In ski cross, Germany’s Daniela Maier sprinted to gold, edging Switzerland’s Fanny Smith, with Sweden’s Sandra Naeslund taking bronze in Livigno. Meanwhile, Team USA dominated Slovakia 6–2 in the men’s hockey semifinals, with Jack Hughes scoring twice and Dylan Larkin, Tage Thompson, Jack Eichel, and Brady Tkachuk adding one each, securing a spot in the gold medal game against Canada.
