Olympic 2026 Medal Count, Final Tally, Winners from Day 13 Events
Jordan Stolz picked up his third medal in speed skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Thursday.
Stolz, the winner in the 500 and 1,000 meters, took home silver in the 1,500 meters, but the result itself was viewed as a surprise.
The American speed skater was dominant in the event all season. He was unable to match the Olympic record time set by China's Ning Zhongyan.
Elsewhere at the Milan Cortina Games on Thursday, the newest Olympic sport handed out its first medals and Norway extended its lead atop the medal chart.
The United States also captured gold in two of the most anticipated events of the Olympics when it defeated Canada in overtime in the final women's hockey game before Alysa Liu won the women's singles figure skating competition.
Men's Speed Skating 1,500 Meters
Gold: Ning Zhongyan (China) - 1:41.98
Silver: Jordan Stolz (USA) - 1:42.75
Bronze: Kjeld Nuis (Netherlands) - 1:42.82
Jordan Stolz made it 3-for-3 on speed skating medals at the Winter Olympics.
The Wisconsin native finished 77-hundredths of a second off the Olympic record pace set by Ning Zhongyan.
While not winning the event has to be viewed as a disappointment for Stolz, he still featured on the medal podium, which was the bare minimum expectation for him in the three sprint distances in Milan.
The silver medal did give Stolz the distinction of most decorated American athlete at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He has one more event on his schedule, Saturday's mass start.
Ski Mountaineering Women's Sprint
Gold: Marianne Fatton (Switzerland) - 2:59.77
Silver: Emily Harrop (France) - 3:02.15
Bronze: Ana Alonso Rodriguez (Spain) - 3:10.22
Switzerland's Marianne Fatton won the first-ever Olympic gold medal in ski mountaineering.
Fatton was near, or at, the front of the race in all of its stages, including a rigorous uphill climb and a treacherous downhill at the finish.
Fatton beat France's Emily Harrop by over two seconds to claim gold in the sprint event.
The win brought home the sixth gold for Switzerland, all of which have come in some sort of skiing discipline.
Ski Mountaineering Men's Sprint
Gold: Oriol Cardona Coll (Spain) - 2:34.03
Silver: Nikita Filippov (AIN) - 2:35.55
Bronze: Thibault Anselmet (France) - 2:36.34
Oriol Cardona Coll won Spain's first Winter Olympics gold medal since 1972.
Cardona Coll won the inaugural ski mountaineering men's sprint event by 1.5 seconds over Nikita Filippov.
Both of Spain's medals at the Milan Cortina Games were won on Thursday in ski mountaineering.
Nordic Combined Team Sprint
Gold: Norway - 41:18.0
Silver: Finland - 41:18.5
Bronze: Austria - 41:40.3
Norway won its 16th gold medal at the Milan Cortina Games on Thursday morning in nordic combined.
The pair of Andreas Skoglund and Jens Oftebro were the best pair in the cross-country portion of the event, which also includes ski jumping.
Skoglund and Oftebro navigated snowy conditions and avoided mishaps, like a few other countries experienced during the event.
Finland produced a strong challenge to Norway, but it came up just short of springing the upset.
Oftebro became the fifth athlete to earn three gold medals at the Games. Norway and France are represented by four of those athletes.
Women's Hockey
Gold: United States
Silver: Canada
Bronze: Switzerland
The hockey continued to deliver at the 2026 Games with two more overtime games, this time on the women's side.
First, Switzerland defeated Sweden 2-1 in overtime in the bronze-medal game with Alina Muller finding the net for the winning goal. Each team scored in the second period before a defensive battle through a scoreless third period.
That was just the start of the drama, as the United States won the gold with a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Canada.
It seemed as if Canada was going to win via shutout until American legend Hilary Knight scored with fewer than three minutes remaining in regulation. That set the stage for an uptempo three-on-three overtime.
In that overtime, Megan Keller cemented her place in Olympic history with a deke past a defender and backhanded goal to end the tournament.
It was a moment she will surely remember forever, as she secured the gold for her country and team.
Figure Skating Women's Singles
Gold: Alysa Liu (United States) - 226.79
Silver: Kaori Sakamoto (Japan) - 224.90
Bronze: Ami Nakai (Japan) - 219.16
Liu was in excellent position to end up on the podium when she was in third place after the short program, but the gold medal still seemed like a long shot given the level of competition from Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai from Japan.
But Liu elevated herself with a nearly flawless free skate performance that made her an Olympic legend.
The American took home the gold with a razor-thin margin of victory, underscoring how important it was to skate with the ideal combination of technical prowess and artistry.
And she did just that.
Sakamoto and Nakai still finished on the podium with impressive skates of their own, while American Amber Glenn put a disappointing short program in the rearview mirror and climbed from 13th place into the top five.
But the moment belonged to Liu, and she will leave Italy as the Olympic champion.
