Breezy Johnson won gold in women’s downhill skiing on Sunday, becoming only the second American woman to accomplish the feat. It was the first Olympic medal of her career, and the first gold medal for Team USA at this year’s Winter Games. She tearfully stood at the podium to accept her gold, afterwards saying, “it doesn’t feel real yet.”

Team USA’s second medal came on Sunday after a nail-biting figure skating team event. Ilia Manlin, also known as the “Quad god” stepped onto the ice with the gold medal hinging on his performance. The breakout star delivered, earning Team USA enough points to defeat Japan.

On Wednesday, Elizabeth Lemley, 20, won gold in her Olympic debut in women’s moguls. Her teammate, Jaelin Kauf, took the silver. Speedskater Jordan Stolz took the gold in men’s 1,000-meters, setting an Olympic record.

Norway currently leads in the gold count, with eight gold medals for the winter sports powerhouse. They are tied with host nation, Italy, for total medals with 18.
