HIGHLY INTERESTING! It's a big day for Team U.S.A. 20-year-old Alysa Liu, the reigning world champion, enters today's free skate in third place overall, with a chance of winning gold at her second Olympics.

Meanwhile, speed skater Jordan Stolz is going for his third gold in the men’s 1,500 meters, and the strongly-favored women’s hockey team hopes to defeat Canada in the final.
