Cochran-Siegle Leads Team USA in Giant Slalom

Finally healthy following a couple seasons of injuries and setbacks, Ryan Cochran-Siegle once again led Team USA, finishing tied for 11th, in the giant slalom at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games Sunday. Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah), the defending Olympic gold medalist, was 15th.
“I couldn’t have anticipated these results at all,” said Cochran-Siegle, who also led Team USA in super-G with a 15th-place finish. “I know that it’s the best in the world here, so to be able to perform and get these results is pretty outstanding for me. These were my career-best finishes in both events, so obviously when you go to the Olympics you want to perform at your best, but you also can’t really expect anything that you haven’t done before.”
Austria’s Marcel Hirscher absolutely blew away the field to win the gold medal, finishing more than a second ahead of silver medalist Henrick Kristoffersen of Norway. Alexis Pinturault of France claimed the bronze. Tommy Ford (Bend, Ore.) was 20th and Tim Jitloff (Reno. Nev.) did not complete his first run. … READ MORE / RESULTS

Goepper Puts Down Slope Silver
Nick Goepper (Lawrenceburg, Ind.) landed a stunning run on his final attempt to take silver on a day that many considered one of the strongest slopestyle skiing contests in history.
"Wow - today was incredible," said Goepper. "It was such a pleasure to be a part of the best slopestyle skiing contest in history. Qualifying was mind blowing and finals were two times that. To land my final run and come away with my second Olympic medal is a dream come true."
Norway's Oystein Braaten landed a 95.00 on his first run to take the gold. Goepper's 93.60 silver-medal run came on his third and final run with Canada's Alex Beaulieu-Marchand taking bronze with 92.40 on his second run.

Lillis Lands Eighth in Finals
Jon Lillis (Pittsford, N.Y.) represented Team USA in what was arguably one of the best men’s aerials contests in recent years on Sunday night at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Lillis was the top qualifier coming into the final jumps, but was unable to cleanly perform his jump in the second final, a full, full, double full, and finished eighth.
“It's obviously not the result I hoped for,” said Lillis. “My last jump wasn't the jump that I know I have inside of me somewhere. I just have to reflect on that and keep going. The fact that I was here and competed at the level that I did and landed all my jumps is something that I can go home and be proud of. Competing here and representing my country has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, so that's about as big of a win as you can ask for.” … READ MORE / RESULTS

"Wow - today was incredible," said Goepper. "It was such a pleasure to be a part of the best slopestyle skiing contest in history. Qualifying was mind blowing and finals were two times that. To land my final run and come away with my second Olympic medal is a dream come true."

A bronze medalist in Sochi as a part of the Team USA medals sweep, this time Goepper was on the podium alone. Teammate Gus Kenworthy (Telluride, Colo.), his body aching from training crashes, was 12th.

"It’s super disappointing to not put a run down in finals,” said Kenworthy. “I was feeling pretty good about my skiing but I had a lot of things working against me with my body after some crashes in training. But I’m honored to be a part of Team USA. I’m stoked for the boys who landed runs and will be on the podium - a crazy level of finals.”

Goepper talked about how important the 2018 Olympics were to him, knowing how tough it is to repeat. "I really just wanted to come here, lay it all out there and land a run - to feel I was accomplished. Everyone skied well. This is an incredibly fulfilling experience - even more so than Sochi."

McRae Williams (Park City, Utah) and Alex Hall (Salt Lake City) just missed finals.

