The Olympic Athletes from Russia needed overtime to do it, but they secured the men's ice hockey gold medal with a 4-3 victory over upstart Germany in the championship game in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Saturday night (American time).
That game was the penultimate medal event in the 2018 Winter Olympics, with the last being won by Marit Bjoergen of Norway in the women's 30-kilometer cross-country ski event.
Norway was the leader in medals won in the Olympics, and while medal count is not supposed to be the main focus of the Olympics, NBC included it in all of its prime-time broadcasts throughout the games, and it is always a point of interest in both the Winter and Summer Olympics.
