Friday marked one of the warmest days at this year's games with the mercury hitting 3 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit) at the mountain-top venues.
Swiss skiers earned goal medals in both the men's classical-style 15-kilometer race and the men's super-combined slalom. The haul gave the Swiss five golds, only two behind Germany.
Dario Cologna won the 15-kilometer race to earn his second gold of the games. Cologna, who had ankle surgery in November, won the 30-kilometer skiathlon on Sunday.
Nineteen-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan overcame a pair of falls to become the first Asian man to win an Olympic title in men's figure skating.
Sandro Viletta stunned the favorites to win the super-combined. Two top Americans, defending champ Bodie Miller and world champion Ted Ligety, failed to win a medal.

A look at Friday's events:
FIGURE SKATING: Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu won the gold despite two falls during his free skate routine, largely because of the lead he built up with his record-setting short program. Canadian Patrick Chan, skating after Hanyu, won the silver despite three errors. World silver medalist Denis Ten of Kazakhstan took bronze.
CROSS-COUNTRY: In men's 15km classic, Sweden's Johan Olsson captured the silver, finishing 28.5 seconds behind Switzerland's Dario Cologna. Another Swede, Daniel Richardsson, took bronze.
ALPINE SKIING: In men's super combined combined slalom, Switzerland's Sandro Viletta took gold. Viletta finished the downhill and slalom runs in a combined time of 2 minutes, 45.20 seconds. Ivica Kostelic of Croatia earned the silver and Christof Innerhofer of Italy got bronze.
BIATHLON: Darya Domracheva of Belarus earned her second gold medal of the games by winning the women's 15-kilometer individual race. Domracheva, who also won the 12.5K pursuit three days ago, missed one target before finishing in 43 minutes, 19.6 seconds. Selina Gasparin of Switzerland finished 1:15.7 behind to take silver. Nadezhda Skardino of Belarus got the bronze.
FREESTYLE SKIING: Alla Tsuper of Belarus pulled off a stunning upset to win gold in women's aerials. Tsuper beat a field that included defending Olympic champion Lydia Lassila of Australia and two-time Olympic medalist Li Nina of China. The 34-year-old Tsuper had never finished higher than fifth in four previous Olympics. Xu Mengtao of China won silver while Lassila earned bronze.
SKELETON: Lizzy Yarnold of Britain won gold in women's skeleton, beating rival Noelle Pikus-Pace of the United States by a full second. It was Britain's first gold medal in Sochi. Winning the silver allowed Pikus-Pace to reach her goal of closing out her career with an Olympic medal. Elena Nikitina of Russia won the bronze.
CURLING: China and Britain won close games in the men's tournament to move into a three-way tie with Sweden atop the 10-country field. China beat Norway 7-5, while Britain topped Denmark 8-6. In the women's tournament, China beat South Korea, Britain defeated Japan, Russia beat Switzerland, and Denmark topped the U.S., all but eliminating the Americans from the playoffs.
ICE HOCKEY: Canada topped Austria 6-0 in the preliminary rounds of men's hockey. Also, Sweden beat Switzerland 1-0, the Czech Republic downed Latvia 4-2 and Finland defeated Norway 6-1.
