"Ilia Malinin hasn't been at his best but still clinched the gold medal for the USA in team figure skating and has a substantial lead in the men's event. Mikaela Shiffrin had a puzzling first race here. Jordan Stolz has the first gold in a potential hat trick. Jessie Diggins took bronze today in a gutsy performance that left her moaning and holding her bruised ribs in agony after she crossed the finish line."
"American snowboarder Chloe Kim has become the first woman to successfully defend the Olympic halfpipe title, soaring to an untouchable lead with a gigantic opening run and cruising to a historic repeat gold. Kim, dropping in last among the 12 competitors to qualify for Thursday morning's final, set the bar with a huge first run which included two 1080s and three spins down the course known as the Secret Garden Olympic Halfpipe,"
"And now, it's Chloe Kim, who isn't showing any aftereffects from a recent torn labrum. She looked spectacular in qualifying, and who knows what she'll have planned today. As in all Olympic halfpipe competitions, she's certainly not the only snowboarder to watch. This one is going to be fun. Action starts in about 52 minutes. Share Beau will be here shortly. In the meantime, here's how Chloe Kim won her last Olympic title, in 2022:"
