After a slow start in the medal count, Team USA is picking up speed late in the game at the Olympics. In a nail-biter, the women's hockey team took home gold after beating Canada in a shootout. Shea Corrigan, Olympics Editor at FanSided, and James Yoder, Founder and CEO at Chat Sports, discuss the historic win. The win comes exactly 38 years to the day after the "Miracle On Ice." Another surprising gold medal win for the Americans came in cross-country skiing. Kikkan Randall and Jessica Diggans won by 0.19 seconds. Randall is the only mom on Team USA this Winter Olympics. It's her fifth Olympics, but only her first medal at an international competition.
