Highlights from Day 5 of the Winter Olympics!
Shaun White won his THIRD Olympic Gold medal in men’s halfpipe last night. He was in second place going into his final run and NAILED it. He ended up with a 97.75 and won by more than two points.
Shaun’s win was also the ONE-HUNDREDTH Gold medal the U.S. has won all time in the Winter Olympics.

The U.S. women’s hockey team beat Russia yesterday, 5 to 0. And forward Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson set an Olympic record by scoring back-to-back goals in just SIX SECONDS. We’re still a week away from the medal round in that one.
