Sochi may be so warm right now that some athletes are competing in shorts, but that didn't stop world-class competitors from fighting their way to the top of the Olympic podium.


The American men's ice hockey team narrowly beat its long-time Russian rivals 3-2 Saturday in a shootout during the preliminary round of the men's ice hockey Group A game. Olympians also competed in curling, ski jumping and speed skating, among other events on day eight of the Sochi games.
