Six gold medals are up for grabs on day four of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
All eyes will be on snowboarding legend Shaun White in the men's halfpipe final. The two-time Olympic champion finished with the top score in qualifying and is looking to reclaim the title after finishingfourth in Sochi.
Australia's Scotty James and Japan's Ayumu Hirano are strong contenders to beat White after both pulled off impressive double cork 1260s yesterday.
The figure skating moves into the pairs with the short program taking place this afternoon. The Chinese pair of Peng Cheng and Jin Yang are favourites for the event.
Speed skaters Peter Michael and Reyon Kay will turn their attention to New Zealand's team pursuit campaign after finishing outside the medals in the individual 1500m.
Michael followed his fourth place in the 5000m by finishing 14th, briefly in bronze medal position as the ninth two-man race of 18 through at the Winter Olympics on Tuesday.
All eyes were on Mirai Nagasu on Monday in PyeongChang when she became the first American woman to land a triple axel in the Olympics.
A lot of those eyes also drifted to a dark strip that read "USA" in big, bold letters on the inside of her right leg — and the theories started flying.
The North Korean cheerleaders that grabbed early headlines at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games may have met their match.
North Korea's parka-wearing "army of beauties" cheerleading squad, who are part of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's charm offensive, went viral on social media shortly after making their first appearance.
