US captures record 11th gold medal at the Winter Olympics
LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) --- The U.S. Olympic team won its record-breaking 11th gold
medal of the Winter Games on Saturday when the trio of Kaila Kuhn, Connor
Curran and Chris Lillis took the title in mixed aerials.
The 11th gold breaks a record set at the last Olympics on U.S. soil --- in Salt
Lake City in 2002, which has long stood out as a turning point for a
Winter-sports program that had struggled over previous decades.
The medal lifted the U.S. to 30 overall for the Olympics. That's second to
Norway, which a day earlier won its 17th gold medal to set a Winter Games
record.
There are 38 more medal events this year than there were in 2002.
This marks a repeat for Lillis, who teamed with Ashley Caldwell and Justin
Schoenefeld four years ago to win at the Beijing Games.