Vonn Sixth as Ledecky Stuns Super-G Favorites
One mistake cost Lindsey Vonn (Vail, Colo.) a shot at another Olympic medal. But it was one fast snowboarder who took a second Olympic super-G gold away from Austria’s Anna Veith.
Ester Ledecka of the Czech Republic, the World Cup overall snowboard parallel giant slalom leader and the odds-on favorite for Olympic gold in PGS, came out of the 26th start position to win the super-G gold medal, and pick up her first-ever alpine skiing podium finish Saturday at the Jeongseon Alpine Centre Saturday. Veith, the defending Olympic super-G gold medalist took the silver, and Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein won the bronze, her first Olympic medal.
After an hour's delay due to high winds, Vonn, running bullet with bib 1, was well on her way to laying down a medal-contending run until she came in wide on the third to final gate, scrubbing precious speed before crossing the line.
“I thought running bib 1 was either going to be really great or really bad, and it didn’t quite turn out the way I’d hoped,” Vonn said. "I left it all out on the hill … I just made one mistake, and that cost me a medal. It’s ski racing, and that’s why it’s so difficult to win at the Olympics because literally, anything can happen.”
Downhill training starts Sunday leading up to Wednesday's Olympic downhill where Vonn will look to repeat her 2010 gold. … READ MORE / RESULTS

Maggie Voisin (Whitefish, Mont.) returned to the Olympics, finishing fourth, and Devin Logan (Mount Snow, Vt.) was 10th in slopestyle freeskiing Saturday at Phoenix Snow Park at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

“I had an injury four years ago and wasn’t able to compete at Sochi, that day four years ago I told myself I would do whatever it takes to get back to the 2018 games and here I am," Voisin said. "It was a rollercoaster over the last four years with a lot of ups and downs. I have to find the positive in every situation and it's a win in itself to just drop in at my first Olympics.”

On her final run, Switzerland's Sarah Hoefflin moved past her teammate Mathilde Gremaud to claim the gold medal, as Gremaud won the silver medal.

Voisin briefly moved into medal contention on her third run, but was surpassed by Great Britain's Isabel Atkin, who won the bronze medal.

“These past four years we have pushed the sport so far and just to be a part of it is huge," Voisin said. "It’s incredible to see how far the sport has come. I saw so many tricks that inspired me today, Sarah and Mathilde doing switch double corks, just so impressive. I can’t begin to tell you how honored I am to be a part of it and ski alongside these amazing athletes.”

Although Logan was unable to podium in slopestyle, she will have a second shot in PyeongChang in halfpipe. 

“It was the run I wanted to do, it just wasn’t the cleanest, the judges don’t like that," Logan said. "I am happy to be out here skiing in the finals. I wish it could have gone better. I will live and ski another day. I have halfpipe to look forward to and I am going to use that fire and just send it.”

Team USA Athletes Caroline Claire (Manchester Center, Vt.) and Darian Stevens (Missoula, Mont.) did not qualify for the finals. However, that doesn’t mean that their trip to PyeongChang is a let down by any means. For Stevens, it is about the journey.  

“The Olympics has been a life-changing experience for me," Steven said. "Going to the Olympics has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. I didn’t make the finals, but I made it here and that’s the hardest part. Making the U.S. Team is really tough and I was lucky enough to make it happen. In Sochi, I missed the team by one spot so it means the world just to be here."

Up next, the men's slopestyle freeskiing will take to the course at Phoenix Snow Park Sunday with the qualifying rounds at 10:00 a.m. KT / 8:00 p.m. EST Saturday. The finals begin at 1:15 p.m. KT / 11:15 p.m. EST Saturday.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.), the defending slalom gold medalist from the 2014 Sochi Games, just missed the podium, finishing fourth, in Friday’s slalom at Yongpyong Alpine Centre.
“It’s not about the medals, it’s about how I feel on my skis,” Shiffrin said. “And today I didn’t feel like myself. Coming here today and skiing real conservative was a huge, huge disappointment.”
Shiffrin struggled to find her rhythm on her first run, finishing fourth almost a half-second off the pace set by Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener. She found her groove on the second run, only to make a costly mistake near the bottom of the course that cost her precious time.
“I know I have the best slalom turns in the world, but I didn’t put it out in the two runs where it mattered,” Shiffrin added. “Sometimes I feel like in slalom that the only one who can beat me in slalom is me. And I beat myself in the wrong way today.” … READ MORE / RESULTS

She missed the landing, but finished an impressive sixth in her first Olympics. It was the best U.S. women’s performance Nikki Stone won in Calgary in 1998.
“That was my first time doing that jump on snow, so I was definitely really nervous,” said Olsen. “But, I figured, why not do it in the super final at the Olympics? I could have hit a little bit of a better take off. I got into my twist and when I came out to land, I was just a bit under rotated. I’ll get it next time! I was really just enjoying the moment.

