Winter Olympics recap: Brignone completes dramatic comeback and Ukrainian athlete excluded
Federica Brignone became the oldest female Olympic super-G gold medalist at 35 after a year of rehab, while Ukrainian slider Vladyslav Heraskevych was excluded for a helmet protest.
- At Thursday, an athlete won the women's super-G at the Milan Cortina Games after injury comeback.
- After breaking multiple bones, Brignone spent a year in rehab and only returned to racing last month.
- The result added to Italy's haul as Brignone navigated foggy conditions, with Miradoli taking silver and Huetter bronze, helping Italy reach 17 medals in total.
- As the men's skeleton competition got under way Thursday morning, Vladyslav Heraskevych was barred after refusing to give up a helmet commemorating athletes killed since Russia invaded, the International Olympic Committee said it broke rules and Kirsty Coventry tried a last-minute compromise.
- On Thursday, Chloe Kim sought a third medal but was overtaken by Gaon Choi with a 90.25, amid other Olympic results including Woods' upset win in men's moguls.
