The Canadians performed just minutes after the French couple Gabriella Padadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, who stunned the crowd with the highest free dance score ever, despite an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction in their previous performance.

Sigourney, 28, came into these Olympics after winning silver in the X Games last month. It was her fourth X Games medal in an injury-plagued career.

Sigourney was joined in the final by U.S. teammates Maddie Bowman and Annalisa Drew. Bowman, the 2014 Olympic medalist, fell on her last run but was able to walk off the course. Drew finished fourth.

It was the 11th medal overall for the U.S. team and first since Nick Goepper won silver in men's slopestyle skiing on Sunday.

Canada and Germany tie for gold in men's bobsled

Canada and Germany shared the podium after tying for first place in men's bobsled. Both teams finished in exactly 3 minutes, 16.86 seconds.

The Canadian sled driven by Justin Kripps and pushed by Alexander Kopacz will share the gold with the German sled driven by Francesco Friedrich and pushed by Thorsten Margis.

It’s the third time the top two sleds have finished tied in an Olympic two-man race. Canada and Italy shared gold in 1998 — and Italy got the gold over West Germany in 1968, even though both sleds had the same time. The Olympics then utilized a fastest-heat tiebreaker, which gave the Italians the nod.

Men’s hockey

The U.S. men's hockey team advance to the quarterfinals after defeating Slovakia 5-1.

Three goals second-period goals were able to solidify Team USA's lead throughout the game. Ryan Donato score twice and the other three goals were made by Peter Ceresnak, James Wisniewski and Mark Arcobello.

Team USA will be facing off against the Czech Republic tomorrow in the quarterfinals.

Men’s team large hill

Norway took gold, Germany took silver and Poland took bronze in men's team large hill ski jumping.

The Norwegians continue to dominate the games with a total medal count of 28. They're the most decorated country so far in PyeongChang with an eight medal lead over second place team Germany.
