The U.S. moved up to a second-place tie in the overall medal count, and a Russian Olympic veteran withdrew from the Winter Games. Here's a recap of Thursday's action in Sochi:
We’ll all remember the 2012 London Games for having some of the best moments in Olympic history. How can we forget the star-studded opening with Mr. Bean? Oh, right, there were games too.
When Hungarian swimmer Daniel Gyurta won the gold medal in the 200m breaststroke during the London Olympics it just didn’t feel right.
That’s because rival and good friend Dale Oen wasn’t there to compete against him.
When it comes to the 2012 Olympics, British bookshop owner David Mitchell said it best, “Performance levels have become so much higher that it’s so hard now to get a medal.” Just think about Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, both of whom have won medals by mere seconds ahead of their competitors. But does that make those Olympians who came just shy of placing any less athletic?
