No, that was her 2nd run. She's the last to go in each run.

Wow! That was so exciting, we never saw that coming! I feel sad for Chloe but she's doing a great job of smiling and looking happy.
All 3 medalists are amazing, and the two 16 year olds were great too and hopefully we'll see them in 2030

That medal ceremony was the best! Mitsuki Ono was brushing snow off Tina, Chloe Kim was beaming, and the two of them kept trying to applaud and cheer for Gaon Choi, but the announcements kept going on each time they started, lol!
Plus a hottie giving out the medals. I missed an announcement/chyron of who he is.

Lollobrigida joins an incredible list of women who've won double gold in the 3000m and 5000m in speed skating in this century:
2002: Pechstein
2010: Sablikova
2022: Schouten
Sablikova and Wust each got one gold, one silver in Sochi.
Sablikova was ill, and not up to her best, but the commentators said the 5000m was her last Olympic appearance, after having had to pull from the 3000m earlier. What a great skater.

Imagine getting arrested because of this.

Man arrested after 16 years on the run when he returns to Italy to watch the Olympics
The Slovak national returned to attend Slovakia's opening hockey game of the Winter Olympics.

The Ukrainian skeleton athlete was disqualified and not allowed to run because he had images on his helmet to remember fallen Ukrainians, including athletes. I'm not sure there is much consistency in how the IOC applies the rule. A black armband would be okay, but the helmet would not? (Even though armbands are supposedly prohibited?) A much more explicit sign saying "No War in Ukraine" was okay, but this was not?

Kneeling is supposedly a violation of the charter, so let's see if the Ukrainians who kneeled today in response to the disqualification will themselves be disqualified.
Ukrainian skeleton athlete out of Olympics over banned helmet
Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych will not compete after refusing a last-minute plea from the IOC to use a helmet other than the one that honors more than 20 of his country's athletes and coaches killed in the war with Russia.
