Olympics 2022 live updates: US figure skater tests positive for COVID-19 after team wins silver

Team USA earned its first figure skating medal of the 2022 Beijing Olympics thanks to a clutch performance from its ice dancers.

The U.S. took home the silver in the team figure skating competition after Madison Chock and Evan Bates turned in a season-best score in the ice dancing free program.

The news was not so good for skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin.The defending Olympic champion will not repeat in the women's giant slalom.

Shiffrin's first of five potential events in Beijing ended in disappointment Monday when she wiped out on her opening run.
