The USA will be bringing home a bronze in women’s hockey. It’s not the gold, but, as someone wrote in a comment on this blog— it’s no piece of lettuce. Contratulations, USA! The US women’s team defeated Finland 4-0 today in the bronze medal match.
And in an update: Canada (of course) took the gold, and Sweden took the silver.

Can someone tell me how the medals are scored as points. Is it like 10 for gold 5 for silver 2 for bronze. Please post the proper values here
I don’t know if this is how it’s done officially, but I would imagine it would be: http://www.darmoni.net/

Perfect. Thank you Jill
