Teams USA wins silver in team figure skating as Russia takes gold

Kamila Valieva became the first woman to land a quad in the Olympics - two of them, in fact - and her historic free skate put a stamp on the Russians' dominant run to the gold medal in the team event at the Beijing Games on Monday. Team USA won the silver medal.

The 15-year-old Valieva opened with a huge quad salchow and followed with the difficult triple axel before landing another quad, this time a toe loop in combination with a triple toe loop. The only blemish on her program came when she fell on her quad toe loop late in the program, but by that point, her first gold medal in Beijing was assured.

Another one could come shortly in the individual event, where the Russians are favored to sweep the podium.
