Medal Tally Olympics 2014: Updated Results for Each Event from Day 2
With Day 2 of the 2014 Winter Olympics officially coming to an end, the competition is heating up in every sport on one of world's biggest stages.
Several medals were handed out on Day 2, but one of the most talked about is the fact that the host country of Russia dominated the first-ever team figure skating competition. The Sochi official Twitter account shared a photo of young star Julia Lipnitskaia during her final routine:
While the Russians took the top spot in the team competition, Team USA was able to pull out a bronze medal.
Thanks to a sensational performance from Gracie Gold in the women's portion and the continued dominance of Meryl Davis and Charlie White in ice dancing, the Americans will now look ahead to the individual competitions with hopes to win more hardware on the ice.
Apart from the team figure skating event, seven other medal events took place with multiple countries adding to their medal count. Here is a breakdown of each country and their standing through two days of competition:
| 1 | Norway | 2 | 1 | 4 | 7 |
| 2 | Netherlands | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
| 3 | United States | 2 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
| T4 | Canada | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 |

The US won another slopestyle event, but this time it came from a much more expected star in Jamie Anderson. The odds-on favorite coming into the competition, Anderson proved herself in front of the Sochi fans with a gold-medal run.
Shortly after the event, Anderson tweeted about the win with her family and closest supporters:
With the win, Team USA secured the first ever gold medals in both men's and women's slopestyle events, following a huge win from Sage Kotsenburg on Day 1. The official Instagram account of US Snowboarding captured the moment for Anderson on the podium:
One of the biggest disappointments for Team USA came in the form of Bode Miller. After looking competitive in the early qualifying events of the men's downhill skiing competition, Miller finished eighth in the event.
Roxanna Scott of USA Today provides a picture of the emotional Miller following his run:
Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports notes that it was certainly not the finish that Miller wanted, but it's not his last chance to claim a medal for Team USA:
