PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (RNN) - Bagels or Biscuits?
For the fifth time, the United States and Canada will meet in the gold medal game of women's hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Ambassadors to the United Nations from the two countries have placed a friendly wager on the game.
Marc-Andre Blanchard, the Canadian Ambassador to the UN, laid down the challenge on his Twitter account Wednesday afternoon. He put a dozen Montreal Bagels on the line.
