The games are on in PyeonChang and America is doing well. Chloe Kim took the Gold in snowboard halfpipe and the U.S. Figure Skating Team took Bronze in the team figure skating competition. Congratulations to all the American athletes who made the team and are competing. Once again, high winds have postponed skiing, with the women’s Giant Slalom also delayed; earlier the men’s downhill was postponed. So far, we have yet to see American medal hopefuls Mikaela Shiffrin (slalom, GS) and Lindsey Vonn (GS, downhill) ski. Events are tentatively re-scheduled for Thursday but the weather is a big factor.

That is background noise this week, however, because the Olympics are in progress.
