VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The U.S. delegation went into Tuesday with eight medals, already one-third of the way to its total haul in Turin.

At day's end, the Americans were still stuck on eight.

Five events were up for grabs, a total of 15 medals, and the Americans didn't come any closer than Lindsey Jacobellis winning a consolation race for fifth place in women's snowboardcross.

Germany got four to vault to the top of the medals race with nine.

Germany and South Korea also came out of Tuesday will three golds, matching Switzerland for the most. The Americans are stuck on two.

The good news for the United States is that headliners Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White, Shani Davis and Apolo Anton Ohno are competing Wednesday.
