Mikaël Kingsbury, the most accomplished freestyle skier of all time, raised the flag as one of Canada’s flagbearers at the opening ceremony.

The Olympic ski jumping programme will conclude with the men’s team large hill event on Monday night.

Domen, having won individual large hill gold yesterday, will bid to tie Nykanen as the only athlete to win three ski jumping gold medals in the same Olympics.

Prevc rebounded from a disappointing first jump to win bronze.

Prevc moved herself past two other Norwegian athletes, Silje Opseth and Heidi Dyhre Traaserud, with a 127.5m leap in the final round.

Matti Nykänen, Simon Ammann, and Kamil Stoch are all considered greats of the sport.

Odine Strøm's historic gold was given to the 27-year-old from the far north of Norway.

Kvandal finished just 2.1 points behind in silver.

Kvandal jumped 133.5m in her own attempt, the furthest of the evening.

The five-person judging panel deemed Odine Strøm’s attempt to be cleaner.

Norway’s Anna Odine Strøm took her second gold in ski jumping in the women’s large hill on Sunday evening.

Slovenia’s Nika Prevc was the heavy favourite entering the competition.

This year is the first Games that women have competed in the large hill discipline.

She plans to rest Monday, then train Tuesday.

Slalom is the event that is hers to lose, though — as other American stars such as Ilia Malinin and Chloe Kim have shown — at the Olympics, a fancy resume guarantees nothing.

Brignone’s stellar morning run knocked Shiffrin down to more than a second off the lead and ultimately into seventh place with one run to go.

She won it at the Olympics 12 years ago.

The Italian Alpine skiing star, who returned to competition a month ago after a bad injury last April, won her second gold of these Games.

She couldn’t think clearly, she didn’t want to go fast.

With therapy and training, she slowly worked her way back into racing form.
