Several Team USA athletes celebrated on the podium Sunday after winning medals during the 2018 Olympic Games.
Luger Chris Mazdzer won silver in men's singles, and 24-year-old Mirai Nagasu made U.S. Olympic figure skating history.
Here's the Olympic action you might have missed on Sunday:
US figure skater Mirai Nagasu lands a historic triple Axel
Mirai Nagasu’s first performance at the Pyeongchang Olympics was a historic one.
Nagasu became the first American woman to land a triple Axel at the Olympics, doing it during the team competition. It was the first jump in her program, and she landed it perfectly. Watch it again
Japan’s Midori Ito and Mao Asada are the only other women to land the 3 ½-revolution jump at the Winter Games.
US figure skating team wins bronze

Snowboarder Jamie Anderson wins back-to-back gold in slopestyle
Four years after she won gold in snowboard slopestyle’s debut in the Games, Anderson claimed another in Pyeongchang.
With strong winds gusting throughout the competition, Anderson took the lead on her first run with a score of 83.00 and it proved to be enough. Watch her run again
Before she took her final run, she already knew she had won the gold. In what amounted to a victory lap, she fell on a jump. But it didn't matter at that point.
Laurie Blouin of Canada won silver and Finland's Enni Rukajarvi took bronze.
Chris Mazdzer makes US Olympic history with team's first medal in men's singles luge
Chris Mazdzer finished second in the luge men’s singles competition, becoming the first American man to medal in the event. Watch his medal-winning run
Mazdzer, a 29-year-old native of Lake Placid, N.Y., put himself into position for the medal on his third run, moving up from fourth to second and setting a track record.
“I knew that I had it,” he said. “I don’t know. It was such this weird thing. I was really at peace with myself.”
US women's hockey team rallies to win first game
The United States women's hockey team rallied to beat Finland 3-1 on Sunday. Finland stunned the Americans with a goal at 5.8 seconds left in the first. Watch highlights
Monique Lamoureux-Morando tied it up for the Americans. Then they took a 2-1 lead with a power-play goal at 11:29. Dani Cameranesi sealed it with a goal with 13 seconds left.
Team USA will play the Olympic Athletes from Russia on Tuesday before wrapping up the preliminary round against their biggest rival, Canada — winner of the last four Olympic gold medals.
No medals for US women's moguls team
The Americans had a rough night in the snow during the women's moguls competition. Only six skiers compete in the final, and no one from Team USA made it. Top-ranked Jaelin Kauf finished seventh.
Perrine Laffont from France took home the gold, Justine Dufour-Lapointe of Canada finished second and Yulia Galysheva of Kazakhstan won bronze.
The 30km, hour-long skiathalon was surprisingly epic
Watching skiers race around a course for more than one hour in the 30km cross-country skiathlon usually isn't considered the most exciting event of the Winter Olympics. But Sunday's race was an exception.
When Norwegian Simen Hegstad Krueger slipped and fell on the first lap and found himself face down in the snow with two rivals on top of him, he figured his hopes at an Olympic medal were over.
He couldn't have been more wrong. Krueger passed 63 other skiers to take the lead and win the gold medal on Sunday to cap an amazing comeback.
