U.S. skater John-Henry Krueger claims Olympic silver in 1000 meters short track
Samuel Girard yelled and signaled No. 1 with both index fingers as he crossed the finish line first. Just behind him, John-Henry Krueger spread his arms in a can-you-believe-it gesture.The Canadian and the American claimed gold and silver in the men's 1,000-meter short track Saturday, upsetting the powerful South Koreans.Girard and Krueger raced to celebrate with their coaches on the sideline. Krueger sank to his knees on the ice, head in hands, still stunned at winning the first U.S. speedskating medal of the Pyeongchang Olympics."There were so many thoughts rushing through my head," Krueger said.

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — The miserable, biting cold and wind whipping through the Taebaek Mountains has subsided, giving way to sun-splashed mornings and pleasantly brisk temperatures. The norovirus outbreak that sent dozens into violent stomach illness has seemingly been contained. The agenda-wielding political figures have vacated the premises, yielding the Olympic stage to the athletes.
Mettle to medal: Krueger perseveres to podium in 1,000 meters
His silver is first U.S. individual medal in short-track speedskating since Vancouver.Krueger, 22, won the silver medal in the 1,000-meter short-track speedskating, becoming the first American man to win an individual short-track medal since Vancouver.
This game in my opinion is insulting to fans of the first game. If you loved the first Last of Us game In my opinion , this game needlessly tears down the characters of the first game and what made the Solid game play and creates an amazing world, but the story is completely lackluster , and devoid of

At the halfway mark, these Winter Games seem to be going about as smoothly as these things can go. South Korea has pulled it off with next-to-no drama and very few complaints.
But one thing has been noticeably disappointing about this first week. Where are the American medals?
Chants of “USA! USA!” have, to a large degree, been muted. The Star-Spangled Banner has been overwhelmed by “Ja, vi elsker dette landet,” “Deutschlandlied,” and even “O Canada” on medal stands from Gangneung to Jeongseon.

Some hockey players in these Winter Olympics could make way to NHL
Here are some NHL prospects taking part in the Games to keep an eye on, as well as some former stars who may return to the league.“Eeli is a great player with an unbelievable shot,” Finland coach Lauri Marjamaki said. “He brings us so much, his open-minded game and fearless (style). The whole atmosphere is exciting because Eeli is on our team.

The two gold medals from the 1912 Olympic Games that Jim Thorpe was forced to return almost 70 years ago after he admitted he had once been paid to play Thorpe' s Olympic feats, and subsequent loss of medals , gave a poignant aspect to the larger-than-life heroics that surrounded the legendary
Sure, there have been some bright spots. Shaun White’s gold medal run in the halfpipe was arguably the most captivating moment of the entire Olympics. Chris Mazdzer’s unexpected silver in luge was a delight. Chloe Kim and Red Gerard announced themselves as fresh-faced snowboarding stars.
And, who knows, maybe the second week will bring a turnaround. The Olympics have a way of delivering surprises, dramatic moments and compelling storylines. But from a U.S. perspective, the buzz for these Games was flat coming in and is yet to exceed expectations.
Thank goodness for figure skater Adam Rippon, whose feud with Vice President Pence has at least provided a cultural flashpoint for Team USA. But even his celebrity turn here masks a sad truth: In a sport where the Americans have put forward exceptional Olympic performers for decades on both the men’s and women’s side, they’ve felt like a non-factor except for the bronze won in the team event. With Nathan Chen’s disastrous short program taking him out of contention, a medal in men’s singles is highly unlikely, and the women’s singles next week looks like a major longshot, too.
Myhrer wins Olympic slalom at 35 as favorites ski out
With the favorites failing to finish the race, Swedish skier Andre Myhrer won the Olympic gold medal in men's slalom on Thursday.Myhrer watched as first-run leader Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway, holding a 0.21-second advantage, skied out early in the second run. Marcel Hirscher of Austria, this season's top slalom skier, failed to even finish the first run.

Meanwhile, anointed pre-Olympics breakout star Mikaela Shiffrin has already had to lower the bar on her goals, with a shocking fourth-place finish Friday in her best event, the women's slalom. A week ago, Shiffrin was gunning for five golds. Instead, she’s already pulled out of the Super G, which got rescheduled due to weather delays, and now might skip the downhill, too. Shiffrin has a gold in the giant slalom, so it’s not a total bust, but any high-end projections for the U.S. medal count certainly had her contributing more.
Indeed, as things stand now, Team USA has eight total medals – down from 13 at this same point in the Games four years ago in Sochi – and well behind Norway (19), Germany (15), Canada (13) and the Netherlands (13).
Even more revealing is that five of those medals came in snowboarding – the sport we invented!
While the Winter Olympics is going to always be more of a challenge than the Summer Games for the U.S. to pile up medals, the trend has been positive for the past four Olympics, starting with the concerted effort to perform well on home soil in Salt Lake City. It grew from there to the high point of 2010 with a nation-leading 37 total medals. And in retrospect, 2014 was terrific, too, finishing only one behind the Russians, who we now know were running a massive doping operation.
What you missed in the thrilling Day 13 of the Olympics and what to watch Thursday night
There was no shortage of drama on the busiest day in the history of the 2018 Winter Games and shouldn't be for one of the Games' last big events on Thursday night. While we said goodbye (maybe) to Lindsey Vonn early Thursday morning, we'll say hello to a new women's figure skating gold medalist late Thursday night. Take a deep breath, pour some coffee and catch up on what you missed and prepare for what's to come on Thursdsay night. Skiing: Oh, Lindsey. Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey. Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey. With a chance to end her Olympic career on a rare high note, the world's greatest skier looked set for the Disney ending.

In fact, 44% of the Winter Olympics medals the United States has ever won came in the previous four Games.
But to keep that momentum going, you need a next generation of Winter Olympics stars to come behind legends like medal machine Bode Miller, speedskater Shani Davis and snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis (who just missed the podium Friday in snowboard cross). They haven’t shown up here yet.
Meanwhile, some of the athletes Team USA was hoping to introduce to the world – Chen, speedskater Maame Biney, biathlon racer Lowell Bailey, cross-country skier Jessie Diggins, the mixed doubles curling siblings from Wisconsin – haven’t risen to the occasion yet.
The Olympics are still great, of course, and quirky as ever. Between the mysterious North Korean cheerleaders popping up at various events, the Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump lookalikes, Rippon’s Twitter feed and the shirtless Tongan flag-bearer (again), there’s been plenty to pique our interest.
But as these Games turn into the home stretch, a few more American medals would be nice.
