U.S. takes team pursuit gold, Jordan Stolz silver, Cooper McLeod bronze at speed skating worlds
HAMAR, Norway — The U.S. won a medal of every color in men's events, including team pursuit gold, at the World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships on Friday.
Casey Dawson, Emery Lehman and Ethan Cepuran combined to win the U.S.' first title in the men's team pursuit since 2011. They beat silver medalist Italy by a sizable 1.93 seconds in the eight-lap event.
Jordan Stolz and Cooper McLeod added silver and bronze medals in the 500m won by Dutchman Jenning de Boo. It's the first time two American men made the same individual world podium since Shani Davis and Trevor Marsicano in 2009 in the 1000m and 1500m.
De Boo became the first skater to beat Stolz in a World Single Distances Championships race after Stolz swept the 500m, 1000m and 1500m at his first two worlds in 2023 and 2024.

Femke Kok and Jutta Leerdam of the Netherlands went one-two in the women's 500m, with Kok earning her third consecutive world title in the event.
Olympic gold medalist Erin Jackson was fifth, 23 hundredths behind bronze medalist Kim Min-Sun of South Korea.
Going back to the men's team pursuit, Dawson, Lehman and Cepuran added a world title to their Olympic bronze medals from 2022 and world record from 2024.
The U.S. has won silver and bronze at the Olympics in team pursuits, but never Olympic gold. The event made its Olympic debut in 2006.
In the men's 500m on Friday, de Boo broke a 17-year-old track record at the Viking Ship to overtake Stolz and McLeod, who were in first and second place going into the last pair.
De Boo clocked 34.24 seconds, edging Stolz by .14 and McLeod, who earned his first individual world medal, by .28.
Stolz, a 20-year-old from Wisconsin, in 2023 became the first man to win three individual events at one worlds and the youngest skater to win an individual world title.
He repeated the 500m, 1000m and 1500m triple in 2024, plus won a men's record 18 consecutive World Cup races from Feb. 2, 2024, through Feb. 1, 2025.
De Boo emerged this season as Stolz's closest challenger, then beat Stolz for the first time on the senior level in Stolz's most recent World Cup 500m on Feb. 28.
Stolz contracted pneumonia and strep throat in early February, then withdrew from his last World Cup races before worlds from March 1-2 due to tiredness from overtraining in returning from the illnesses. His coach, Bob Corby, deemed Stolz's readiness at 98% on Tuesday.
Stolz next races the 1000m on Saturday and the 1500m on Sunday. He has been more dominant in those races this season — 10 wins in 11 starts — than in the 500m.
Worlds continue Saturday with the women's and men's 1000m, the women's 5000m and the men's mass start, starting at 9 a.m. ET, live on Peacock. CNBC airs highlights at 1 p.m.

About the Oakmont Country Club The club opened in 1903 and was the only course designed by Henry Fownes, on property in the Allegheny River Valley used primarily as farmland. Gil Hanse recently oversaw a renovation. What fans might notice about Oakmont if they're watching for the first time is that there are no water hazards on the course. No ponds, lakes, creeks or rivers. The danger in Oakmont is its length (the course will play 7,372 for the championship) and the number of huge, deep bunkers. Advertisement Another feature about Oakmont is the par-3 eighth hole, which can play up to 300 yards, and the 'church pew bunkers,' or rows of grass within a huge fairway bunker, between the par-3 third hole and the par-4 fourth hole. Oakmont will host U.S. Opens in 2034, 2042, and 2049. It also has hosted three PGA Championships, three NCAA Championships and two U.S. Women's Championships. The last U.S. Open at Oakmont was in 2016, won by Dustin Johnson. Who has won U.S. Opens at Oakmont? 1927: Tommy Armour 1935: Sam Parks 1953: Ben Hogan 1962: Jack Nicklaus 1973: Johnny Miller 1983: Larry Nelson 1994: Ernie Els 2007: Angel Cabrera 2016: Dustin Johnson Who has won the most U.S. Opens? 4-Willie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905), Bobby Jones (1923, 1926, 1929, 1930), Ben Hogan (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953), Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972, 1980). 3-Hale Irwin (1974, 1979, 1990), Tiger Woods (2000, 2002, 2008). Fifteen players have won two Opens. The last was Brooks Koepka who won his second in 2018. It also was the last time a player won back-to-back. Who's favored in the U.S. Open? BetMGM has established Scheffler as the favorite at +275. Trailing him are four past U.S. Open champions, DeChambeau (+800), McIlroy (+1100) and Jon Rahm (+1200).

T.J. Oshie announces he's retiring
WASHINGTON — T.J. Oshie, who scored four shootout goals for the U.S. to beat host Russia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and helped the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2018, announced he is retiring after playing 16 NHL seasons. Oshie shared his news in front of hundreds of fans gathered at the fountains at Washington Harbour in Georgetown, seven years to the day of one of the most memorable Cup celebrations in hockey history when he and several teammates jumped into the fountains and took a dip. President of hockey operations Brian MacLellan, general manager Chris Patrick, coach Spencer Carbery and longtime teammates Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson came out to support Oshie as he called it a career. 'My only contribution was that this could be a good day and place to have (the ceremony),' Oshie said, adding, 'I can't thank the Caps enough. Another first-class move by them to have my retirement here, invite all the people out. It really made this day special.' The announcement had been expected for quite some time, with Oshie's contract expiring. The 38-year-old did not play this past season because of a nagging back injury that sidelined him off and on, going on long-term injured reserve instead. Oshie said in the spring of 2024 he would only return to the Capitals if he found a permanent solution or fix to the issue. His final game was at home on April 28 last year against the New York Rangers, a 4-2 loss in the first round that eliminated Washington in a sweep. 'I was fully prepared that could be my last game: I got the pictures taken of me taking off the skates to prove it,' Oshie said. 'I hadn't thought too much about (the end), honestly, besides that moment. Even before that moment, knowing how tough it was on really the whole team with me, what I was going through, actually saying the words out loud at the podium with my family in front of me and the Caps organization, my teammates, all my close friends, it was emotional.' Taken 24th in the 2005 draft by St. Louis, Oshie played 1,116 regular-season and playoff games in the league with the Blues and Capitals since making his debut in 2008. He had 336 goals and 428 assists for 764 points, including 21 points during Washington's Cup run. Oshie made an international name for himself at the Olympics, earning the nickname 'T.J. Sochi' for going 4 for 6 in shootout attempts against Sergei Bobrovsky during the U.S.-Russia preliminary round game in that tournament. U.S. Olympic coach Dan Bylsma figured one game would go to a shootout, hence the choice of bringing Oshie. Bylsma kept going back to him over and over. 'T.J. had been on fire that season in the shootout, and with the scouting report on Bobrovsky we felt T.J. would have a great chance against him,' Bylsma told The Associated Press by text message. 'Even when he didn't score, he had beaten Bob with his move, so we kept rolling with him.' In the NHL, his biggest impact came after he was traded from the Blues to the Capitals in 2015. Oshie took on an immediate leadership role as a key addition to the core of Alex Ovechkin, Backstrom and Carlson, helping the team make the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in the nation's capital. 'I'll be the first to give credit to my teammates, because without them, I was nowhere near good enough to do it without a group like that,' Oshie said. Oshie's 76 power-play goals in D.C. are the fifth most in franchise history. He scored 49 times in the shootout, tied for third all time since it was implemented in 2005. 'I like to think that when I was playing, that I was playing for my teammates, for my coaches, for my family, for my fans. I rarely thought about my own accolades,' Oshie said. 'To be remembered (as a 'warrior' type of player) is a huge honor because that was my goal and the way I played the game.'
