Day 10 of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics belonged to the United States on just about every surface. Jordan Stolz pocketed another Olympic gold, Chloe Kim rode to silver in the halfpipe, and the U.S. men’s hockey team wrapped up group play without a single loss. It was also the day one of the Games’ most charged controversies boiled over, with Ukrainian slider Vladyslav Heraskevych disqualified over a “helmet of remembrance.” Here is how it all unfolded, plus where and when to watch as the action shifts into knockout mode.
Jordan Stolz kept his breakout Olympics roaring, adding another title on the oval and lowering the Olympic standard in the sprint. The win stacks on top of his earlier 1,000-meter victory, giving him a second gold in Milan-Cortina. His latest triumph, complete with that Olympic-record time, was broken down by NBC Chicago.
Over in the halfpipe, California's favorite Chloe Kim’s bid for a historic three-peat came up just short. She opened with a strong first run that put her within striking distance of another title, but she ultimately landed in second place with an 88.00 on a tricky day in the pipe. That silver-medal effort and the tense final were recapped by NBC Bay Area.
On the ice, Team USA’s men’s hockey squad finished group play with a perfect record, rolling past Germany 5-1 to clinch a top seed heading into the knockouts. The clean sweep of the prelims, and how the return of NHL stars has shifted the entire feel of the tournament, were detailed by the Los Angeles Times.
Today's Schedule And TV
Alpine skiing anchors the Monday lineup. The men’s slalom restarts early, with Run 1 scheduled for 4 a.m. ET (1 a.m. PT) and the second run set for around 7:30 a.m. ET (about 4:30 a.m. PT). Broad U.S. coverage is available on Peacock and USA Network, with primetime highlights gathered into NBC's evening broadcast, according to NBC Sports. As always, viewers should check local listings for exact windows and any late-night re-airs.
Controversy And What It Means
The Games are not just about medals at the moment. In Milan, IOC officials signaled they are exploring a path to bring Russia and Belarus back into future Olympics, a move that could ripple into planning for Los Angeles 2028. That developing push, and the growing debate over neutrality, were outlined by the Los Angeles Times.
The political tensions came into sharp focus when Ukraine’s Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified after refusing to compete without a helmet bearing images of people killed in the war. The decision and the role of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in handling the dispute were reported by AP News.
For viewers back home, NBC's "Primetime in Milan" block starts at 8 p.m., wrapping the day’s key storylines into one package. Expect Stolz’s record-setting laps, Kim’s pressure-packed halfpipe runs, and the hockey beatdown of Germany to feature prominently, according to NBC Sports. With the Games entering their final week, the schedule now tilts toward bracket play and direct elimination, setting up a sprint to the finish filled with knockout drama and more medal swings.
