Finland has defeated the ROC 2-1 to win gold in men’s ice hockey at the National Indoor Stadium in the 2022 Winter Games.
While the ROC looked to claim back-to-back gold after wining in PyeongChang, Finland claimed the first-ever Olympic hockey gold medal in the country’s history.
ROC won silver and Slovakia took third place to claim the Bronze medal, their first-ever Olympic medal in the event.
Finland has always been in the medal mix, but has not played for a gold medal since the 2006 Torino Games. Now, they have finally reached the pinnacle of international hockey, winning the second gold medal in Beijing for the country and the first-ever gold medal in a team sport.
The Finns also have two silver medals in men’s Olympic ice hockey (1988 & 2006) and four Bronze medals (1994, 1998, 2010, 2014).
