It’s Day 8 of the Milan Cortina Games, and we’re running out of ice puns Team USA’s medal count continues to climb.

The U.S.—currently tied with Norway for second—has scooped up more medals in skiing and skating. Yesterday, Chloe Kim secured Team USA’s first snowboarding medal, taking silver and narrowly missing a golden three-peat in women’s halfpipe.

Breezy Johnson crashed in Wednesday’s women’s super-G final—one of 17 skiers who DNFed—but still got some hardware when her boyfriend proposed at the finish line (see the happy tears). Then yesterday, 54-year-old curler Rich Ruohonen became the oldest competing American Olympian.

Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee barred a Ukrainian skeleton athlete from racing for continuing to wear a helmet honoring Ukrainians killed in the Russia-Ukraine war; the group said it violated rules against political statements during competition.

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
God has given His people bodies that can do some amazing things, but even world-class athletes can’t compare to the eternal, imperishable bodies we’ll have one day. Worship God in the body He has given you today—whether it’s in top shape or in need of repair—knowing we’ll one day worship Him in a perfect one.

“When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”
