American women tennis star Sloane Stephens and her husband Jozy Altidore are splitting after four years of marriage, according to Stephens.

The 2017 U.S. Open Champion and the former soccer player have decided to go their separate ways, according to an Instagram story Stephens shared to her followers.

‘Jozy and I have decided to end our marriage,’ the post read on Saturday. ‘With peace, I am navigating this transition with mutual respect and kindly ask for privacy during this time.’

The couple has known each other since they were in middle school and got engaged in April 2019. The two would marry three years later at the oceanfront St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort in Miami Beach on Jan. 1 in 2022, People Magazine reported.

Who is Sloane Stephens?

Stephens, 32, is a professional tennis player who grew up between Florida and California. She was born in Florida, but got her introduction to tennis when living in Fresno, California.

Stephens turned pro at 16 in 2009. She’s won eight career WTA titles, including her 2017 U.S. Open championship. Her most recent performance was a first-round loss at the Australian Open in January to Karolína Plíšková.

She boasts a 380–284 in singles, and a 58–81 record in doubles, where she’s won a title at the 2024 Charleston Open with partner Ashlyn Krueger.

Who is Jozy Altidore?

Altidore, 36, is a former professional soccer player who played from 2006 to 2022. He was born in New Jersey but was predominantly raised in Boca Raton, Florida, where he met Stephens.

He was drafted to the Metro Stars, now New York Red Bulls, with the 17th overall pick in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft.

Altidore has also suited up for a plethora of teams, including Villarreal CF of La Liga, Sunderland A.F.C of the Premier League, and Toronto FC and New England Revolution of the MLS.

He also has 115 caps with the U.S. men’s national team.

MILAN — Figure skating came to an end at the 2026 Winter Olympics with a spectacular show of glitz, flips, twirls and talent at the figuring skating exhibition gala. The sport’s medal winners and top stars came together to have fun on the ice and put on a show for a packed crowd at Milano Ice Skating Arena.

That included all of Team USA skating together as gold medal winners. Individually, Amber Glenn broke out her Madonna program, Ilia Malinin did four back flips, Madison Chock and Evan Bates skated gracefully with a white sheet, and Alysa Liu’s joy spilled over once again. Oh, and one gold medal winner turned into a Kung Fu panda. What?!

The skaters’ performances combined with ‘modern and interactive content, through the use of projections, LED screens and lighting design,’ according to the Milano Cortina Games show summary.

A replay of the exhibition gala can be viewed on NBC and Peacock. See below for live updates from USA TODAY Sports.

Meet Team USA 2026: Get to know the athletes behind the games

Figure skating exhibition gala pictures

Alysa Liu brings joy once more to Olympic Games

Alysa Liu could barely keep her eyes open the day after she won the Olympic gold medal in figure skating singles.

Well, she was wide awake at the gala. And no one dared nap as she took the ice in a blue dress.

There was only one triple, but she exhibited grace and some showmanship as she skated to Stateside (with Zara Larsson) by PinkPantheress.

She had talked with excitement about performing at the gala. Her performance wasn’t as electric as Ilia Malinin’s, but she gave the crowd something to think about before the 2030.

Will Liu be back on the Olympic stage?

Will she defend her gold?

It’s probably too soon to know as she took her final spins on Milan ice.

Gold medal winner turned Kung Fu panda

Ilia Malinin sends message with gala performance

Ilia Malinin took to the ice to the sound of phone notifications ringing and cameras snapping.

Then, silence.

Malinin, in his first solo skating appearance since his fall from first to eighth in the men’s free skate, delivered an eclectic and haunting performance at the gala that invited his demons directly onto the ice but, this time, had no “Fear.”

Skating to the NF song, Malinin in a gray sweatshirt and black jeans, acted as if he were being pulled as the lines “like a puppet with strings, I just don’t have a choice” rang out in the arena.

“Is this what you wanted?” the song ended.

The crowd stood in support as Malinin waved on.

Madison Chock and Evan Bates skate with grace, sheet

Husband-and-wife team Madison Chock and Evan Bates brought intimacy to the ice as they skated to “Once I Was Loved’ by Melody Gardot.

They made creative use of a white sheet that kept them bound, with Chock getting wrapped and unwrapped as Bates held the other end of the prop.

Was this their Olympic swan song? Hard to know considering Chock is 33 and Bates is 36. But the The American duo, silver medalists at the 2026 Winter Olympics, performed with a delicate artistry as they head out of Milan.

Team USA brings energy to performance

Ilia Malinin, with his gold medal winning team skating alongside him, cycled through his signature moves: A quad, then a backflip, before ending with a raspberry twist.

Queue ‘Free Bird.” And, while we’re at it, let’s ‘Feel This Moment” with ‘We Will Rock You.”

The seven Team USA skaters took to the ice in celebratory synchrony, with their hair down and to a high energy musical montage.

‘American Woman,” or women, Amber Glenn and Alysa Liu also danced together to Beyoncé’s ‘Diva.”

Malinin stuck around into the next performance so that Estonian figure skater Niina Petrõkina, skating to the musical Chicago’s ‘Cell Block Tango,” could take him out with a finger gun.

Jackie Chan with pandas at gala

Legendary actor and martial artist Jackie Chan, holding two panda stuffed animals, congratulated the athletes performing at the exhibition gala.

“I’m so honored to be here,” he said before wishing the crowd “health,” happiness and wishing the world “love and peace’ for the Chinese New Year.

Amber Glenn exhibition gala performance

Glenn came out in a sparkly black costume to skate to ‘That’s Life by Lady Gala. She skated with freedom and joy, hair down, and jumps landed to the applause of the crowd. This could be Glenn’s final performance on an Olympic stage. At 26, she was the oldest U.S. women’s skater to qualify for the Olympic team since 1928.

What is the exhibition gala?

It’s a grand finale show for fans to see figure skating’s biggest stars once more on ice. This year, the Milano Cortina organizers say it’s a ‘tribute to athletes and their stories — stories of passion, sacrifice, and above all, courage. The courage to embrace their own talent, to never give up, to turn that challenge into their life’s purpose.’

‘But it’s also an encouragement — for the fans who will follow the Games — to never stop fighting for their dreams, whatever they may be,’ the Games’ show summary reads.

The description is fitting given the athletes’ personal stories, struggles and mental health took center stage, along with their talent. Ilia Malinin spoke about his ‘invisible struggles’ after falling during the men’s free skate to place eighth. Amber Glenn similarly spoke about the criticism she’s faced for sharing her support of the LGBTQ community, and battling through a disappointing short program. And Alysa Liu won an Olympic gold medal after quitting the sport altogether two years ago.

