For me, it was Alysa Liu's short program. It scored only 3rd but was the prettiest song/skate combination of the event, made even better coming after a segment in which she stated that she didn't really care about winning. And then she won.

Both men’s and women’s GM hockey games were exceptional to watch - bonus that the US won both.

Well yeah, but besides that.

I guess I should have put that in the OP.

ETA: done

Definitely. As you mentioned number one was the women beating Canada in hockey and our men beating Canada in hockey. Obviously number one choices, but besides that I really enjoyed several moments. But I guess my next favorite moment was Alana Myers Taylor winning the mono bobsled and getting her gold. I mean what an accomplishment with two children staying right there with support from her husband and getting the gold. That was probably my next favorite moment, although others were close to that

Aside from that Kazakhstan panda freak, the Gala was cool. The team figure skating for the US was good as well. It was fun watching Alyssa Liu go in and skate her own way.

Frankly everything was overshadowed the second the NHL players got off the plane. The woman's team was rolling and the men came in on fire. There's five videos that were next level; Kash celebrating with the team, Trump's call to the locker room, Jack Hughes being carried around the athletes village, the boys singing Toby Keith, and of course bringing Gaudreau's kids onto the ice for the team picture.

The team did so much good for our country yet nearly all blue city papers have ignored it on their front pages. Not even 24 hours and that feeling of "one" was squashed by our useless media.

I'm a freak for downhill skiing, it's edge of the seat exciting,

so, I'll go with Breezy Johnson's gold in the downhill on a slope where she was previously injured, after a 30 minute delay listening to lindsey vonn screaming and getting airlifted off the mountain then stepping in the gate and sending it

Hard to disagree. Alysa has such a unique presence on the ice. Definitely one of the most memorable routines from these Games so far.

Photos like Bucky's save against Toews are one of the reasons I think hockey is the most beautiful game on earth.

That photo, with a Bucky signature on it, needs to be hanging from my office wall, right next to my Eruzione autographed Puck.

I believe it was during one of the final biathlon events. The american and two other skiiers were finishing as three of the final finishers in the event and they stopped at the beginning of the final stretch and then raced each other to the finish.

They figured out a way to complete all the way to the line, even in defeat.
