Shiffrin's Pyeongchang Debut in Giant Slalom Postponed

Shiffrin became a breakout American star at the Sochi Olympics, where she became the youngest-ever Olympic slalom champion at age 18. She’s looking to add a lot more hardware this time.
Now 22, Shiffrin has committed to skiing both the giant slalom and the slalom In Pyeongchang, and she might add the other three individual women’s races. Last year, Shiffrin became the first woman to win three consecutive slalom world titles in 78 years.
Up first for Shiffrin: The giant slalom. She’ll look to better her fifth-place finish in the event from the 2014 Olympics. She won a silver medal in the giant slalom in the 2017 World Championships.

Adam Rippon Hopes to Lead Team USA to Team Gold
America’s hopes for a gold medal in the figure skating team event took a hit when one of its stars, Nathan Chen, fell during his Olympic debut on Friday. If Team USA hopes to finish atop the podium, it will need a strong performance from one of its other stars, Adam Rippon.
Rippon will represent the U.S. in the men’s free skate, one of three events to be held Monday (Sunday night in the U.S.) to complete the Team Event. The women’s free skate and the ice dance free dance are the other two.

5-Time Olympian Kelly Clark Competing in Halfpipe Snowboarding
With the Winter Olympics upon us, many fans in Vermont will be glued to the women’s snowboard halfpipe, to see a local favorite return for her fifth Winter Games.
Halfpipe snowboarder Kelly Clark won an Olympic gold medal in Salt Lake City in 2002, a bronze medal in Vancouver in 2010, and another bronze in Sochi in 2014.
"I loved growing up in Vermont," the athlete, who hails from West Dover, recently told NBC during the lead-up to the Winter Games in South Korea.
Clark also told NBC that growing up in Vermont gets one ready for anything, suggesting there’s a certain resourcefulness and toughness that come from an upbringing in the Green Mountain State.

USA’s Bergsma Shoots for Gold in 1500-Meter Speed Skating
Heather Bergsma entered the 1500-meter speed skating race in the Sochi Olympics as a medal favorite — but she struggled, finishing seventh. In the four years since, the American speed skater has done much to put those struggles behind her - including setting the world record in November 2015.
She still holds that record. On Monday, she’ll get a chance at Olympic redemption in Pyeongchang.
She’ll have stiff competition - Japan’s Miho Takagi and the Netherland’s Ireen Wust are other top contenders. Bergsma beat Wust and Takagi at the 2017 World Championships. Wust already won a silver medal in Pyeongchang, in the 3000-meter race.
Watch live on digital platforms on Monday at 7:30 a.m. ET. Also watch the race as part of NBC’s primetime coverage Monday night at 8pm ET.
