Over to the mountains of Pyeongchang, and the final of the men's halfpipe snowboard event. Shaun White, dubbed the flying tomato, due to his long flowing man of red hair in his youth, looking to get back on top of the podium. The American won this event in 2006, and 2010, but a fourth place finish in Sochi left a sour taste in his mouth, and he was looking to reclaim his spot as the top snowboarder in the world.

White usurps Japan's Ayumu Hirano in his final run, to claim his third Olympic gold with a score of 97.75. It's the 100th medal for the US at the Winter Games. Australia's flag bearer Scotty James earns bronze for his first Olympic medal.

Over on the women's side yesterday, China's Liu Jiayu earns 89.75 points to take the silver with American Chloe Kim capturing the gold with a score of 98.25 points.

Marcel Hirscher of Austria wins the men's Alpine combined slalom with a combined time of two minutes 6.52 seconds, just months after breaking his ankle. Alexis Pinturault takes silver with fellow Frenchman Victor Muffat Jeandet clinching bronze.

Stina Nilsson of Sweden wins the women's sprint classic after a time of 3 minutes and 3.84 seconds in a six-member final. Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla is second.

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo wins the cross-country men's sprint classic. At 21, he is the youngest gold-medal winner in men's cross-country skiing at the Olympics. Italian Federico Pellegrino finishes second, Alexander Bolshunov, representing the Olympic athletes of Russia is the bronze medalist.  

Canada's John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes are crowned the first Olympics mixed doubles curling champions after a 10-3 blowout win over world champions Switzerland. German Natalie Geisenberger wins the women's luge singles title.

Italian Short track skater Arianna Fontana, a five-time Olympic medalist, claimed her first gold, winning the women's 500m final. South Korea's Choi Min-jeong originally finished second but was disqualified, so Yara Van Kerkhof of the Netherlands is bumped up to silver and Kim Boutin of Canada the bronze. Later Boutin received death threats because of the ruling.

A look at the medal table sees the Germans still on top with five gold. The Americans now have four gold after Shaun White's triumph, even with the Netherlands. Norway and Canada round out the top five.
