We snagged our first two medals at the Winter Olympics this weekend, and both were gold.

Skier Breezy Johnson won the women’s downhill event.  Sadly, Lindsey Vonn crashed 13 seconds into her run and broke her leg.  For the full story courtesy of People Magazine click here.

The U.S. figure skating team also won gold in the team event, beating Japan and defending their title from 2022.  For the full story courtesy of USA Today click here.

The time difference in Italy means a lot of the action is happening overnight and in the early morning hours.  So we won’t go into lots of details in case you’re watching highlights later tonight for Olympics Prime Time on NBC.  Here’s the current medal count in real time at Olympics.com.
