In her Olympic debut, 20-year-old Bradie Tennell placed fifth in the ladies single skating short program, adding six points to the team's score.

Korean speed skater wins host country's first gold medal
Lim Hyo-jun won South Korea's first gold medal in men's 1,500-meter short track, setting off a huge roar from the crowd at Gangneung Ice Arena.
Lim surged past Sjinkie Knegt of the Netherlands and finished about two blade lengths ahead in an Olympic-record time of 2 minutes, 10.485 seconds. Knegt settled for the silver medal, while the bronze went to Semen Elistratov, who became Russia's first medalist of the games.
USA's Maame Biney smiling after advancing in the 500m short-track
American teenager Maame Biney advanced safely through to the quarterfinals of the short track 500 meters, and she lit up when talking about her first Olympic experience.
“I don’t know why I smile so much,” Biney told USA TODAY Sports in a recent interview. “I guess it's always been my thing. Whenever I am sad I always go make myself smile again. I don't like feeling sad. It's not a fun feeling.”
Biney was born in Ghana and moved to the U.S. as a 5-year-old. She was the first African-American woman to qualify for the U.S. Olympic speed skating team.
Historic combined Korean hockey team loses first game
The Korean women's hockey team, the first in Olympic history to combine players from North and South, was defeated 8-0 by Switzerland on Saturday in its debut game. But the moment was too important to be overshadowed by a loss.
"I think a unified one is stronger than two divided ones ... If North and South Korea will send unified teams on sports and all other sectors, we'll have good results," North Korean player Jong Su Hyon said after the game.
