Chris Mazder has made history by being the first American take an Olympic medal in luge men's singles.

Mazdzer placed second in 3:10.728 in the event on Sunday at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. America won medals in the luge men's doubles in 1998 and 2002, but he is the country's first man to medal in singles.

Austria's David Gleirscher was a surprise leader in the event, finishing his four runs at the Alpensia Sliding Center in 3 minutes, 10.702 seconds for the gold, Austria's first in men's luge in 50 years.

Germany's Johannes Ludwig took third in 3:10.932.

Winners and Losers From Week 2 of the 2018 Winter Olympics

The Winter Olympics are wrapping up, and you know what that means: We’ve developed extremely strong passions for athletes we’d never heard of before and decided which random countries we now hate.

So true..

The United States is not a cross-country skiing nation. We like the sports in which athletes whoosh downhill or do neat tricks, not sports that involve working one’s body to the point of physical exhaustion in an attempt to not lose to Scandinavians.

Wut ? C'mon yankees

Is that the Millennials takin over ?
