Olympic 2018 Results: Medal Winners, Scores from Saturday's Early Events

The United States' unlikeliest triumph at the 2018 Winter Olympics came Saturday morning, as the men's curling team captured the nation's ninth gold in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The Americans knocked off Sweden to win their first Olympic title in a sport dominated by Canada and the northern European nations.

In the other medal events, the Americans weren't as successful as they failed to capture medals in either speedskating mass start despite being favored to finish in the top three.

The South Korean fans had plenty to cheer about Saturday, as the host nation picked up a pair of medals in speedskating after taking home silver in the men's parallel giant slalom in snowboarding.