Full list of skaters, start times and music for exhibition gala

Th program is broken into four parts with an intermission after the first two. Here are the start times and music for all of Team USA’s skaters:

• Amber Glenn: 8:32 p.m., ‘That’s Life’ by Lady Gaga

Main elements of the show

The show is composed of the following main elements, according to the summary:

• An opening number featuring a protagonist: Carolina Kostner, anItalian legend of figure skating. She will perform a duet with a 3D projection, in a piecethat blends elegance, creativity, and modernity.
• The performances of the single athletes participating in this edition ofthe Winter Olympic Games. The athletes will be divided into four groups, eachpresenting a thematic segment inspired by the opening act.
• A collective performance by the hosting team (Team Italy) and the winning team(Team USA).
• The traditional Grand Finale, where all athletes return to the ice for a groupchoreography and the final greetings.

Who is Carolina Kostner?

Kostner is an Italian figure skating legend. She is responsible for many first for Italy and was the 2014 Olympic bronze medalist. She also was the 2012 world champion and medaled at five other World Championships. She’s a five-time European champion and has won 11 total medals there, the most decorated skater in history for that competition. She’s also a nine-time Italian national champion and a 2003 World Junior bronze medalist.

The four acts of the figure skating exhibition gala

Each skater was assigned to one of four acts in the competition. Gold-medal winners are in the final act to follow tradition. Here are the names of each act:

• ACT 1: A dreamlike journey
• ACT 2: Everything is new. Everything glows.
• Special performance: Hosting Team
• Intermission
• Special performance: Winning Team
• ACT 3: This is the challenge
• ACT 4: Becoming one

Explaining the opening number of the Olympic figure skating gala

According to the show summary, the performance is a story, ‘a metaphor for the relationship between an athlete and his/her talent — the two main characters of the performance’

During the opening number, the athlete is represented by Italian skater Carolina Kostner. The talent is represented through light projections, which ‘creates an abstract character that interacts with the athlete.’

There are then four, one-minute segments. Between each segment, colors change, the projections representing the talent evoles in shape, texture and rhythm, the original music and the lighting changes. Before the final segment, Kostner’s costume will change as well.

Here are descriptions of each segment provided by the Milano Cortina organizers:

• Segment 1 – A dreamlike journey: A girl steps onto the ice for the first time: she explores it like a blank page, through falls and discoveries, until a mysterious line (the visual representation of talent) appears before her. It’s the beginning of a silent game, filled with curiosity, movement, and a growing connection.This phase represents the beginning of the athlete’s journey: the discovery of a world and its elements.
• Segment 2 – Everything is new. Everything glows: The skater and the line chase each other, then begin to play and dance together. From this encounter, a deep harmony emerges: talent takes on a clearer shape, like something that had always existed and is only now being recognized. This phase represents the moment when the athlete starts to feel confident with the discipline, experiments, and has fun.
• Segment 3 – This is the challenge: When that passion turns into a profession, it stops being just a game. It becomes effort, sacrifice, discipline. Talent turns oppressive. But it’s through struggle that strength is born.They’re no longer just dancing together — they’re growing together. This phase represents the moment when things get serious: the athlete has everything it takes to compete at the highest level, and so sacrifices, challenges, and hard work arise—efforts that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
• Segment 4 – Becoming one: When we stop fighting against our talent and instead embrace it, following our destiny, the struggle fades away. Every gesture becomes natural, every movement comes from within. And when talent finds its home, merging with the skater, it ceases to have a life of its own — becoming the luminous trail behind her, as she shines with a new light. The final phase represents the moment when the athlete manages to find balance with their talent: they surrender to it, become one with it, and draw the very best from it.

Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Shaidorov won a gold medal in men’s figure skating. But somehow, that might not be his biggest highlight from Milano Cortina.

In the exhibition gala on Saturday, Shaidorov went all out in his homage to the 2008 movie ‘Kung Fu Panda’ — taking to the ice in a full-body panda suit. The 21-year-old bowed to the audience, ran and spun in the air as the opening notes to the song, ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ began to play.

Fully committing to the martial arts bit, Shaidorov dueled with Deadpool and Sub Zero, initially fighting them off before they came back to beat him up.

As he laid on the ground, Tenacious D’s cover of the Britney Spears hit, ‘…Baby One More Time’ started to play. Shaidorov took off his robe, rose back up to his feet and continued his routine. He finished off with a triple, a pirouette, a cartwheel and a leg kick before collapsing to the ground to a standing ovation.

‘This was super silly,’ one of the commentators on the Peacock broadcast said. ‘But lots and lots of fun.’

Look: Mikhail Shaidorov performs in panda outfit

Vonn did not provide any new medical updates in her Instagram post on Saturday, Feb. 21. She said in a post a day earlier that she was “struggling a bit post op” from her latest surgery, her fifth, to repair the complex tibial fracture in her left leg suffered in a crash during the Olympic downhill.

But Vonn said in her latest post that she’s grateful for what she accomplished.

“It wasn’t all for nothing. It wasn’t a dream,” Vonn wrote. “Although sitting in this hospital bed, it seems far away now… “But I did it. I came back. I won. I showed up and did what most thought was impossible at my age with a partial knee replacement. These memories I’ll have forever and I’m grateful for every one of them. Every moment was amazing. Every moment was worth it.”

Vonn also hit back at those who said she should have given up her spot after tearing the ACL in her left knee in another crash Jan. 30, saying the criticism “stung.” She then recapped her season results, which included two World Cup wins and a podium finish in all but one race.

“It’s not impossible until it’s done,” she wrote. “I didn’t reach my ultimate goal. But I still did a lot.”

Opinion: Lindsey Vonn’s crash was cruel. Her bravery epitomizes Olympic spirit

What happened to Lindsey Vonn?

Vonn hooked the fourth gate with her right arm, which sent her spinning and hurtling into the hard, packed snow. She tumbled end over end several times before coming to a stop.

‘Things just happen so quick in this sport,’ U.S. teammate Bella Wright said after the race. ‘It looked like Lindsey had incredible speed out of that turn, and she hooked her arm and it’s just over just like that.’

The three-time Olympic medalist remained prone in the snow, and she could be heard wailing in pain. The gasps and groans from fans faded into shocked silenceas medics worked on her. Vonn remained on the course for approximately 13 minutes before being loaded into a helicopter.

