Lucas Pinheiro Braathen makes history by grabbing Latin America's first medal at the Milan 2026 games.

By Lori Ewing MILAN, Feb 12 (Reuters) - When Ilia Malinin launched himself into a backflip at the Milano Cortina Olympics, it detonated through the crowd like a firecracker and even brought tennis great Novak Djokovic to his feet with his hands on his head in disbelief.

As he might tell you, that was a long, long time ago. Among hockey players, Marchand, 37, is the oldest first-time Olympian in Milan. To say he is loving it is an understatement.

Jordan Stolz won the men's 1000m with the largest margin of victory on the Olympic level since 1984, crossing the finish line in an Olympic-record 1:06.28.

This is the first Olympics in 50 years where the move hasn't been illegal—and Malinin’s backflip has long been known as the “Bonaly flip.”

The United States women's hockey team has begun to blow out archrival Canada, leading 4-0 with seven minutes left in the second period. Hannah Bilka scored her second goal of the night, assisted by Abbey Murphy, and Caroline Harvey, for the second time of the game, as well.
