Team USA Already Collecting Gold, Bronze & Silver
Team USA currently has four medals at the PyeongChang Games – and our first gold medal came courtesy of 17-year-old Red Gerard in the men's snowboard slopestyle Saturday night. The second came yesterday when Chris Mazdzer finished second to win silver in men's luge singles.
Our next gold arrived last night – for those watching the delayed women’s slopestyle – from American snowboarder Jamie Anderson.
Team USA is also taking home the bronze medal from the figure skating team event with siblings and Maia and Alex Shibutani placing second in the ice dance free dance. But they got there with a little help from Mirai Nagasu (who finished second in the women's single free skate to earn the U.S. nine points) and Adam Rippon, who was third in the men's single free skate to grab eight points – sealing the deal for Team USA to finish third overall with a total of 62 points.