What is Lindsey Vonn’s injury?

In an Instagram post on Feb. 9, Vonn shared the devastating news that she suffered a complex tibia fracture that will require multiple surgeries. The 41-year-old updated fans on Feb. 11 after a third surgery in Italy and included some gruesome photos of her progress. Upon returning to the United States on Feb. 17, Vonn shared that her injury was ‘a lot more severe than just a broken leg’.

‘I’m still wrapping my head around it, what it means and the road ahead.’ Vonn wrote. ‘But I’m going to give you more detail in the coming days.”

A tibia fracture is a break in the shin bone that is an emergency needing immediate treatment. ‘Your tibias are some of the strongest bones in your body. It usually takes a lot of force to break one,’ according to the Cleveland Clinic. ‘You probably won’t be able to stand, walk or put weight on your leg if you have a broken shin bone.’

A complex fracture involves multiple breaks in a bone and damaged soft tissue, according to Yale Medicine. Symptoms include extreme pain, numbness and, sometimes, a bone that protrudes through the skin. Treatment involves stabilization and surgery.

Lindsey Vonn crash video

NBC broadcasts the Olympics and postedvideo of Vonn’s crash.

USA TODAY Sports’ Samantha Cardona-Norberg breaks down Lindsey Vonn’s crash just after it happened.

Fans went silent as soon as Vonn crashed, reacting with shock, grief and later support as the helicopter lifted her into the sky. USA TODAY Sports spoke with some fans after the crash .

Is Lindsey Vonn OK?

Vonn was in obvious pain after the crash, but she was moving her arms, head and neck.

About 18 minutes after the crash, the helicopter slowly began flying toward Cortina. ‘Let’s let Lindsey Vonn hear us!’ the American announcer said as the chopper flew away with her, and the crowd cheered and applauded.

Vonn’s sister Karin Kildow was at the course today for the downhill and spoke to NBC reporters during their live broadcast:

‘I mean that definitely was the last thing we wanted to see and it happened quick and when that happens, you’re just immediately hoping she’s okay. And it was scary because when you start to see the stretchers being put out, it’s not a good sign,’ Kildow said. ‘But she really … She just dared greatly and she put it all out there. So it’s really hard to see, but we just really hope she’s okay.

‘She does have all of her surgeons and her PT staff here and her doctors, so I’m sure they’ll give us a report and we’ll meet her at whatever hospital she’s at.’

Lindsey Vonn torn ACL

It was the second time in as many weeks that Vonn left a mountaintop on a chopper. She fully ruptured her left ACL, sustaining meniscus damage and bone bruising, in a downhill crash on Jan. 30, in the final World Cup event prior to the start of the Olympics.

Vonn was also skiing with a partial replacement of her right knee. She had dominated the sport before the crash, making the podium in all five downhill races this season and winning two of them.

Despite the latest injury, Vonn was determined to race at her fifth and final Olympics. She said her knee felt stable and strong, and she hadspent the last week doing intense rehab, pool workouts, weight lifting and plyometrics. She skied both training runs, posting the third-fastest time in the second run before it was canceled because of fog and snow.

Vonn is 41 and was skiing in her fifth Winter Olympics (2002, 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026). She has won three Olympic medals (1 gold, 2 bronze).

This is a critical fight for Ryan Garcia, coming off a disappointing loss to Rolly Romero in May and a victory over Devin Haney in 2024 that was tainted by a positive drug test. Now he looks to Mario Barrios to continue his return to form and claim the WBC welterweight title.

Garcia comes into Saturday’s fight with a 24-2-0 record, having lost to Rolando Romero last May by unanimous decision and to Gervonta Davis in 2023 by knockout.

Mario Barrios comes into his fight with Garcia holding a 29-2-2 record. His most recent loss took place back in Feb. 2022 in a unanimous decision to Keith Thurman.

Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios predictions

USA TODAY: Garcia by KO

Josh Peter writes: ‘This is a critical fight for Ryan Garcia, coming off a disappointing loss to Rolly Romero in May and a victory over Devin Haney in 2024 that was tainted by a positive drug to test. Generally speaking, it’s wise to disregard training camp footage as a sign of a fighter’s preparedness. (Case in point: Mike Tyson’s convincing video clips released before the Jake Paul fight.) But Garcia has looked strong and fast, and Mario Barrios, well, he barely held off a 46-year-old Manny Pacquaio in July. Granted, Pacquiao’s fighting style remains confounding. But the 27-year-old Garcia is stronger and more dangerous than Pacquiao. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Garcia get knocked down. But will be shocked if he’s not the last man standing. Prediction: Garcia by KO, Round 9.’

ESPN: Garcia wins

Teddy Atlas for ESPN writes, ‘I think Garcia wins. If he shows up as a mess mentally, then Barrios could be more consistent, more deliberate, more dependable. And that could be enough. His experience and his dependability, his heart, maybe that’s enough to get him across the finish line. But I think that if Garcia is halfway together or a little more than halfway together mentally, I think he wins. I think Garcia has got a chance to hurt Barrios.’

Sporting News: Garcia via unanimous decision

Daniel Yanofsky writes, ‘There is one thing to wonder: Which Garcia will show up? Barrios can give Garcia some issues early on if the latter isn’t 100% physically and mentally. Providing pressure will be key for Barrios. One has to think Garcia, who hasn’t officially won a fight since 2023, understands the stakes here. Garcia should go for the knockout, but the bout going the distance might make sense.’

The NFL’s great annual migration is about to begin, free agency set to reshape rosters – and competitive balance, to some degree – throughout the league.

The market will officially open at 4 p.m. ET on March 11, the start of the 2026 league year. But the list of free agents is sure to evolve significantly and virtually continuously before that grand opening.

The window for teams to utilize franchise or transition tags – mechanisms designed to restrict a free agent’s movement – will be open until 4 p.m. ET on March 3. As the Miami Dolphins have already notably started to do, many clubs will also have to shed copious salary in the coming weeks in order to comply with the 2026 salary cap and/or create sufficient room under it in order to become buyers in the talent acquisition business. Other players, like Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, have contractual clauses likely to trigger their releases even if they’re not actually free agents yet. At noon ET on March 9, pending free agents can begin negotiating new pacts with teams other than their own and agreeing to deals.

