00:00The very first figure skating medal has been awarded at the Milano Cortina Olympics, and it's gold for the U.S.
00:07Team USA beat Japan by one point thanks to a clutch performance by the quad god himself, Ilya Malanin.
00:15But I think my favorite moment of the night was the skate by Italian Matteo Rizzo.
00:22He spent the entire season just trying to qualify for this Olympic Games,
00:26and he brought down the house with his rousing, clean performance.
00:31Afterward, I thought the entire Italian skating team would just jump over the boards and join him on the ice.
00:36It was a wonderful moment that helped the Italians win their very first medal in the team figure skating event.
00:43They won bronze.
