It’s arguably the event at every Winter Olympics, and the 2018 games in Pyeongchang, South Korea were no exception. The athletes took to the ice on Feb. 22 for the climax of the women’s figure skating event, and the whole sporting world paused to watch. After a short program that saw Evgenia Medvedeva, 18, set a world record that Alina Zagitova, 15, would break fifteen minutes later, all eyes were on these two Olympic athletes from Russia. And guess what? They took both gold and silver by night’s end, shutting out all Americans in the event.
Evgenia scored 239.57 points, while Alina scored 238.26. What’s astounding is that these girls, who brought their A-game at the Gangneung Ice Arena on Friday, took the top two spots for the first time in the same Games. And it’s the second consecutive Olympics a Russian woman has taken gold. Of course, Kaetlyn Osmond of Canada, who won bronze, can’t be forgotten. She was also just as amazing on the ice. America, however, was completely shut out. The highest U.S. finisher was Bradie Tennell at ninth. Maybe USA will have better luck in 2022.