Suffice it to say USA TODAY Sports’ list of top 100 NFL free agents in 2026 – and we’ve put a little extra emphasis on the top 26 players in what is (currently) a somewhat uninspiring group overall – will continue to develop and change as news warrants (^denotes a franchise tag, though currently none have been assigned; *denotes a player whose contract was terminated, making him eligible to sign with a new team immediately):

1. WR George Pickens

Will he play for the Dallas Cowboys in 2026? Will he sit out for the Dallas Cowboys in 2026? Will he be franchised – but maybe traded anyway? You never know what Jerry Jones, owner of “America’s Team” will do, but he’s got a big decision ahead on Pickens, just as he did last year with former Dallas DE Micah Parsons. Pickens is coming off a career year (93 catches for 1,429 yards and 9 TDs, all personal bests) and turns 25 next month − compelling reasons for Dallas to tag him regardless of Jones’ ultimate objective (Pickens and CeeDee Lamb would form an awesome but expensive wideout duo). Obviously a good fit in the Cowboys offense last season, Pickens isn’t for everyone − and might still have to prove he’s a clear-cut No. 1 wideout. But his 2025 effort strongly suggested his production and potential are quickly coming into alignment.

Best fits: Cowboys, Patriots, Titans

2. C Tyler Linderbaum

Full transparency, he was ranked third in this list’s first iteration – but his age and ability may render him the richest man to emerge from this year’s free agency cycle. You’d think the Baltimore Ravens would find a way to retain a 25-year-old three-time Pro Bowler. They may have to address QB Lamar Jackson’s contract first − he currently carries a cap charge of $74.5 million in 2026 and ’27 − which means a franchise tag could be a strong possibility if the Ravens are to keep Linderbaum off the market before granting him an extension. However the tag’s value is based on the top contracts of all O-linemen, which would mean paying Linderbaum at a left tackle level – basically the same reason Baltimore declined the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. If he goes free, an immediate (and likely frenzied) bidding war will doubtless commence.

Best fits: Ravens, Chargers, Giants

3. DE/OLB Trey Hendrickson

After registering 35 sacks between the 2023 and ’24 seasons, including a league-leading 17½ in the latter campaign, the 31-year-old was limited to seven games by injuries last year − that in the wake of a contentious offseason with the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s worth wondering now if Cincy simply lets Hendrickson walk or tries a tag-and-trade gambit, but a fresh start seems like the best outcome. Regardless, his services should be in high demand.

Best fits: Patriots, Colts, Eagles

4. OLB/DE Jaelan Phillips

It’s hard to come by untethered edge defenders theoretically entering their prime. But Phillips, 26, could be one of the belles of the FA ball after being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles at last year’s trade deadline. He finished the season with five sacks and 63 quarterback pressures, per Next Gen Stats. More importantly, he appeared in 17 regular-season games for the first time since 2022 after injuries ruined his following two seasons. Strong against the pass and run, the 6-5, 266-pounder should find a very robust market … presuming he gets there.

Best fits: Patriots, Eagles, Ravens

5. QB Daniel Jones

A torn Achilles last December cut short what had been his best season statistically (238.5 passing yards per game, 100.2 QB rating) to that point. The QB trend du jour that may be forming in the NFL could be finding a reclamation project who won’t necessarily eat up a massive chunk of the salary cap − and Jones, 28, can thank Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield for their ongoing heroics. Hard to believe the Indianapolis Colts will allow Jones to gauge his worth with the rest of the league, though … especially when his previous team, the Minnesota Vikings, could suddenly become very interested in swooping in if he’s not secured soon.

Best fits: Colts, Vikings

6. OLB/DE Odafe Oweh

He has 17½ sacks and 98 pressures as a part-time starter over the past two seasons, which were split between the Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers. Heady numbers for a 27-year-old who should be ready for a bigger role … and certainly a larger paycheck.

Best fits: Titans, Chargers, Patriots

7. QB Malik Willis

He could be this year’s version of Justin Fields − a quarterback with intriguing skills but limited experience who can nevertheless capitalize financially given the high demand but low supply at his incomparably critical position. Willis, 26, has far fewer NFL reps than Fields but really impressed while filling in as a spot starter for the Green Bay Packers the past two seasons, completing nearly 80% of his passes while throwing six TDs and zero INTs. In addition to a 134.6 passer rating, Willis can also move like a tank. Keep an eye on the Dolphins, who just plucked their new GM (Jon-Eric Sullivan) and coach (Jeff Hafley) from the Pack, as a potential buyer.

Best fits: Dolphins, Cardinals

8. TE Kyle Pitts

The No. 4 overall pick in 2021 − the highest-drafted tight end ever − Pitts, 25, never seemed to fully reach his potential with the Atlanta Falcons, which isn’t completely an indictment of him. But he was a second-team All-Pro in 2025 and did just put together his best season since he was a rookie, catching a career-high 88 passes and five TDs. Pitts could really take off in an offense that truly leverages his estimable abilities … and maybe even has the foresight to feature him in the red zone.

Best fits: Falcons, Buccaneers, Commanders

9. WR/KR Rashid Shaheed

The big-play ability he flashed for years with the New Orleans Saints translated beautifully − and crucially − when the Seattle Seahawks obtained him last November. Shaheed, 27, seemed like the final piece for to the ‘Hawks’ championship puzzle and delivered huge catches and returns in pivotal games down the stretch and in the postseason. However it should be captivating to see what Shaheed can fetch given he’s never been a No. 1 receiver nor has averaged 600 receiving yards during his four-year career. Still, his return ability − at a time when the kickoff is becoming an increasingly important component of the game − could really drive up his price tag.

Best fits: Seahawks, Raiders, Broncos

10. RB Breece Hall

Though the New York Jets seemingly purged much of their talent at last year’s trade deadline, they hung on to their 24-year-old back. And why not? Hall has averaged 1,260 yards from scrimmage and nearly seven TDs during his four seasons − and for a pop-gun offense. Explosive and an excellent receiver, Hall is the best runner on the market … if he actually reaches it.

Best fits: Jets, Chiefs, Seahawks

11. WR Alec Pierce

Similar to Shaheed, he could be an elite No. 2 receiver in the right system. Unlike Shaheed, he doesn’t bring any special teams value. However Pierce, 25, has led the league in yards per reception each of the past two seasons (21.8 ypc over the duration) and is coming off a breakout year with 47 grabs for 1,003 yards. He should get paid nicely in what’s a fairly thin crop of free agents.

