The Slovakia men's ice hockey team knocked out the previously unbeaten United States in the quarterfinals of the medal round at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. However, the Slovaks couldn't keep that momentum going into the semifinals.
Early Friday morning, Slovakia fell 2-0 to Finland, which remains the only unbeaten team at the Winter Games. Although the Slovaks couldn't advance to the gold medal game, they'll have an opportunity to capture their first medal since they began competing as an independent nation at the Olympics in 1994, as they're set to take on Sweden in Saturday's bronze medal game.
