Klaebo becomes the most decorated Winter Olympian ever at Milano Cortina, what was your standout moment from these Games

[Georgia97]

The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics produced no shortage of genuinely historic moments, but Norway's Johannes Klaebo topped them all, winning six gold medals across the cross country skiing programme to push his career total to eleven Olympic golds and establish himself as the outright all time leader in Winter Games gold medals, a staggering individual haul from a single Games that will take some serious effort for anyone to ever match.

Elsewhere on the mountain, 41 year old American skier Lindsey Vonn provided one of the more sobering moments of the entire Games, crashing just twelve seconds into her downhill run during her fifth Olympic appearance following a five year retirement, and needing to be evacuated from the mountain by helicopter stretcher, a stark reminder of the physical risks these athletes take on even at the very top of a sport they have mastered over decades. On the ice, figure skater Ilia Malinin became the first competitor to land a backflip at the Winter Olympics since 1976, a genuinely rare piece of skating history, though it was Japan's Yuma Kagiyama who ultimately claimed gold ahead of Malinin's silver medal winning score of 98.00.

Team USA's men's hockey side delivered arguably the single biggest result of the Games for American fans specifically, beating Canada 2-1 in the gold medal match to claim their first Olympic hockey title in 46 years, since the famous Lake Placid triumph of 1980. Meanwhile Chinese freestyle skier Eileen Gu added a sixth Olympic medal to her collection, making her the most decorated Olympic freestyle skier in history, an achievement that arrived alongside the ongoing debate around her earlier decision to represent China at these Games rather than the United States, where she was born and originally developed as a skier.