ALPINE
Biesemeyer Injured In Downhill Training
Team USA downhill skier Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, N.Y.) suffered a season-ending right ankle injury during downhill training on Wednesday. He was taken by team medical staff to a local clinic, where he was treated and released. He will not compete in the men’s downhill. His place in the race will be taken by Ryan Cochran-Siegle (Starksboro, Vt.).
For Biesemeyer, it was a heartbreaking injury on the eve of his first Olympic event.
"I wonder why this happens. It is hard to not think if there is a deeper meaning to it all. You are supposed to be optimistic in times like these and say something like, ‘I will come back stronger than ever.’ But I just can't bring myself to do it. I am honored to have been named to Team USA and walking in the Opening Ceremony is a moment I’ll never forget.”
The men’s downhill is schedule to start Thursday at 11:30 a.m. KT / 9:30 p.m. EST Wednesday. Scheduled to start for Team USA are Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley, Calif.), Jared Goldberg (Holladay, Utah), Maple Wiley (Aspen, Colo.) and Cochran-Siegle.

Women’s Slalom Postponed To Friday
Due to strong winds at the Alpensia Alpine Centre, the 2018 Olympic Winter Games women’s slalom has been postponed to Friday. The first run starts at 10:00 a.m. KT / 8:00 p.m. EST Thursday, and second run starts at 1:15 p.m. KT / 11:15 p.m. EST Thursday. Men's super-G start will be at 11:00 a.m. KT / 9:00 p.m. EST Thursday.
Despite the postponements, athletes and staff remain optimistic. “It is definitely unfortunate that we weren’t able to race today, but it is important we have a fair race for all of the athletes and today’s conditions would definitely not have been fair," said Mikaela Shiffrin. "Weather delays and postponements are just the nature of an outdoor sport, but we’ll continue to take it day by day and I look forward to getting in the start gate!”
Head Women's Coach Paul Kristofic agreed that, though this is a bummer, it is not entirely abnormal as ski racing is a sport that relies on Mother Nature to cooperate. "We’ve been through days like this before, in World Cup, quite often and the number one thing is safety and the second thing is to have a good, fair race," noted Kristofic. "So neither of those were achievable today. Now we’re going to get ready for giant slalom, so there’s going to be giant slalom training this afternoon. We roll with the punches and make the best of the situation and try to prepare the best we can for the next day.”

Women’s Giant Slalom Thursday
The women’s slalom is scheduled for Thursday, with a first run start time of 10:00 a.m. KT / 8:00 p.m. EST Wednesday. The second run is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. KT / 11:45 p.m. EST Wednesday. Starting for Team USA are Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.), Resi Stiegler (Jackson Hole, Wyo.), Tricia Mangan (Buffalo, N.Y.) and Megan McJames (Park City, Utah.).

FREESKIING
Team USA Freeskiing Athletes Arrive At Games

Members of the Team USA halfpipe freeskiing team arrived in at the Games following a training block in Japan that turned into days of powder skiing.
"We actually went over to Japan for a training session, which quickly turned into powder skiing and we can’t really complain about that,” Aaron Blunck (Crested Butte, Colo.) said. “It definitely put our heads in a great place moving into the Games."
Upon their arrival to PyeongChang, the team had a chance to witness Shaun White winning his third Olympic halfpipe snowboarding gold medal. It was clear his performance lit a fire under the freeski athletes.
"Shaun set the bar and now it’s time for us to see if we can match it,” said defending halfpipe freeskiing gold medalist David Wise (Reno, Nev.) “I feel very grateful to have been there and cheer the team on.”
Freeskiing halfpipe competition kicks off Monday with the women’s qualifying. The men’s qualifying is scheduled for Tuesday.

