Lesser wins the Olympic silver medal in the Men’s Biathlon: Individual event. His final time of 49:43.9 minutes is enough to beat out bronze medalist Evgeniy Garanichev, but 12.2 seconds behind gold medalist Martin Fourcade.

I had little hope. But I targeted a top-15 finish so it would be inappropriate not to be happy with silver now.

Mancuso wins the Olympic bronze medal in the Women’s Alpine Skiing: Combined event. Though the American takes first place after the downhill race, her combined time of 2:35.15 minutes is not enough to secure silver or gold.

Slalom for me is kind of like a game of luck. Roll the dice and it’s on, or roll the dice and it’s off.

I wish I could have an American flag on my back in every World Cup because that’s a really cool feeling to hold that and know that you’re not only representing yourself and your family or your team, but the entire country that you come from.
