Day 11 of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games kicks off with curling and biathlon in the morning. But don’t miss these events later on.

The team will have its work cut out for them in their first playoff game Friday.

Coming into the final two runs, the difference in time between the top five teams was incredibly narrow, setting up a wild finale.

The Dutch were Sochi’s gold medal victor in the event, however all eyes are on New Zealand’s Peter Michael who was the first speed skater from his country to win a World Cup event in 2016.

Bradie Tennell of the United States falls while competing during the Ladies Single Skating Short Program on day twelve of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Gangneung Ice Arena on February 21, 2018 in Gangneung, South Korea. Her team plays its last game against the Olympic athletes from Russian Federation later in the day.

Snowboarding – In Snowboarding, it’s men’s and women’s parallel giant slalom qualifying. The “gold” tier is not special for the Olympics and was introduced six months ago. “We will see more of him”, she said.

On the topic of her final Alpine run, she said, “It’s sad, this is my last downhill, I wish I could keep going”.

First, Haley Irwin got her stick on a Blayre Turnbull pass and sent it past into the Americans’ cage, tying the game at 1-1.

The Czech Republic eliminated the US men’s hockey team in a shootout in the quarterfinals. The Korean team’s head coach, the Canadian Sarah Murray, broke into tears as she watched her players salute the crowd and hugged North Korean coach Pak Chul ho.

MI native Madison Hubbell and her partner Zachary Donohue placed fourth in the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic games. Their road to PyeongChang hasn’t been easy.

South Korea was not originally scheduled to compete in the ski jumping team competition. Scrivens briefly remained in the game, but came out at the next stoppage. “But I’m sure my experience at the Olympics at home will drive me to get better”. Scrivens has carried the bulk of Canada’s load in goal in the tournament, but Poulin played in Canada’s 4-0 win over South Korea on Sunday.

Vonn won gold in the downhill at the 2010 Games in Vancouver but lost the opportunity to defend her title when a knee injury kept her out the 2014 Games in Sochi.
