VARIOUS OF TEAMS AFTER MATCH STORY: Francesca Lollobrigida delivered another spectacular performance on home ice, blasting to victory in the women's 5,000 metres on Thursday (February 12) to secure her second gold medal of the Milano Cortina Olympics. The Italian fan favourite, who captured the 3,000m title on Saturday (February 7), was joined on the podium by Dutchwoman Merel Conijn, who claimed silver, and bronze medallist Ragne Wiklund of Norway. Competing in her fourth Olympics, Lollobrigida stopped the clock at six minutes 46.17, finishing 0.10 seconds ahead of Conijn in front of a roaring home crowd. The result lifts Italy's Milano Cortina gold tally to six, one behind medal-table leaders Norway. Defending champions Canada cruised to a 5-0 win over Finland to secure second spot in Group A of the women's Olympic ice hockey tournament, as they coped again without injured captain Marie-Philip Poulin in their final group game. After a humbling 5-0 loss to rivals the U.S., Canada opened the scoring in the first period through Jennifer Gardiner. Daryl Watts and Kristin O'Neill netted in the second, and Emily Clark scored twice in the final period. The rescheduled game, postponed last Thursday (February 5) after members of Finland's team tested positive for norovirus, ended up being a face-off for the runners-up place in the group from which all five teams advance to the quarter-finals. Canada took the lead after 15 minutes with Gardiner sending the puck over the shoulder of goaltender Sanni Ahola from a Julia Gosling pass, after O'Neill had held off the Finnish defenders. Finland, four-times bronze medallists, proved stubborn opponents until Canada began to rack up the shots. Marc Muskatewitz's Germany, the 2024 European champions, were pushed until the final end by Norway before winning 5-4 in the men's curling. Meanwhile, Bruce Mouat's Britain triumphed 6-3 over Niklas Edin's defending champions Sweden in an early meeting between the gold medal favourites, as well as a rematch of the Beijing 2022 Olympic final. Edin struggled to find his range as world champions Britain clinched their second win of the round-robin stage, after beating China in their opener on Wednesday (February 11). Yannick Schwaller's Switzerland beat the United States 8-3 – a game in which U.S. curler Rich Ruohonen became the nation's oldest-ever Winter Olympian at 54. (Production: Ben Dangerfield)