Best fits: Colts, Broncos, Titans

12. S Coby Bryant

After struggling as a corner earlier in his Seattle career, he’s flourished as a safety the past two seasons − and the 26-year-old should get a nice bump given the league’s other teams always look to raid the most recent Super Bowl champions.

Best fits: Seahawks, Chargers, Ravens

13. CB Jaylen Watson

He’s big (6-2, 197), young (27), still experienced (29 starts) and playoff tested. Watson is coming off his best season but is probably a luxury for the capped-out Kansas City Chiefs.

Best fits: Chiefs, Jets, Seahawks

14. LB Devin Lloyd

A first-rounder of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022, he blossomed into a Pro Bowler last season as the team blossomed around him. If the Jags don’t pony up to keep their 27-year-old defensive quarterback, someone will.

Best fits: Jaguars, Commanders, Jets

15. S Bryan Cook

He’s emerged as a key component of Steve Spagnuolo’s K.C. D in recent years. A steady, reliable player, Cook, 26, should be a stabilizing presence if not one who’s going to make a ton of splash plays.

Best fits: Chiefs, Raiders, Titans

16. OT Rasheed Walker

He’s been a solid, if unspectacular, starter for the Packers since 2023. But serviceable, 26-year-old left tackles don’t grow on trees.

Best fits: Rams, Patriots, Cardinals

17. RB Kenneth Walker III

The 25-year-old Super Bowl MVP will get a hefty raise in Seattle or elsewhere. But Walker is not the second coming of Saquon Barkley, isn’t as good an every-down player as Hall and has spent most of his career in a platoon. The guess here is that Walker won’t come close to resetting the compensation scale at a position that generally doesn’t command top dollar.

Best fits: Seahawks, Jets, Steelers

18. WR Jauan Jennings

A 6-3, 212-pounder, the 28-year-old caught 132 balls (15 for TDs) over the past two seasons for the San Francisco 49ers. Jennings’ roots as a quarterback also make him quite a threat on trick plays. He’s also the proverbial dog that some locker rooms covet … and others won’t.

Best fits: Commanders, Raiders, 49ers

19. WR Mike Evans

He’ll be 33 by Week 1 and is coming off the worst of his 12 NFL seasons. But 6-5 and 231 pounds don’t fade like speed does, and a healthy Evans should be a dangerous offensive weapon and top-tier leader again in 2026 − whether it’s for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or someone else.

Best fits: Buccaneers, Patriots, Seahawks

20. OLB/DE Khalil Mack

He’ll be 35 by next week and is coming off (perhaps) the worst of his 12 NFL seasons. But 6-3 and 269 pounds worth of power don’t fade like an agile pass rusher might, and a healthy Mack should be a dangerous defensive weapon and top-tier leader again in 2026 − whether it’s for the Chargers or someone else.

Best fits: Chargers, Ravens, Patriots

21. CB Nahshon Wright

Though he’s already 27, he’s hardly a finished product. He’s also a 6-4, 199-pound corner who led the NFL with eight takeaways (5 INTs, 3 fumble recoveries) after becoming a surprise starter (and surprise first-time Pro Bowler) for the Chicago Bears. The upside and production spike are going to make Wright rich.

Best fits: Bears, Seahawks, Cowboys

22. WR Romeo Doubs

He’s 25 with good size (6-2, 204) and has averaged roughly 50 receptions and 600 yards during four years with the Pack, who have widely dispersed their target share in the post-Davante Adams era. Doubs could be far more impactful as a 1A or second option elsewhere.

Best fits: Cardinals, Jets, Titans

23. QB Aaron Rodgers

Last season was his best since 2021, his most recent MVP effort. Hard to imagine the 42-year-old legend playing anywhere besides the Pittsburgh Steelers, who just hired Mike McCarthy, formerly Rodgers’ coach in Green Bay. Again, monitor the Vikings as a possible dark horse.

Best fits: Steelers, Vikings, Cardinals

24. S Kamren Curl

The kind of versatile DB any defense wants, able to play deep, in the box or in the slot. Only 26, Curl already has 86 starts split between Washington and the Los Angeles Rams.

Best fits: Chiefs, Seahawks, 49ers

25. DE/OLB Joey Bosa

He’ll be 31 this season and has a checkered injury history. But Bosa’s 2025 campaign with the Buffalo Bills was his best since 2021. He had five sacks and 43 pressures in 15 games and led the league with five forced fumbles. He’d be wise to find a home where his snaps can be maximized but limited.

Best fits: 49ers, Ravens, Bills

26. WR Wan’dale Robinson

He may be 5-8 and 185 pounds, but the 25-year-old was targeted 140 times each of the past two years with the New York Giants − and posted his first 1,000-yard season in 2025. Robinson isn’t a No. 1 receiver, either − doesn’t mean he won’t heavily impact his next offense.

Best fits: Jets, Giants, Titans

27. OLB/DE Boye Mafe

Despite being a rotational player in Seattle, he was still credited with 41 pressures despite playing fewer than half the defensive snaps. Only 27, he’s another who could get a Lombardi raise from an outside suitor.

28. CB Jamel Dean

He was All-Pro-caliber in his seventh season, allowing just 22 completions in 14 games. And Dean is only 29.

29. G David Edwards

Want a highly capable 28-year-old interior offensive lineman whom the Buffalo Bills may not be able to afford to keep? Then Edwards might be your guy.

30. C Connor McGovern

Want a highly capable 28-year-old interior offensive lineman whom the Buffalo Bills may not be able to afford to keep? Then McGovern might be your guy.

31. CB Riq Woolen

He’s a 6-4, 210-pound athletic freak who will be 27 in May. He also lost the starting job he’d held for 3½ years midway through the 2025 season – though that’s at least partially due to Seattle’s embarrassing riches of talent, and Woolen remained a significant contributor. He’ll be a starter elsewhere soon … and a well-compensated one.

32. RB Travis Etienne

He rebounded from a miserable 2024 to rack up 1,399 yards from scrimmage and a career-best 13 TDs for the AFC South champion Jags. Etienne, 27, may not be an every-down back, but he’s a highly capable receiver who should always be on the field during high-leverage situations.

33. DL Dre’Mont Jones

Physically imposing at 6-3 and 281 pounds, he can be a valuable end for teams that favor 3-4 fronts. Traded to the Ravens midway through last season, the 29-year-old had his best year – actually appearing in 18 games (no bye due to the trade) and finished with seven sacks and 55 pressures, both the best of his seven-year career.

