Italy's Davide Ghiotto, Andrea Giovannini, and Michele Malfatti capture the men's team pursuit gold medal in speedskating at the Milan Cortina Olympics, defeating U.S. world record-holders Casey Dawson, Emery Lehman, and Ethan Cepuran by 4.5 seconds. The Italians finish in 3:39.20, marking their first Olympic title in this event since 2006. The home crowd roars as Italy surges ahead in the final laps. The Americans, who led early on, struggle to maintain their advantage. Despite their bronze at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and a strong focus on teamwork, they fall short. China's Liu Hanbin, Wu Yu, and Li Wenhao take bronze, narrowly edging the Netherlands by just 0.09 seconds. In women's events, 2022 champion Canada goes for gold against the Netherlands, while the U.S. faces Japan for bronze. Team pursuit racing continues to electrify the Olympics.
