BEIJING (AP) — The Russian women’s hockey team has gone from quarantine to an Olympic win in two days. The Russian team was in isolation in the Olympic Village from Monday to Wednesday and couldn’t train after one of the largest coronavirus outbreaks so far at the Beijing Games.

China picked up its first Olympic victory since 2010 after beating first-time competitor Denmark 3-1.