34. CB Cor’Dale Flott

He’ll be 25 at the beginning of next season and has shown steady improvement over the past two years with the Giants – allowing just two TD passes while starting 24 of 28 games over that span.

35. CB Montaric Brown

A 26-year-old coming off a breakout season, when QBs had a 69.9 passer rating when targeting him.

36. LB Bobby Wagner

He doesn’t play a premium position, and he’s 35 – not that you’d know it. A great leader and great guy who should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he’s done, championship-aspiring teams should be lining up to sign him.

37. TE Travis Kelce

He doesn’t play a premium position, and he’s 36 – not that you’d know it, especially after playing better in 2025 than he did the previous year. Hard to imagine Kelce plays anywhere but Kansas City, assuming he plays and can find a financial middle ground with the team after making more than $17 million last season.

38. OL Alijah Vera-Tucker

An immensely talented player who was the 14th overall pick by the Jets in 2021, he can play pretty much anywhere on the line … provided he can play, period. Vera-Tucker has played more than seven games twice in his career and missed all of last season with a triceps injury.

39. S Jaylinn Hawkins

He really hit his groove with the New England Patriots in 2025, his sixth year but third team, picking off four passes – doubling his career total entering the season. Other teams tend to love 28-year-olds who just played in the Super Bowl.

40. DL John Franklin-Myers

A 29-year-old who’s done a lot of the dirty work during his career, he collected a career-best 7½ sacks for the Denver Broncos in 2025. Franklin-Myers, who’s mostly played in three-man fronts, has averaged 43.2 pressures since 2020.

41. RB Tyler Allgeier

He was a 1,000-yard rusher in 2022 … the year before Bijan Robinson arrived in Atlanta. Yet Allgeier, 25, still averaged nearly 750 yards from scrimmage and five TDs over the next three seasons in a valuable secondary role to Robinson.

42. LB Devin Bush Jr.

A first-round pick of the Steelers in 2019, the 27-year-old has come into his own the past two years in Cleveland, his third NFL team.

43. S Jalen Thompson

Only 27, he’s quietly been Budda Baker’s backline partner in crime for seven years in Arizona.

44. OT Braxton Jones

A series of injuries starting late in the 2024 season waylaid him, but he was a reliable left tackle for the Bears for the three years up to that point. Jones turns 27 next month and should have a lot of good football left in him.

45. DL Calais Campbell

Even at 39, he continues to be a phenomenal player and leader – one who remarkably hasn’t missed a game since 2022.

46. G Teven Jenkins

A second-round pick in 2021, he’s more than solid inside but can also shift out to tackle in a pinch.

47. CB Cobie Durant

The 28-year-old has allowed a 54% completion rate on passes thrown in his direction the past two years as a full-time starter for the Rams.

48. C Cade Mays

After taking over the pivot in Carolina last year, the 26-year-old could find himself enriched as the Linderbaum consolation prize somewhere.

49. LB Nakobe Dean

He’s little more than a year removed from suffering a torn patellar tendon in the 2024 playoffs and it impacted his ’25 campaign. The Eagles could get a bargain if they can get the 25-year-old, who played 10 games last season, back for at least one more year.

50. G Dalton Risner

A solid addition in Cincinnati last year, the Bengals should think twice before letting a player who allowed just two sacks to leave.

51. RB Rico Dowdle

He has 2,701 yards from scrimmage while splitting the last two years in Dallas and Carolina. A tough runner who’s only 27, his production really tailed off in the second half of last season after an explosive October.

52. S Kevin Byard

A three-time All-Pro, he led the league with seven INTs in 2025, and his 36 picks are the second most among active players. Byard will be 33 in August but still clearly has gas left in the tank.

53. G Ed Ingram

A second-round pick of Minnesota four years ago, Ingram just had his best season in Houston.

54. LB Leo Chenal

He’s started 44 games during his four-year career with the Chiefs, but 2025 was the first time he was on the field for more than half the snaps – and barely then (53.2%). Only 25, Chenal is an exceptional athlete who could shine given the opportunity to play more for another team – though he probably needs to factor more as a pass rusher.

55. TE Isaiah Likely

He’s 25 and extraordinarily talented. But 2025 was also his least productive season, partially derailed by a foot injury early in the year. But it was notable the Ravens chose to extend TE Mark Andrews, who’s five years older than Likely, in December.

56. DE Kwity Paye

Reliable if unspectacular, the 27-year-old has started 74 games since being a first-round pick of the Colts in 2021. Paye has 30½ career sacks, at least 40 pressures in each of the past three seasons and defends the run well enough.

57. S Jaquan Brisker

Not a lot of flash, but a 26-year-old who started in Chicago for four years can stabilize the back end of a defense.

58. DE-OLB Al-Quadin Muhammad

He’s nearly 31 but picked the right time to have a career season – registering 11 sacks and 59 pressures for the Detroit Lions in 2025, by far personal bests. TBD how much his outlier season and age will allow Muhammad to cash in.

59. G Isaac Seumalo

A decade into his career, Rodgers sung his praises last season. Seumalo, 32, won’t get Linderbaum-level money … but he likely won’t be waiting long for a new deal, either.

60. WR Deebo Samuel

He’s a big name. He’s also 30, isn’t a polished receiver and has averaged fewer than 900 yards from scrimmage over the past four years in what’s largely a play-making role. He has handled kickoffs the past two years, a factor that boosts his value.

61. RB Rachaad White

He had more than 1,500 yards from scrimmage for the Bucs in 2023 but was overtaken on the depth chart by Bucky Irving in 2024. But White, 27, who’s also averaged more than 50 receptions during his four-year career, should find a significant role elsewhere.

62. TE Dallas Goedert

He’s 31 but also coming off one of his best seasons, his 11 TDs and 60 catches in 2025 both career highs. Blocking isn’t the longtime Eagle’s forte … the “Tush Push” notwithstanding.

63. NT Khyiris Tonga

Tough to find 6-2, 335-pounders who eat space and stress pockets. Tonga, 29, did it well for New England in 2025, playing a career-high 322 snaps.

64. S Alohi Gilman

Traded for Oweh last October, Gilman did a nice job in Baltimore – his ability to line up just about anywhere making him a nice complement to Kyle Hamilton.

65. CB Alontae Taylor

He’s not a shutdown guy. He is 27, largely lives in the slot and is extremely durable.

66. DL Logan Hall

A 6-6, 283-pounder who was a second-round pick of the Bucs in 2022, he can eat up a lot of snaps and should be able to do so in even or odd fronts.