FREESKI
Freeski Athletes ‘Thrilled’ to Kick Off Games

The U.S. slopestyle team participated in their arrival press conference Sunday and it was clear that all the athletes are excited for training and competition to commence.
"It's an honor to be here, I'm excited to represent myself, my friends, my family and my country in two events and be the first athlete to do that,” said Sochi silver medalist Devin Logan (West Dover, Vt.). “I'm thrilled and hopefully I can bring home another Olympic medal."
For some, the PyeongChang Olympics are a chance at redemption, including Maggie Voisin (Whitefish, Mont.), who battled an injury at the Sochi Games.
“On the third day of training I fractured my fibula right above my ankle and I was not able to compete, which was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my career,” Voisin said. “I told myself that day four years ago that I was going to do whatever it took to make it back and to be sitting here with these incredible athletes that make up Team USA, I'm honored and ready to represent our country and show the world what we do." Nick Goepper (Lawrenceburg, Ind.) echoed that sentiment looking to improve his performance from the last Olympic games.
"I won a bronze medal in Sochi, and I would be lying if I said that I am not coming into this competition with a small chip on my shoulder," Goepper said.
Competition begins Friday with slopestyle freeskiing at 10:00 a.m. KT / 8 p.m. EST Thursday, with ladies qualifications. Men's competition will take place on February 18th.

Kauf Leads Team USA in Seventh

Team USA advanced all four athletes to the moguls finals Sunday night after Tess Johnson (Vail, Colo.) won the second qualification run at the Phoenix Snow Park to join her three teammates in this evening's final round.
With heavy snow falling during the second run of the finals, Team USA skied well but came up short with Jaelin Kauf (Alta, Wyo.) just missing out on qualifying for the third final run - finishing seventh. Keaton McCargo (Telluride, Colo.) was eighth, Johnson finished 12th with Morgan Schild (Pittsford, N.Y.) in 15th.
The men will have second qualifying run prior to the finals on Monday night. Troy Murphy (Bethel, Maine) qualified for the finals following his fourth-place finish in the first qualifying round Friday. Casey Andringa (Boulder, Colo.), Bradley Wilson (Butte, Mont.) and Emerson Smith (Dover, Vt.) will compete for a spot in the finals at 7:30 p.m. KT / 5:30 a.m. EDT Monday.

Patterson 18th In Skiathlon
Scott Patterson (Anchorage, Alaska) led the way for Team USA, finishing 18th as the men opened with a 30k skiathlon in the 2018 Olympic Winter Games Sunday afternoon at the Alpensia Cross Country Skiing Center.
“My first Olympic race was awesome,” said Patterson. “You know, World Cup-Olympic, they are kind of similar, and then you get here and they’re nothing at all the same.”
Patterson was 27th at the midway point of the 30-kilometer race, which featured 15k of classic, followed by 15k of freestyle, when the athletes switched from the classic to the freestyle technique.
“The first couple of laps the pack really spread out and then I relaxed,” Patterson said. “We switched over to skate and really felt like I knew what I was doing. Then just picked off a few people and put together a great race overall.” … READ MORE / RESULTS

SNOWBOARD
Red Gerard Wins Slopestyle Gold

Red Gerard (Silverthorne, Colo.) stomped the run of his life to win Team USA’s first gold medal of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games Sunday in slopestyle snowboarding.
"When that score came up my jaw dropped," said Gerard, who is the youngest Olympic snowboarding gold medalist ever. "I was like ‘this isn’t real’. I would have been happy to just land a run, but to land a run and win, it’s crazy."
Sitting well out of medal contention after crashing out on his first two of three runs, Gerard absolutely nailed his third run with a score of 87.16 and withstood a stout challenge from Canada's Max Parrot, whose third and final run score of 86.00 was good enough for silver. Parrot's teammate, Mark McMorris, tallied an 85.20 on his second run for his second consecutive Olympic bronze medal. "I’m just insanely excited right now," said Gerard, "I can’t believe it all worked out. I just wanted to land a run. After falling on my second run, I was really excited for the third run."
