MILAN — Brock Nelson has quite the international tradition to uphold. He is the fifth member of his family to play hockey for the U.S. at the Olympics. Great uncle Gord Christian went in 1956, grandfather Bill and brother Roger won gold in 1960, and uncle Dave Christian was part of the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980.
Day 6 of the 2026 Milan Cortina Games featured nine medal events, but Team USA's Chloe Kim was denied a third straight gold. Kim finished with a silver as she came up just short of another Olympic victory in the halfpipe final.
