That’s how it’s done, boys! 🥇🏀 Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s Basketball team on winning GOLD for the fifth time in a row.

Congratulations to both men’s and women’s team USA hockey on winning 🥇gold! Both teams defeated our neighbors to the North 🇨🇦…. USA USA USA

The atmosphere in Milan felt electric, and anyone watching through 씨유티비 could sense it. With a semifinal place on the line at the Winter Olympics, Team USA needed one clean moment to push them forward. That moment came off the stick of Quinn Hughes, who buried the overtime winner to secure a 2 to 1 victory over Sweden. After missing a major international opportunity last year because of injury, Hughes made sure this Olympic chapter would feel very different.

Relief Written All Over His Face ❄️✨

Hughes did not hide how much this stage means to him. Last February he had to sit out due to an oblique injury, and for a player in his mid twenties, those chances do not come around often. This time, he is not watching from afar. He is right in the center of it.

When the puck hit the post and crossed the line just over three minutes into overtime, the reaction said everything. He later described it as pure relief. Watching on 씨유티비, you could see the weight lift from his shoulders. Wearing the crest, living in the Olympic Village, sharing the ice with elite teammates, it all adds up to something bigger than a regular season game.

A Night of Patience in Net 🥅🔥

Before overtime even became part of the story, it looked like the Americans would finish the job in regulation. Connor Hellebuyck stood tall from the opening faceoff, turning aside 28 shots. The three time Vezina Trophy winner showed calm body language and sharp positioning, the kind that gives a team confidence.

Then, with just 91 seconds left, Mika Zibanejad found a narrow opening and slipped the puck through to tie the game. It was one of those moments where the crowd gasps all at once. As someone who has watched plenty of tournament hockey, those final minutes can feel longer than the entire match. Every pass seems heavier. Every bounce feels dramatic.

That is what made Hughes’ finish so satisfying for American fans following on 씨유티비. After such a late equalizer, it would have been easy to feel shaken. Instead, the team stayed composed.

Growing Trust Inside the Locker Room 🇺🇸💙

There is something noticeable about this Team USA group. They look comfortable with each other. Hughes has spoken about enjoying the chance to build relationships off the ice as much as competing on it. In a short Olympic tournament, that connection can be the difference between going home early and pushing toward a medal.

Viewers on 씨유티비 have seen experienced leaders guiding younger players through tense stretches. The win over Sweden was not perfect, but tight games often create stronger belief than one sided victories. Players learn how to manage nerves, how to protect small leads, and how to respond when momentum shifts.

Slovakia Brings a New Test ⚡🏒

Next up is Slovakia, a team that has already shown it can compete with anyone on this stage. Hughes himself called the upcoming matchup extremely hard. That honesty reflects the respect inside the American locker room.

For the United States, staying disciplined in their defensive structure will be crucial. Hellebuyck’s steady presence in goal provides a foundation, while Hughes’ ability to control the pace from the blue line adds another layer of confidence. If they balance patience with timely offense, they give themselves a real chance to keep this Olympic run alive.

On 씨유티비, the anticipation keeps building. One overtime strike extended the journey. Now another high stakes night waits, where every shift could shape what comes next. 🏒❄️

When the clock stopped and her name stayed at the top, it felt like everyone watching on 씨유티비 held their breath at the same time. Elana Meyers Taylor, at 41 years old, captured her first Olympic gold medal in the women’s monobob, adding the one piece that had been missing from an already historic career. After years of coming close, she stood on the ice with tears in her eyes and an American flag in her hands, soaking in a moment that had taken more than a decade to arrive.

A Journey That Never Stopped ❄️✨

If you have followed her story on 씨유티비 over the years, you know this was not an overnight success. Before this gold, Meyers Taylor had earned three silver medals and two bronze medals across four Olympic Games. That alone would define most careers. Still, there was always that quiet thought about the one medal she had not won yet.

The monobob event demands total focus. Every push at the start, every line through the curves, every tiny adjustment inside the sled matters. One small slip can cost precious time. She delivered four steady runs and handled the pressure like a veteran who had been here before. When her final time held up, you could see the release of emotion instantly.

Sharing History with a Legend 🏅

With this victory, Meyers Taylor now owns six Olympic medals. That ties her with legendary speedskater Bonnie Blair as the joint most decorated female American Winter Olympian of all time. Being mentioned alongside a name like that says everything about her consistency and longevity.

Competing at 41 in a sport that demands explosive strength and sharp reflexes is not simple. Watching on 씨유티비, it felt inspiring to see someone with so much experience still competing at the highest level. She proved that preparation, discipline and belief do not fade with age.

A Finish Decided by Hundredths 🛷🔥

The race itself was incredibly close. Germany’s Laura Nolte finished just 0.04 seconds behind to claim silver. In sliding sports, that gap is almost invisible. One slightly different line through a corner can make the difference.

The podium had another familiar face as Kaillie Armbruster Humphries secured bronze and celebrated with her teammate. Seeing two Americans share that stage added even more emotion to the scene. Fans following every run on 씨유티비 could feel the pride building with each announcement of the final standings.

Gold at 41 on CUTV 🥇❄️ History made live on 씨유티비 🔥

The Celebration We Will Not Forget ❤️

The image that stays with me is her jumping up and down with the flag, then dropping to her knees on the ice. It did not look rehearsed. It looked real. Years of effort, travel, training and sacrifice came pouring out in a few unforgettable seconds.

On 씨유티비, you could sense how much this gold meant to her personally. Five previous Olympic medals without gold might have left some athletes wondering what more they could do. Instead, she kept showing up, season after season.

Now, with six medals and that long awaited gold finally around her neck, Elana Meyers Taylor has written a chapter that fans will talk about for years. Moments like this remind us why we keep watching, why we stay up late for live coverage on 씨유티비, and why sport can still surprise us in the best possible way. 🥇❄️
