Team USA is still sixth like it was Monday, although it has two more medals (bronze) to raise their total to 12 (5 gold). American Brita Sigourney finished third in the women’s ski halfpipe, and siblings Alex and Maia Shibutani won bronze in the ice dance free skate final Tuesday.
France has jumped to fifth from eighth with 13 medals (5 gold), winning three medals Tuesday: a gold and two silvers. Martin Fourcade edged Germany’s Simon Schempp to win the men’s 15-kilometer mass biathlon by a tiny margin.
