Tuesday marked the first day in Olympic competition in which the United States failed to earn a medal. Germany took advantage, and with the help of women's luge gold medalist Tatjana Huefner (shown above) jumped the U.S. in the medal count. Germany now sits in first with 9 medals, with the U.S. holding second with 8. France rounds out the top 3 with 7 medals.
Even though no Americans won any medals on Tuesday, successes were still evident for the U.S. The men's and women's hockey teams both were victorious, the men defeating Switzerland 3-1 and the women demolishing Russia 13-0. In the women's game, Jenny Potter set a new Olympic record by repeating her hat trick performance from the previous 12-1 victory over China, becoming the first women's hockey player to record a hat trick in back-to-back games.
