The Latest: Finnish defenseman gets carried off Olympic ice

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

2p.m.

Finland defenseman Ronja Savolainen went face-first into the boards and had to be carried off the ice during the women's hockey semifinal against the United States at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

Savolainen got her legs tangled with American captain Meghan Duggan inside the Finnish zone midway through the first period Monday and went hard into the boards. She crumpled to the ice, while teammates surrounded her and the training staff rushed to her aid.

After a few minutes, two people helped her off, with her arm around their shoulders and her legs dangling between them.