67. OT Jermaine Eluemunor

A fifth-rounder in 2017, he’s been better than average during his career and has become an especially good pass blocker in recent years – starting 62 games since 2022.

68. WR Jalen Nailor

His numbers would probably be much more impressive had he not been stuck behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota. Still, Nailor, 26, had 47 first downs and 10 TDs over the past two seasons and has averaged 15.4 yards per catch during his four-year career.

69. DE/OLB Jadeveon Clowney

Something of a mercenary at age 33, the No. 1 pick of the 2014 draft had 8½ sacks and 38 pressures for the Cowboys last season despite playing about half of his typical snap count. He can also still set a nice edge.

70. RB J.K. Dobbins

Durability has always been the issue, and a foot injury limited him to 10 games in Denver last season. Yet Dobbins, 27, was averaging a career-best 77.2 rushing yards per game before going down.

71. DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson

He’s 28, versatile and knows how to get underneath an opponent’s skin … though that’s also sometimes true of his own teams, too.

72. G Kevin Zeitler

He’ll be 36 next month. Otherwise? Still plug and play – at a very high level.

73. CB Josh Jobe

He doesn’t have Woolen’s physical gifts, but Jobe emerged as a consistent starter on Seattle’s defense – yet probably won’t command nearly as much as dough as his (in all likelihood) soon-to-be former teammate.

74. OLB/DE K’Lavon Chaisson

He finally showed why he was a first-round pick six years ago, providing 7½ sacks and 52 pressures – both career highs – during his first season with the Patriots. The 6-3, 255-pounder has to be in the right system but should have plenty of time to flourish in an ideal environment given he’s only 26.

75. OLB Arden Key

A slightly older, slightly slighter version of Chaisson, Key does own 27½ sacks and more than 200 pressures since 2021.

76. CB Rasul Douglas

He bounced back nicely after a rough 2024 campaign in Buffalo. A big (6-2, 209) corner with 21 career picks shouldn’t be unemployed for long, even at 30.

77. RB Kenneth Gainwell

He was the Steelers’ MVP last season, when he had a career-high 187 touches and career-best 1,023 yards from scrimmage – along with a personal best eight TDs. Soon to be 27, Gainwell could be a perfect addition for an offense that favors a running back by committee approach.

78. TE David Njoku

He’s still a physical marvel at 29, good for around 50 grabs, 600 yards and a handful of TDs annually. And unlike a lot of tight ends nowadays, he’s also effective in-line as a blocker.

79. G Zion Johnson

A first-rounder in 2022, he was decidedly average for the Chargers. But a lot of teams would take decidedly average if it’s available for 1,000-plus snaps per season, as Johnson has been.

80. TE Cade Otton

He averaged 59 catches and nearly 600 yards over the past two seasons in Tampa. Decent blocker.

81. DT DJ Reader

Even at 31, the 6-3, 330-pounder can still crush a pocket – especially if his snaps are used judiciously.

82. OT Braden Smith

He’s started 105 games in eight seasons for the Colts but has missed 16 over the past three seasons and has battled a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

83. OLB/DE Arnold Ebiketie

He’s 27 and has shown the ability to get to the quarterback (130 total pressures) during his four-year career. But he hasn’t proven he can be any more than rotational defender with only 12 starts to his credit.

84. CB Eric Stokes

A first-rounder of the Packers in 2021, he played for the Las Vegas Raiders last year and had his best season since he was a rookie.

85. TE Chig Okonkwo

An oversized receiver at 6-3 and 238 pounds, maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise he doesn’t block much. But Okonkwo, 26, had his best season in 2025 with 56 receptions for 560 yards.

86. WR Keenan Allen

He’ll be 34 in April but still moves the sticks, 49 of his 81 catches for the Chargers going for first downs last season.

87. LB Alex Singleton

He’s 32 but has averaged more than 100 tackles over the past six years and can quarterback a defense.

88. LB Alex Anzalone

He’s 31 but has averaged more than 100 tackles over the past four years and can quarterback a defense.

89. OLB Von Miller

He’s about to turn 37, yet he’s transitioned into a highly effective situational pass rush specialist – the former Super Bowl MVP racking up 15 sacks and 67 pressures over the last two years, that despite starting just three games.

90. WR Marquise Brown

He’s only caught more than 70 passes once during his seven-year career, but his speed remains a force multiplier.

91. RB Brian Robinson

His touches were down while backing up Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco, but the 26-year-old Robinson still has plenty of tread on the tires and should be a nice addition to a rotation somewhere.

92. DL Sebastian Joseph-Day

A 6-4, 310-pound veteran who’s played effectively for a variety of teams and in a variety of systems, he’ll get scooped up given where he plays.

93. DE/OLB Cameron Jordan

His 10½ sacks in 2025 were his most in four years. Hard to imagine the 36-year-old playing a 16th season anywhere but New Orleans, but he seems to have more to give.

94. LB Demario Davis

Now 37, hard to imagine this longtime mainstay in the middle of any other defense but New Orleans’.

95. LB Lavonte David

Now 36, hard to imagine this longtime mainstay in the middle of any other defense but Tampa Bay’s.

96. G Wyatt Teller

Now 32, he’s tailed off a bit since being a three-time Pro Bowler for Cleveland from 2021-23. Still, he should be a valuable addition if healthy.

97. K Eddy Piñeiro

Someone’s going to throw a chunk of change at a guy who drilled a league-best 96.6% of his field goals in 2025 (for San Francisco). Right?

98. QB Russell Wilson

His days as a starter appear over … unless he’s willing to go into another situation where he’s clearly a stopgap.

99. WR Tyreek Hill*

100. DL Sheldon Rankins

A 31-year-old journeyman who could be on the move yet again – but interior defensive linemen are always in demand, especially if they can hold up for 500 to 600 snaps per season. And Rankins, who’s coming off his second stint with the Texans, remains a productive one who’s scheme-diverse.

The stars are out in Milan to catch the best athletes around the world compete against one another while representing their countries at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Many celebrities and athletes have made their way to Italy as spectators for the athletic winter spectacle including the likes of rapper and honorary Team USA coach Snoop Dogg, Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Simone Biles, fashion icon Vera Wang and YouTube influencer turned boxer Jake Paul, who celebrated his fiancée’s speed skating gold medal.

The latest celebrity sighting from the live broadcast was Jackie Chan, who was seen in the crowd tuning in to the figure skating gala.

