Enter the latest star for the United States. Speed skater Jordan Stolz<\/a>, who picked up his second gold of the Games by winning the men\u2019s 500 meters to go with his gold in the 1,000 meters. Both were set in Olympic record time. The 21-year-old from Wisconsin still has at least two events to go, hoping to up his personal and the U.S. medal count. He\u2019s set to compete in the men\u2019s 1,500 (Thursday), and the men\u2019s mass start (Saturday).<\/p>\n The only other medals the U.S. won on Saturday were in the freestyle skiing women\u2019s dual moguls. An Aussie was the winner, but Jaelin Kauf got the silver and Liz Lemley (not to be confused with 30 Rock\u2019s Liz Lemon) won the B final for the bronze. This was the first appearance of dual moguls in the Olympics.<\/p>\n Catching up on the men\u2019s hockey stage, the Kings suffered a severe blow when forward Kevin Fiala sustained a season-ending injury<\/a> playing for Switzerland on Friday. Fiala had a tough collision with Canada\u2019s Tom Wilson with only a couple of minutes to play in the game. He was stretchered off with a lower leg injury. He had surgery in Italy on Saturday morning and was said to be done for both Olympic and NHL competition the rest of this season.<\/p>\n The Kings are on the cusp of making the playoffs and this, no doubt, will make their road to the postseason that much more difficult. Fiala had 18 goals and 40 points so far this season in 56 games.<\/p>\n NBC should ask Today show personalities Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Dylan Dryer to turn in their journalistic credentials after an embarrassing, saccharine interview with IOC President Kirsty Coventry on the Third Hour of \u201cToday\u201d on Friday. There should have been a warning that watching the interview could cause an immediate increase in blood sugar. The trio, doing the interview from New York, covered such difficult topics of how much fun everyone is having in Italy, how the Olympic spirit is pervasive and, of course, how cuddly the mascots are.<\/p>\n But in no way did they address what would have been the first question any legit journalist would ask, Coventry\u2019s barring of Ukranian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych<\/a> for wanting to honor his fallen Ukranian athletes with stickers on his racing helmet was never mentioned. We\u2019ll give you that Roker and Dryer are meteorologists, but there is no excuse for Melvin\u2019s lack of journalistic chops.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on Saturday<\/p>\n \u2014 Good day for U.S. curlers as the women (2-1 record) beat Japan 7-4, while the men (2-2) beat Germany 8-6. (Valentine\u2019s Day moment at restaurant. My wife: \u201cAre you the only one here straining to see the curling score on TV?\u201d Answer: \u201cYes.\u201d)<\/p>\n \u2014 The U.S. men\u2019s team (2-0) rallied from a 2-1 deficit to beat Denmark 6-3. Germany is next.<\/p>\n \u2014 Brazil topped three Swiss skiers, who finished second through fourth, to win the men\u2019s giant slalom. River Radamus of the U.S. was 17th.<\/p>\n \u2014 Norway, on its way to its 10th gold medal, won the women\u2019s 4×7.5 km cross country relay, upsetting Sweden. The U.S. managed a fifth-place finish.<\/p>\n \u2014 Austria upset Germany, which finished second and third, in the women\u2019s skeleton. Kelly Curtis of the U.S. was 12th.<\/p>\n \u2014- Slovenia picked up its first gold of the Games in the men\u2019s ski jumping, large hill. Tate Frantz of the U.S. was 19th.<\/p>\n \u2014 Norway \u2014 who else? \u2014 won the women\u2019s 7.5 km sprint in the biathlon. France got silver and bronze. Deedra Irwin was the top U.S. competitor in 47th.<\/p>\n Best Thing to Watch on TV today<\/p>\n We went off the board yesterday and picked the men\u2019s 500 in speed skating as our best bet. Turned out a wise choice. Today, let\u2019s make another swerve and look to the mixed team snowboard cross, in which the U.S. is the defending gold champion. You\u2019ve got returnee Nick Baumgartner, 44, with new partner Faye Thelen. He won gold in Beijing with Lindsey Jacobellis, who is taking a break this year. The qualification starts at 4:45 a.m. PST, with the finals at 5:35 a.m. PST. After a day off, the figure skating gets back on the ice with the pairs short program. The U.S. team of Ellie Kim and Danny O\u2019Shea is going 14th of 19th pairs with a 10:15 a.m. PST start for competition. The U.S. men\u2019s hockey team (2-0) plays Germany at 12:10 p.m. PST.<\/p>\n Favorite photo of the day The Netherlands\u2019 speedskater Jenning de Boo clutches his head after losing to American Jordan Stolz in the 500 final in Milan on Saturday.<\/p>\n (Robert Gauthier \/ Los Angeles Times)<\/p>\n Times photographer Robert Gauthier is at the Winter Olympics.
