American Shaun White's quest for a third gold medal in the men's snowboard halfpipe ended Tuesday after a first run that was far from stellar, but other Olympians were still fighting for the top spot on the podium Wednesday at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Athletes competed in everything from alpine skiing, which resulted in an historic tie between Slovenia's Tin Maze and Dominique Gisin of Switzerland, to curling and luge.
"I'm sure glad I'm going to share this gold with Tina," Gisin told the Associated Press. "She's such a great woman and one of the greatest athletes of our sport."

The fifth day of the winter games also included a gold medal win for the Netherlands' speed skater Stefan Groothuis, a victory for the Finnish women's hockey team against Switzerland and another gold medal in luge for Germany, this time for the men's doubles event.