The crowd cheered Chan, who held two panda plush toys in his arms, as he gave an interview.

He appeared to be there in support of Mikhail Shaidorov, who had performed a ‘Kung Fu Panda’ routine. Chan is in the animated movies as Master Monkey.

Who is Jackie Chan?

Chan is a global icon known for being a filmmaker, actor, martial artist, and his fighting style, as well as being a stuntman who famously completes his own stunts in movies.

He’s appeared in over 100 films, including his first break into Hollywood with the film ‘Role ‘Rumble in the Bronx.’ But he arguably became a cultural icon following the ‘Rush Hour’ series, thanks to his comedic timing with Chris Tucker.

Chan also had an animated series from 2000 to 2005 on Cartoon Network and Kids’ WB called ‘Jackie Chan Adventures.’

How old is Jackie Chan?

Chan was born as Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954. He is 71.

Where is Jackie Chan from?

Chan is from Hong Kong.

Finland remains the biggest medal collector of the NHL era of the Winter Olympics.

The Finns won a bronze medal on Saturday, Feb. 21, by defeating Slovakia 6-1, avenging a 4-1 loss to that country in the opening game of the men’s hockey tournament.

Finland now has five medals in Olympics using NHL players (1998-2014, 2026). It previously won bronze medals in 1998, 2010 and 2014 and a silver medal in 2006, being shut out only in 2002.

The Finns entered the tournament without their best player, Florida Panthers star Aleksander Barkov. And they were without star Mikko Rantanen in Saturday’s game.

But NHL-stocked Finland, which won the 2022 Olympics without NHL players, outplayed Slovakia (seven NHL players) in the bronze medal game.

Sebastian Aho and Erik Haula gave the Finns a 2-0 lead. Slovakia’s Tomas Tatar scored in the final minute of the second period, but Finland pulled away in the third. Roope Hintz and Kaapo Kakko scored 42 seconds apart and Joel Armia and Haula added empty-netters.

Slovakia fell short while trying to repeat as a 2022 medalist (bronze) after defeating Finland in the opener and finishing atop Group B. Finland nearly upset Canada in the semifinals, but the Canadians overcame a 2-0 deficit to advance. Slovakia was routed by the USA in the other semifinal.

There is one men’s hockey game left in the 2026 Olympics. The United States and Canada will play in the gold medal game on Sunday, Feb. 22 at 8:10 a.m. ET (NBC, Peacock).

USA TODAY provided highlights for the bronze medal game between Finland and Slovakia. Here are the highlights:

Goaltending matchup

Finland’s Juuse Saros vs. Slovakia’s Samuel Hlavaj, who was pulled in Friday’s semifinal

Mikko Rantanen injury update

Mikko Rantanen won’t play because of an injury. He’s one of the NHL’s top scorers, so this is a big loss for Finland.

Who to watch for Finland

Finland can field an all-NHL lineup. Sebastian Aho (Hurricanes) is known for his speed and two-way play. Goalie Juuse Saros (Predators) has played every game in this tournament and has a 1.80 goals against average and .934 save percentage.

Who to watch for Slovakia

Slovakia has only seven NHL players on the roster, but one is a very recognizable name. Juraj Slafkovsky was MVP of the Beijing Olympics with seven goals and parlayed that into being the No. 1 overall of the 2022 NHL Draft by the Montreal Canadiens. He has four goals and four assists in Milan. Dalibor Dvorksy (Blues) has three goals and three assists.

What happened in the first Finland vs Slovakia game?

Slovakia won 4-1. Slovakia’s Juraj Slafkovsky opened the scoring, but Eeli Tolvanen tied the game in the second period. Dalibor Dvorsky put Slovakia back ahead in the third period and Slafkovsky and Adam Rucinsky (empty netter) also scored. Goalie Samuel Hvalaj, who plays in the American Hockey League, made 39 saves in the win.

The United States will be battling history as well as Canada when the countries play in Sunday’s gold medal game (8:10 a.m. ET, NBC, Peacock) at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

That’s because Canada has the edge against the USA in recent championship games of best-on-best tournaments featuring NHL players.

You have to go all the way back to the 1996 World Cup of Hockey for the last time that the United States prevailed. In the meantime, Canada has won two Olympic gold medal game matchups and last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off.

The 2026 U.S. and Canada Olympic rosters are mostly made up of 4 Nations Face-Off players.

Here’s a look at how the USA has fared in the last five championship matchups against Canada:

2025 4 Nations Face-Off: Canada 3, USA 2 (OT)

There was hope for a victory after the United States won a fight-filled game in the round robin of the NHL-run tournament. But the championship game was a loss for the USA.

Tournament MVP Nathan MacKinnon opened the scoring, but Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson gave the USA the lead. That didn’t last long as Canada’s Sam Bennett tied the game less than seven minutes later. After a scoreless third period, the game went to overtime. Jordan Binnington made big saves on Auston Matthews and Tkachuk before Connor McDavid scored the winner.

The USA’s Matthew Tkachuk, who had missed the third game of the tournament with an injury, dressed for the final but couldn’t finish the game.

2010 Olympics: Canada 3, USA 2 (OT)

The Americans tied the game in Vancouver on a Zach Parise goal with 25 seconds left in regulation. Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby then scored the golden goal for Canada at 7:40 of overtime. That started an international run for Canada. The country won the 2014 Olympics (beating the USA in the semifinals) and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey (Crosby was MVP).

2002 Olympics: Canada 5, USA 2

The United States had the home crowd in Utah and the ‘Miracle on Ice’ coach in Herb Brooks. But Canada got big games from future Hall of Famers. Jarome Iginla and Joe Sakic each scored twice and Paul Kariya also scored as Canada overcame 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to win Olympic gold for the first time since 1952. Martin Brodeur made 31 saves.

1996 World Cup of Hockey: USA wins final series 2-1

This, along with the 1980 Olympics, is one of USA Hockey’s bigger moments. Canada won the opener of the best-of-three final in Philadelphia, then the Americans needed to win twice in Montreal for the title. They had two 5-2 victories and overcame two one-goal deficits. After Adam Foote put Canada ahead 2-1, the USA scored four times in the final four minutes to stun Canada in the final game. Keith Tkachuk, father of U.S. Olympians Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, scored five goals in that tournament.

1991 Canada Cup: Canada wins final series 2-0

Canada swept the final with 4-1 and 4-2 victories. Canada’s Steve Larmer had two goals (one short-handed) and an assist in the second game.
