The Comm and Gender Spot: Day 13

Day twelve of the Winter Olympics saw more information starting to come out from the police raid on the Austrian biathlon and cross-country skiing team's living quarters, though no athletes from the Austrian team have as of yet been eliminated from the Winter Olympic Games for doping violations. In addition, two of the top teams in the men’s ice hockey competition, the United States and Canada, were eliminated from the competition with playoff losses.
