"Kim will compete in the women's snowboard halfpipe final with a chance to become the first snowboarder to win three straight Olympic gold medals. She qualified for the final on Wednesday while racing with a brace on her left shoulder due to a torn labrum suffered last month. The 25-year-old still managed to finish first, setting up a potential date with destiny. Shaun White is the only Olympian to ever win three gold medals in the snowboard halfpipe competition, but he didn't secure them consecutively."
"The preliminary round for men's ice hockey begins with the U.S. and Canada among countries in action. The U.S. team hasn't won gold in men's Olympic hockey since 1980, but this year it's gold medal or bust. "That's the expectation," captain Auston Matthews said. Elsewhere in Milan Cortina, the men's freestyle skiing moguls finals take place with Americans Nick Page and Dylan Walczyk in the running, and men's snowboard cross qualifications and finals will be held."
