In one of the most emotional victories of the Games, American Jim Shea won the men's skeleton Wednesday. The third generation Olympian carried in his helmet the funeral card of his grandfather, a gold medalist in speed skating 70 years ago, who died four weeks before the Games. In the women's skeleton event, Americans Tristan Gale and Lea Ann Parsley took the gold and silver.
