Sunday Night Picks
United States vs. Finland (Ice Hockey)
The U.S. team will be out to book their place in the final for ice hockey on Sunday night as they take on Finland. The two teams have already met in the group stages of the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, with the U.S. team winning 3-1, meaning they will be favourites to progress to the final.
The U.S. team were forced to come from behind against Finland with goals from Monique Lamoureux-Morando, Kendall Coyne and Dani Cameranesi giving them victory. However, the team have been struggling for goals and have been working hard in training on creating goalscoring chances, according to Kevin Allen at USA Today.
The United States have still enjoyed a good tournament, also beating the Olympic Athletes of Russia 5-0 before losing 2-1 to Canada. Dan Wolken at USA Today noted how wasteful in front of goal they were in that match:
Coach Robb Stauber will hope his side can be more clinical in attack against Finland with the team now just two wins away from taking home the gold medal.
Figure Skating (Ice Dance Short Dance)
The figure skating also continues on Sunday with the focus now on ice dance at the Gangneung Ice Arena. The short dance program sees Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir going for their third Olympic gold medal, and they will be heavy favourites to finish top of the podium.
The duo have already helped Canada win gold in the team event in South Korea, to go with the gold they won at the 2010 Vancouver Games. NBC Olympics showed the kind of form they have been in already at the Winter Olympics:
They will face competition from the U.S. brother and sister duo of Maia and Alex Shibutani. The pair have already claimed a bronze in South Korea in the team event, which Alex was quick to show off:
French duo Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron may also be in contention for a medal, but anything other than a gold for Virtue and Moir will be a surprise.
Freestyle Skiing (Women's Halfpipe)
Maddie Bowman kicks off the defence of her Olympic gold in the women's halfpipe on Sunday. The American won gold at the 2014 Sochi Games and is part of a strong U.S team that also features Devin Logan and Brita Sigourney.
Canada's Cassie Sharpe will also be one to watch, as will France's Marie Martinod, who took a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Games
