Jordan Stolz has one gold and is targeting three more. And Chloe Kim and a bunch of NHL stars are just getting started.Von Allmen won the super-G in Bormio on Wednesday to become the third man with three victories in Alpine skiing at one Winter Games. It hadnt been done since 1968.Thats not a priority for von Allmen, though. He said hes just staying in the moment. As for history, maybe in a few years it will be important for me, he added.Von Allmen won the downhill on Saturday and paired with Tanguy Nef to win the team combined Monday. Skating and waiting for StolzJordan Stolz won the first of what could be four gold medals at these Winter Olympics in mens 1,000-meter speedskating.The 21-year-old from Wisconsin set an Olympic record with his time but had to wait longer than usual for his victory to be confirmed because another skater was given a do-over after being bumped during his race. When Joep Wennermars of the Netherlands failed to beat Stolz, it was time for the American to take a delayed victory lap.Later Wednesday, there could be American gold in skating of a very different sort as Madison Chock and Evan Bates compete in ice dance. NHL stars back on Olympic iceThe puck dropped on mens hockey on Wednesday, marking the return of NHL players to the Games for the first time since 2014.It started with the Juraj Slafkovsky show, part two.The Slovakian forward who lit up the 2022 Olympics as a 17-year-old tournament MVP returned as an NHL star with the Montreal Canadiens and picked up where he left off.Slafkovsky finished with two goals, including the tournament opener, and one assist as Slovakia upset 2022 gold medalist Finland 4-1 in the first game of the preliminary round. Sweden plays Italy later Wednesday.The NHL opted not to participate in the Pyeongchang Olympics of 2018, and pandemic-related scheduling issues prompted the league to skip the Beijing Games in 2022. Kim off to a flying startThe halfpipe three-peat attempt began promisingly for Chloe Kim on Wednesday as she finished first in qualifying while wearing a shoulder brace. After a shoulder injury disrupted her buildup to the Games, Kim credited her muscle memory and a very well-behaved shoulder for getting her through to the 12-athlete final on Thursday.Elsewhere in the mountains, Elizabeth Lemley and Jaelin Kauf won gold and silver for the United States in womens freestyle moguls skiing. Host nation Italy picked up its third gold when Andrea Voetter and Marion Oberhofer were the surprise winners in a new event, womens doubles luge.Jens Luraas Oftebro of Norway overtook rivals and plowed through deep, slushy snow for gold in the Nordic combined normal hill event. And in the womens 15-kilometer individual biathlon, Julia Simon became the first Frenchwoman to win gold and teammate Lou Jeanmonnot took silver. Team Canada heartbroken after shootingThe Canadian team at the Winter Olympics issued a statement saying it is heartbroken after waking to the news of a deadly school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.
