One of the most cold-blooded, iconic moments in recentOlympichistory came at the 2024 Summer Olympics whenSteph Currydrilled a three-pointer to put the gold medal game against France out of reach, and hit them with his "Night, Night" celebration.

It has been a stellar Olympics for the host nation, with the Italians second in both golds and overall medals as of Tuesday evening, behind only Norway.

Just behind them is the US of A (USA! USA! USA!), and the two were facing each other in the men's team pursuit final.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be a speed skating expert (though I do know that skating fast is a key to success), but I did watch some of the earlier heats for this event, and apparently, the United States is a monster in this event.
In fact, they changed the game a few years ago. Previously, teams would swap out the skater in the lead, with the thought being that no one could lead an entire race without tiring. The US thought otherwise and realized they could save time if they didn't swap out the lead skater, and that has since become the norm.

The host nation finished more than four seconds ahead, and that's when Italy's Andrea Giovannini busted out the celly.
