The Winter Games are gearing up for some action-packed events Tuesday in primetime. Team USA's Lindsey Vonn won bronze in the women's downhill. She won gold in the event in 2010.
Also, the United States will have three competitors going for medals in figure skating. Bradie Tennell competed in the first group, while Mirai Nagasu and Karen Chen will compete in the fourth group.
Monday night saw history being made when Germany and Canada tied for gold in the two-man bobsled race -- one that also saw the closest finish by the top four sleds in any Olympic sliding race, ever.
Scroll below to see the latest updates as they happen. All times are Eastern unless otherwise noted.
11:05 p.m.: Sofia Goggia takes gold in Olympic downhill
Sofia Goggia of Italy has won the women's Olympic downhill, with good friend Lindsey Vonn taking the bronze. Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway was the surprise silver medalist after turning in a sizzling run as the 19th racer on the course. Mowinckel also earned silver in the giant slalom at these Games.
Goggia finished in a time of 1 minute, 39.22 seconds to hold off Mowinckel by 0.09 seconds. Vonn finished 0.47 seconds behind Goggia.
At 33, Vonn becomes the oldest female medalist in Alpine skiing at the Winter Games. The record was held by Austria's Michaela Dorfmeister, who was just shy of her 33rd birthday when she won the downhill and the super-G at the 2006 Turin Olympics. This is likely Vonn's last Olympic downhill race.
9:46 p.m.: Norway edges out Lindsey Vonn to take 2nd place
Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel scored a +0.09 from the leading score of 1:39.22 from Italy (Sofia Goggia).
USA's Lindsey Vonn drops to third place in the downhill (+0.47).
This didn't hold for that long:

USA's Bradie Tennell takes the ice first for her short program, but she did take a tumble after an opening combo (triple lutz / double toe). She scored 64.01 (three points off her personal best).
"It was definitely unexpected," Tennell said of her fall on a triple toe loop, "but things happen. We're all human. We all make mistakes. You just have to get up and keep going."
The Russians also have strong contenders, including two-time reigning world champion Evgenia Medvedeva, who broke her own short program world record in the team event. She has lost to only one skater since 2015 -- her teammate Alina Zagitova. The medals will be awarded Friday.
