It was a slow day of medals for the top countries in the medal count, so even though the U.S. only took home one medal today, they find themselves tied with Norway for first. That medal went to Noelle Pikus-Pace, the skeleton racer finally taking home a prize after her attempts in 2006 and 2010 were thwarted.
Your feel-good story of the day comes from the men's cross country event, where gold medalist Dario Cologna of Switzerland stuck around at the finish line waiting for injured last-place finisher Roberto Carcelen, Peru's sole competitor at the Games.
