MILAN (AP) — Alina Muller did it again. Twelve years after scoring the clinching goal to deliver Switzerland its first Olympic medal in women's hockey — a bronze at the 2014 Sochi Games — Muller scored 9:09 into overtime in a 2-1 win over Sweden on Thursday for the bronze at the Milan Cortina Games.
Switzerland and Sweden face off in the women's ice hockey third-place game of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina on Thursday, with both teams hoping to claim bronze.
In the men's cross-country team spring, Ben Ogden and Gus Schumacher surged to silver to deliver the United States its first-ever Olympic medal in the event. Ogden won his second silver as he previously became the first American man to reach an Olympic cross-country podium since 1976.
When thinking of Italy in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, the national hockey team is rarely the first to come to mind.
