The first medal was handed out in women's hockey, and the medal round in men's hockey was officially set Wednesday at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Finland edged the Olympic Athletes from Russia to take women's hockey bronze, while the OAR, Germany and Canada all reached the semifinals on the men's side, joining the Czech Republic, which defeated the United States in a shootout.
The 2018 men's tournament is perhaps the most unpredictable one in Olympic hockey history, as evidenced by Germany's shocking win over Sweden, and there remains little separation to speak of between the four teams that will play for medals.
