Olympics Day Guide: Feb. 23

So, the second-to-last day of competition turned out to be the worst for the U.S., as the Americans failed to medal in anything and fell to second in the medal count behind Mother Russia. Ouch. Here were some of the big stories of the day:

• With Finland's win over the U.S. in the men's hockey bronze medal game, Teemu Selanne finishes his career with three bronze medals and a silver. The 43-year-old was playing in his sixth Olympic Games, and if he goes one more, he gets a free sub.
• Norwegian women are very good at cross country skiing. 
• Dutch people are very good at speedskating.
• Benedict Arnold won another gold medal.
