Ivanka Trump takes in big air snowboarding at 2018 Winter Olympics

Her first competition stop Saturday was the men's snowboard big air final, which included three American riders. Among them was Red Gerard, who brought home the first gold for the USA two weeks earlier in slopestyle.

Trump arrived in the South Korean capital Friday to serve as the honorary leader of the U.S. delegation at the 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony.

White House Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders and Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) held an open press gaggle at USA House in the Yongpyong Resort before the U.S. delegation attended their first event for the day.

She was chatting with members of the delegation including South Korea First Lady Kim Jung-suk, while watching from the box.
