On Thursday, the United States jumped out to an early lead in the figure skating team competition at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. But by the time Saturday was over, the Americans had fallen to second, as the Russian Olympic Committee took over the top spot.
With five events complete in the team competition, there are only three still to take place, all of which will happen Sunday night (Monday morning in Beijing). The Russian Olympic Committee, which holds a 45-42 lead over the U.S., will look to secure the gold with strong performances in pairs free skate, free dance and women's free skate.
