It was a day marked by a comeback and controversy at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Federica Brignone won a gold medal in the women's super-G to complete one of skiing's all-time great recoveries after badly breaking her leg a year ago. Vladyslav Heraskevych of Ukraine was excluded from the Olympics after refusing to give up his plan to race in a helmet commemorating athletes who have been killed since Russia invaded his country. The International Olympic Committee said the helmet broke its rules. Chloe Kim of the United States fell just short in her bid to become the first snowboarder to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals.
