Just now in Milan, Madeline Schizas was emotional coming off the ice after a disappointing performance in the figure skating women's short program. 

Schizas, 23, made a few mistakes, including failing to land her triple loop midway through, which cost her several points. 

"I can't believe I did that," she was heard saying to her coach in the kiss-and-cry area as she awaited her score.

With a score of 55.38, it's unclear whether she'll move on to Thursday's free skate segment. There are still 10 athletes to skate.

In Livigno, Canada's Dylan Deschamps landed in seventh place with a total score of 137.5 after his third and final jump in the men's big air final. 

Though he missed the podium, he did come out ahead of Norway's Birk Ruud, the defending Olympic champion and slopestyle gold medallist from last week, who placed eighth. 

Norway's Tormod Frostad will take home gold with a total score of 195.5 — including an astounding score of 98.5 on his final jump — while American Mac Forehand (great name) earned silver with a score of 193.25 and Austria's Matej Svancer took the bronze. 

Deschamps, 23, has won four medals over the past three World Cup seasons, including a career-best silver this past November in China.

There are handshakes on the ice after Canada's curlers steal one at the end of the ninth and Great Britain concedes the match. That's a 9-5 win for Jacobs, which gives Canada a 6-1 record in the round robin and seals qualification for the final four!

Canada is second in the round-robin standings, behind Switzerland. Italy and Norway are tied at third.

Canada's curlers take a single in the eighth end to extend their lead against Great Britain to 8-5. 

Britain's Mouat has the hammer in the ninth end and is staring at a possible fourth loss at these Olympics.

On another curling note: the Norwegian men's fancy pants are back. They were made famous by skip Thomas Ulsrud and his Norwegian team at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. 

Sadly, Thomas died in 2022. But it's wonderful to see his legacy living on at these Games.

Canada takes THREE in the seventh end! After Jacobs made a great draw on his first, Mouat jammed his last — but Jacobs nailed his last draw to cash in.

The Canadians take a 7-5 lead going into the eighth end.

We're seeing some pretty spectacular curling now between Canada and Great Britain. They are not missing a thing late in the seventh end and it’s brilliant to watch. The Brits still lead 5-4.

In men's curling, Great Britain has now taken the lead against Canada. After a miss by Jacobs, Mouat drew for two to put his team up 5-4 in the sixth end.

On to the seventh end.

Canada's Taylor Austin and Shaquille Murray-Lawrence placed 17th in Heat 3 of two-man bobsleigh, qualifying them for the fourth and final heat that will decide who makes it to the podium. 

Unfortunately, teammates Jay Dearborn and Mike Evelyn O'Higgins came in 23rd and won't advance. 

The fourth heat begins at 3:05 p.m. ET.

While we wait for curling to resume, an update on American skier Lindsey Vonn: she says she's back home a week after being seriously injured in a terrifying head-over-heels crash in the Olympic downhill. 

"My leg is still in pieces … but I'm finally HOME!" Vonn wrote in a post on Instagram today. 

Vonn, 41, crashed 13 seconds into her downhill run on Feb. 8 and was airlifted off the course. She had multiple surgeries in Italy to repair a complex tibia fracture in her left leg. 

Vonn's Instagram post shows the multi-step process it took to get her home, including a video of health-care workers taking her via stretcher from the hospital onto an airplane. 

In the post, the veteran U.S. Skier thanked those medical staff for their help and noted her injury "was a lot more severe than just a broken leg."

"I’m still wrapping my head around it, what it means and the road ahead," she said, adding that she'll be sharing more details in the coming days.
