The 2022 Winter Olympics are winding down, but some athletes are still there, showing off the Olympic Village and the events they’re attending. When you’re not watching the Winter Games on Peacock or your local station, be sure to follow these U.S. athletes for the latest and get a taste of the last bits of action. The U.S. women’s...

American snowboarder Maddie Mastro has sketched out a trick in her notebook that just may help her land on the podium at the Beijing Olympics

Maddie Mastro is accustomed to being judged while flying through the air in snowboard halfpipe, but when at home, her four rescue dogs keep her grounded, because they don’t give or get any points for style.

Every culture has a number considered unlucky because of superstitions. In the United States it’s 13. In South Korea, it’s four. The reason behind the fear of the number four, known as tetraphobia, lies in the way it sounds. The Korean word for “four” sounds much like the word for “death.” Americans competing in Pyeongchang are learning that you don’t...

Gold medal already in hand and Olympic dream fully realized, Chloe Kim could have turned her third and final run in the women’s snowboarding final into a victory lap. Only she didn’t. She couldn’t. Gold medals are nice and all, but to the 17-year-old star, the journey is the point, not the destination. It’s about proving something. Not to quiet...

Southern California native Chloe Kim got the highest score of the event with an impressive 95.50 points securing her place in the finals alongside teammates Kelly Clark, Maddie Mastro and Arielle Gold. Watch the finals on Feb. 13.

All four Americans are through to the finals in women’s halfpipe snowboarding. Chloe Kim, 17, posted the top score during qualifying Monday to earn the top seed in Tuesday’s final. Maddie Mastro was fourth in qualifying, with 2002 Olympic champion Kelly Clark 11th and Arielle Gold 12th.

Ask snowboarder Chloe Kim what she thinks the “Chloe Kim Story” really is this year and she hesitates just a moment, before deciding on “The California girl that went to the Olympics.” It’s perfect, easy, and oh-so-fitting for the 17-year-old from Torrance, California, who loves music and the mall almost as much as she loves stomping her runs — and...

Kelly Clark qualified for her fifth Olympics with a victory in the season’s final halfpipe qualifier.

Shaun White made the U.S. Olympic team in grand fashion — scoring a perfect 100 at the U.S. Grand Prix event to set himself up as a favorite to win a third gold medal. White’s winning run Saturday included two of the toughest tricks on the halfpipe — the Double McTwist 1260 that he patented and the frontside double cork 1440.

U.S. snowboarder Kelly Clark knows what it’s like to compete with the best despite being one of the oldest in the sport. It’s no surprise that she takes inspiration from NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who continues to excel with the New England Patriots despite his many years in the league.

Shaun White discusses growing up in snowboarding as a young athlete and how being an “outsider” always helped him show he had something to prove.
