The Milan Cortina Olympics on Wednesday featured a prominent American duo skating for gold in ice dance free dance, Evan Bates and Madison Chock.
Bates and Chock are already two-time Olympic gold medalists in team and three-time world champions, but they've never earned individual gold. That remains the case after Wednesday. The duo were second in rhythm dance behind the French duo of Laurence Beaudry Fournier and Guillaume Cizeron before the free dance portion. Bates and Chock took home silver, while Beaudry Fournier and Cizeron earned gold. Canadians Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier won bronze.
Chloe Kim made her Milan Cortina debut on the snowboarding halfpipe qualifying round. Racing after suffering a torn labrum in her shoulder last month, she finished in first place to qualify for the finals and continue her quest to become the first snowboarder to win three straight Olympic gold medals. Finals will take place on Thursday.
