It was a suspenseful hockey match yesterday with the U.S. women's team beating Canada in overtime. The triumph was the second for the Americans in Olympic play, and first in 20 years, since the inaugural women’s tournament at the 1998 Nagano Games.

Fans of Japan also cheered on the men's Nordic combined team, which looked like they had a chance to medal for a long time, before they ended up in fourth.
