Finland's women finally took the ice on Saturday in a 5-0 loss to the United States after having their first Olympic game postponed due to a norovirus outbreak.

Thursday's group clash with Canada was put back by a week after the Finns did not have enough fit players due to the stomach bug.

Hilary Knight scored to tie the US Olympic women's goal record at 14 in her fifth Olympics.

The Group A game was watched by US Vice President JD Vance, who was also at Friday's opening ceremony.
