Norway claimed an improbable cross country relay gold at the Winter Olympics on Saturdaay after Ebba Andersson met disaster for top favourites Sweden in the second leg. World champions Sweden held the lead at the first exchange from sprint gold medallist Linn Svahn.

Curling at the Winter Olympics is always a fan-favorite event, but its viral popularity reached new heights thanks to a heated confrontation between Team Canada and Team Sweden at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games.

Day 8 of the 2026 Milan Cortina Games brings another massive slate of events including skiing disciplines, men's and women's hockey and curling matches. Team USA’s Jaelin Kauf took silver in the dual moguls as compatriot Elizabeth Lemley took bronze behind Australia’s Jakara Anthony.

Sweden's chances at a gold medal in the women's 4 x 7.5km relay on Saturday were derailed following a pair of crashes that opened the door for Norway.

Friday will mark the first-ever meeting between the Czechs and Swedes at the Winter Games. The last time these two met in a major international competition came during the group stage of the 2022 IIHF Women’s World Championship, which saw Czechia win 3-0 on its way to the bronze medal.
