GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Mia Manganello crossed the finish line, glanced at the videoboard and let out a yell. She then grabbed hands with American teammates Heather Bergsma and Brittany Bowe, and the trio thrust their arms in the air.
The Americans had reason to celebrate Wednesday. They finally won a long-track speedskating medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics, ending a U.S. drought dating to the 2010 Vancouver Games.
"It was just an uproar of emotions of screamin' and cheerin'," a smiling Manganello said.
The trio earned bronze in the women's team pursuit, beating Canada by 0.
