The Winter Olympics delivered instances of incredible skill. From skiers and snowboarders who seemed to defy gravity, to curlers who have mastered the art of placing stones in the right spot, there was no shortage of highlights to be amazed at.
With time running out in the first period, ROC forwardwrapped around the net and fired off a casual shot from what looked to be an impossible angle, but a lucky deflection off the shin of a Swiss skater put it into the net with just 2.7 seconds left.
It ended up being the deciding goal in this game, as neither team scored in the final two periods and ROC beat Switzerland 1-0., who proved that it's possible to be perfect evenSitting in third place ahead of her last run in the freeski big air final, Gu opted to try a double cork 1620 — a trick she had never attempted, even in practice — and stomped it. Her spur-of-the-moment decision to go for progression over safety was rewarded with her first of two gold medals in Beijing.
At the time, Great Britain held a 4-2 lead over Japan and had the hammer in the seventh end. That's when, a four-time Olympian, was able to blow the game wide open with a great shot that took the Japanese stone out of play and secured four points for her team. That gave Great Britain a six-point lead, which proved insurmountable. They would force Japan to concede two ends later and win by a score of 10-3, giving Muirhead her first Olympic gold medal.
Unfortunately for the Danish women, this would end up being one of just two wins they collected at the Games.
