who won the women's hockey olympics 2014
Ice hockey at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Women's tournament For the first time, the women's gold medal game was decided in overtime, with Canada defeating the United States 3–2. Switzerland defeated Sweden for their first Olympic ice hockey medal in 66 years, and first ever medal in the women's tournament. With the win, the Canadian women's national ice hockey team won its fourth consecutive gold medal, a feat only previously accomplished by the Soviet Union men's team in 1964–76, and the Canadian men's team in 1920–32.
United States at the 2014 Winter Olympics After winning an Olympic record 37 medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the United States had a somewhat disappointing performance during these games. Although the delegation ranked second in overall medals with 28, it ranked out of the top three in gold medals (with a total of nine) for the first time since Nagano in 1998 when it placed 6th in overall medals and 5th in gold medals.[5] In long track speedskating, the U.S. matched its medal-less results from 1984 and 1956.[6] In figure skating, the U.S. won no medals in the men's or women's singles events for the first time since 1936.[7]
