24K Magic From Team USA

• The Westwood One crew is winging its way home, tired but satisfied after more than two weeks of extensive coverage in their capacity as the exclusive national radio partner of The XXIII Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea.

Laura Okmin, who co-hosted WWO’s nightly two-hour show, Today in PyeongChang, was fortunate enough to have some up-close-and-personal interaction with several members of Team USA, the human highlight reel that beat Team Canada in a wild shootout to win American’s first gold medal in women’s ice hockey since 1998.

Pictured, (l-r): Monique Lamoureux, who tied the game 2-2 on a beautiful breakaway with six minutes to go in the third period, sending the game to OT; 20-year-old goalie Maddie Rooney, who stopped Canada’s final shot; Jocelyne Lamoureux, who completely faked out Team Canada goalie Shannon Szabados with that now legendary “Oops, I Did I Again” move during the shootout that ended up being the game winner; Okmin; Team USA Captain Meghan Duggan and forward Hilary Knight, who scored the crucial first goal of the game.
