Steven Holcomb and Steven Langton broke a 62 year non-medal drought by earning bronze in the two-man bobsled. Also a buzz in bobsled news, a Jamaican bobsled team consisting of Marvin Dixon and Winston Watts competed, and although they received support from the crowd, they came in last place.

In hockey news, the U.S. women’s hockey team will be playing Canada in the gold medal match as they have in the past three Olympics. The American team has not beaten the Canadians, but they hope that their luck will change this Olympics.

Watch out for the ladies’ giant slalom, ladies’ 3000 meter short track relay and men’s snowboard cross on NBC tonight starting at 7:00 p.m.
