Chloe Kim settles for silver; South Koreaโ€™s 17-year-old Choi Ga- wins gold. What a final run to grab the gold at the end.

Team USA sits 7th in total medal count so far, but plenty of events coming in the next 24 hours to change that around.

Team USA picks up another gold. This time in Figure Skating. It's the second consecutive gold medal for Team USA in the team Figure Skating.

Just thinking about how incredible Breezy Johnson's story is. She missed the Olympics back in 2022 due to a severe knee injury that she suffered on the same course she won gold.

UNREAL STUFF.

What an effort by Breezy Johnson. Gold in the Downhill!! She became the first US woman to win gold since Vonn back in 2010

However, gutted for Lindsay Vonn. Wish her a speedy recovery

So Lindsey Vonn is going to ski with a ruptured ACL at 41. Meanwhile, I'm in my 20's and when I walk around my ankle and knee feel awful.

If she wins a medal. That would be insane!!!!!
