Three medal events as Pyeongchang takes a breath
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea - There are only three medal events on Monday as the Alpine skiers take a break from competition. The gold on offer comes via the two-man bobsleigh, the men's long hill team event in ski jumping and the men's 500 metres in speed skating. Semi-final places are coming within reach in ice hockey and curling. Not such good news for the organisers, however, is a second positive doping test, this time for a Russian.
