+ The ice hockey masters are put to the test
After a shaky start, the NHL stars of Tre Kronor finally beat host nation Italy 5-2. On Friday, they face much tougher opposition in the form of a Nordic derby against Finland. The neighboring country started the tournament with a loss against Slovakia and is said to be eager for revenge.
+ Norway chases continued triumphs
Norway has started the Olympics in style. Most medals have come in cross-country skiing, where the Norwegian men are as dominant as the Swedish women. The standout Johannes Høsflot Klæbo has already won Olympic gold in skiathlon and sprint and now new Norwegian medal chances await in 10 kilometers. Biathletes Johan-Olav Botn (Olympic gold in the 20 km) and teammate Sturla Holm Lægreid (bronze in the 20 km) are also chasing new medals in the sprint.
+ The vaulting prodigy goes for gold
Ilia Malinin drew a lot of attention when he landed a now-legal, historic backflip during the team competition. The previously banned backflip was part of the 21-year-old's program, which helped give the United States Olympic gold. In Friday's free program, the American prodigy is chasing his first individual gold and is one of the big favorites.
