Thursday’s slate of events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics will feature plenty of exciting action on the ice.

The United States women’s hockey team will face rival Canada in the gold-medal game. When the two teams met earlier in the preliminary round, USA came out on top 5-0. The U.S. has outscored its opponents 31-1 in this tournament and can finish off one of the most dominant runs in Olympic history.

Staying on the ice but moving to a different sport, Alysa Liu is looking for a gold medal as women’s figure skating competition wraps up with the free skate. Liu sits in third place after the short program behind Japan’s Nakai Ami and Sakamoto Kaori. Other American skaters Isabeau Levito and Amber Glenn — known with Liu as the “Blade Angels” — are in eighth and 12th place, respectively.
