China's Ning Zhongyan set an Olympic record on his way to gold in the men's speed skating over 1,500 metres on Thursday, denying United States' Jordan Stolz a hat-trick of individual gold medals at the Milan/Cortina Winter Games.
The U.S. team featured Casey Dawson, Ethan Cepuran and Emery Lehman. Conor McDermott-Mostowy competed for the team in earlier rounds.
Stolz was trying to become the second American − Eric Heiden won five in 1980 − to win four individual medals in a single Winter Olympics.
