Congratulations to EW.com’s Olympic Stud of the Day, Dutch Chris Hardwick a.k.a. Michel Mulder, winner of the Men’s 500-meter Stay In Your Lane event. I was just about to write off long-track speed skating as “almost too chill,” but suddenly there were twin Dutch brothers in the picture and I had to reevaluate (plus, duh, nothing in existence has ever been “too chill”; get it together, Annie!)

NPR reported that she was visibly limping and complaining that the injury was "not good" this morning. She managed to maintain her lead during the downhill portion of the competition, but wiped out, giving up the lead-- and the gold medal-- to her friend Maria Riesch of Germany.
