A lot happened in Day Four of the Winter Olympics in South Korea Some of the events are airing in primetime tonight, and we donât want to spoil anything, but here are four updates from earlier:
U.S. snowboarder Chloe Kim crushed everyone in the womenâs halfpipe to win Gold last night.
Her first run earned her a 93.75, and no one came close to beating it. But even though sheâd already won Gold, she still did her final runâĻand got a 98.25. Fellow American Arielle Gold ended up winning the Bronze.

Shaun White kicked off his fourth Olympics in the menâs halfpipe qualifying round last night, and made it into the finals with the top qualifying score on both runs. He qualified with a 93.25, then blew everyone away with a 98.50 on his second run.
The menâs halfpipe finals will air live in primetime tonight.

U.S. speedskater Brittany Bowe just missed out on a medal, finishing 5th in the womenâs 1,500 meter Long Track event. Thatâs our best finish for any Long Track event in the last eight years. She missed the Bronze by about 1.2 seconds.
Brittany still has three more events coming up. Sheâll compete in the 1,000 meter race today, then the 500m on Sunday, and the Team Pursuit event on Monday.
As of midnight last night, Norway was still leading the overall medal count with 9 medals. The U.S. was in 5th place with 6 medals, including 3 Gold. You can check out the updated medal count at NBCOlympics.com/medals.
