Olympic Highlights: Hockey and Figure Skating Wins

Canada's men's hockey team defeated Finland 3-2 in the Olympic semifinals, advancing to the gold medal match against the U.S. on Sunday. Canada played an offensive game with 39 shots on goal, while Finland played defensively with 17 shots. Finland took an early lead with two goals, but Canada came back to tie the game in the third period. Canada took the lead in the final 35 seconds of the game with a power-play goal by Nathan MacKinnon. The win was celebrated by the mostly Canadian crowd, and Team Canada players stayed on the ice for several minutes to celebrate. Canada's Brad Marchand attributed the win to the team's ability to 'keep pushing' when down by two goals and praised the leadership of players stepping up with captain Sidney Crosby out due to injury.

The U.S. women's hockey team won Olympic gold at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, defeating Canada 2-1 in overtime. Kelly Pannek, a veteran forward, described the journey as an 'incredible ride.' The team rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the third period to win, with Megan Keller scoring the game-winning goal in overtime. Pannek praised the team's belief and trust in each other, and celebrated the victory with her teammates, family, and friends. The win marks the Americans' third Olympic title and is seen as inspiring for young girls playing hockey, with USA Hockey reporting a 65% increase in girls' participation over the past 15 seasons.

Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu shares her insights and advice for aspiring figure skaters in an interview with CBS News. Liu, who made history as the youngest U.S. women's champion at 13 and later retired at 16, returned to competition and won gold in the women's singles event at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. She emphasizes the importance of hard work, dedication, and a genuine love for the sport, as well as being true to oneself and taking time for self-reflection. Liu advises aspiring skaters not to try to be like her, but instead to be their authentic selves.
