US Shut Outs Russians 5-0 in Women's Hockey, Lamoureux Davidson Sets Record
American Jocelyne-Lamoureux Davidson has set the Olympic hockey record for the fastest consecutive goals by a man or woman, helping the United States shut out the Russians 5-0.

Speedskater Biney Eliminated In 500m Short Track; Italy takes gold
Italy's Arianna Fontana won the 500-meter short track after a photo finish just ahead of Korea's Choi Min-Jeong.

Ghana-born Maame Biney, the first black woman to qualify for a U.S. Olympic short track team, was eliminated from the 500-meters during a tough quarterfinal Tuesday morning.
Americans Fail to Medal in 1500m Speedskating
Four-time Olympic medalist Shani Davis and his compatriots Joey Mantia and Brian Hansen were unable to grab a place on the podium in the 1,500-meter long track speedskating event Tuesday.
Davis and Mantia were part of the disappointing team that went without any medals at the Sochi Games in 2014, which Mantia has called "a complete disaster." The 1,500 meter is his best event and he was considered the Americans’ best shot at a medal.
Mantia’s eighth-place finish was the best among the Americans and an improvement on his Sochi results, but nowhere near the Netherlands’ Kjeld Nuis, who took gold. Team USA hasn’t won a speedskating medal since the Vancouver Olympics in 2010.
Watch here, and during NBC10’s daytime Olympics coverage at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
