Long-time NBC Olympic host Bob Costas might be on the bench, but athletes at the 2014 Sochi Olympics are still raring and ready to go.


Olympians fought for the gold in a number of sports Tuesday, including women's ski jumping, which finally made its inaugural Olympic appearance, figure skating, men's snowboarding and biathlon.


German Carina Vogt, who won the gold medal in women's ski jumping, told the Associate Press: "I cannot find the right words ... It’s amazing. I’m the first woman Olympic champion in ski jumping.”

Notable moments included an unexpected snowboarding upset when dominant American Shaun White failed to medal on the halfpipe due to a disastrous first run, Norway's tight gold medal finish in men's cross country and a fight to the top in pairs figure skating that resulted in a Russian win.
