Winners include:

Gold medals for Ireen Wust, of the Netherlands, for winning the 1500 meter race in speed skating; Sandra Naeslund, Sweden, for figure skiing and Guillaume Cizeron, France, and their partner Gabriela Papadakis for figure skating-pairs.

The Canadian Women’s Hockey Team and their 7 out members (Brianne Jenner, Emily Clark, Erin Ambrose, Melodie Daoust, Jamie Lee Rattray, Jill Saulnier, Micah Zandee-Hart) also nabbed a gold medal.

The US Women’s Hockey Team which includes one out player, Alex Carpenter, won the silver medal.
