Curling
Canada won the first Olympic gold medal in curling mixed doubles, defeating Switzerland 10-3. The event made its Olympic debut in Pyeongchang.
Meanwhile, Japanese speedskater Kei Saito has been suspended from the Games after testing positive for a banned substance.
Saito arrived at the athletes village in the host South Korean city last Monday and was tested shortly after taking part in a training session. He was given a provisional suspension by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after testing positive for acetalozamide, a diuretic which can be used to mask performance-enhancing drugs.
Norovirus woes
Separately, norovirus has been an issue at this year's Winter Games, although no athletes are known to have been infected.
South Korean heath authorities on Tuesday said the outbreak that has sickened staff and volunteers was likely caused by contaminated water used to prepare food.
Nearly 200 cases have been confirmed since February 1.
The Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the norovirus is very contagious and can be transmitted from an infected person, contaminated food or water, or by touching contaminated surfaces. The CDC says the virus can lead to stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
