The Winter Olympics are off to a flying start after an eventful first weekend in Italy.

Dutch speedskater Jutta Leerdam won the 1,000 meters on Monday, setting a new Olympic record in the process. Her time of 1:12.31 broke the record that teammate Femke Kok had set just minutes earlier in the competition. Kok finished with the silver.

Monday's action also included the slopestyle final in freestyle skiing, which was won by defending champion Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland. China's Eileen Gu finished with the silver.

Another Swiss athlete, alpine skier Franjo von Allmen, won his second gold medal of these Games as he and Tanguy Nef finished first in the combined event on Monday. Von Allmen already has a gold from the downhill event that he won on Saturday.

For the next two weeks, the best athletes from around the world will be competing for gold in 16 sports. We’re sure to see more inspiring moments and record-breaking performances.
