The 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics are in full swing, and Friday will be another massive day in Italy:
Beating Switzerland in consecutive matches proved too difficult for Team USA on Friday. A day after defeating Switzerland to advance to the semifinals, Team USA lost 7-4 to the Swiss team Friday.
Switzerland played a strong defensive game, limiting Team USA to just one point in the ends in which they scored. Switzerland also controlled the hammer, forcing multiple scoreless ends to keep the final stone.
While the U.S. tried to make it tough in the 10th end, Switzerland executed on its hammer throw, picking up two points to seal the victory.
With the loss, Team USA will play for the bronze medal Saturday.
Both the United States and Canada are one win away from the matchup ice hockey fans have been anticipating since the Winter Olympics began. Canada plays Finland in the first semifinal at 10:40 a.m. ET and the U.S. takes the ice versus Slovakia in the late game.
