Gold Rush For Americans On Pyeongchang's Slopes As Skier Mikaela Shiffrin Wins USA's Fifth Gold
At this year's Winter Olympics, young stars are making big statements across a number of events. Mikaela Shiffrin, 22, took home gold in the giant slalom last night. It's the young skier's second gold in two Olympics.

Foley also discusses the 2018 Winter Games' slump in viewers. He says that streaming has made viewing the Games confusing for many people. No one is really sure where or when they can watch each event.
