MILAN — The spectacular Olympics of American Jordan Stolz ended on a bit of a down note Saturday, whereas his teammate Mia Manganello capped her speedskating career on a high. The 21-year-old from Wisconsin had already won gold in the 500 and 1,000 meters, and a silver in the 1,500 heading into Saturday's race. However, Bergsma held onto the lead he built and became the oldest Olympic speedskating champion in history. Instead, the pack held back and the two skaters in the lead widened the gap. In the women's race, Manganello, in the final contest of her career, won bronze behind Dutch gold medalist Marijke Groenewoud and Canada's Ivanie Blondin.
