USA forward Hilary Knight has described her side's defeat to Canada in the final of the women's ice hockey at the 2014 Winter Olympics as "heartbreaking".
The Americans went 2-0 up at one stage, but allowed their opponents to stage a comeback and win the contest 3-2 in overtime in Sochi.
"Unfortunately, when you let other factors come in, it can bounce either way," The AP quotes the 24-year-old as saying.
"That's what happened today. It's heartbreaking, and you go four years, and you think you've got the game in the bag, and something happens.
"It's unfortunate, but this group has represented our country at an outstanding level. So can't really be too heartbroken about it."
Switzerland won the bronze medal by defeating Sweden 4-3.
