Women's ice hockey
What a day to remember for U.S. coach Mark Johnson: He celebrated the anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice," in which he scored two goals, and saw his team avenge their 2006 Olympic shootout loss to Sweden with a 9-1 victory.
The U.S. team advanced to the gold medal game Thursday against Canada, a 5-0 winner over Finland.
The Americans jumped ahead 4-0, then put the game away with four goals early in the third period, all against Kim Martin, the same goalie who stunned them in Turin. Monique Lamoureux scored three goals. Angela Ruggiero, a four-time Olympian playing in her record 250th game, also scored.
Canada's Meghan Agosta set an Olympics record with her ninth goal, and Canada upped its margin of victory for the tournament to 46-2.
