The United States completed a nightmarish individual short-track showing in Sochi on Friday afternoon, failing to capture a single medal in the competition.

But it wasn't all bad news for the Americans. The men's relay team did secure a silver medal in the 5,000-meter event, finishing just behind Russia.

In the event, Victor An solidified his title as the king of Sochi, skating a blistering final two laps to secure gold for Russia, just ahead of J.R. Celski and the United States.

The Russian team finished in an Olympic-record time of 6:42.10.

An, a highly decorated Olympian who captured three gold medals and a bronze for Korea in Turin, finished with two individual golds, a team gold and a bronze for Russia.

For the United States, it took 14 days, but they finally secured a medal on the short-track.ย 

China, who had a nasty spill on the first lap, rallied to secure the bronze.

In the menโ€™s 500-meter finals, Russiaโ€™s An continued his dominance of the short-track, capturing the gold, his second individual gold in Sochi and fifth career overall.

Celski, who came into the Games hoping to become the face of American short-track, failed to qualify for the finals. He fell in his quarterfinal race, but was advanced to the semifinals due to a penalty. But he couldn't get through.

In the womenโ€™s 1,000-meter finals, Korea secured two spots on the podium.

Seung-hi Park captured the gold medal, followed by Chinaโ€™s Kexin Fan with silver.

Suk Hee Shim of Korea, one of the favorites in the event, had to settle for bronze.

Jessica Smith, the lone American skater to make a final on Friday, finished in fourth.
