Olympic Speedskating Schedule 2018: Updated Info for Men, Women Events

The United States' hunt for its first medal in speedskating since 2010 has been unsuccessful so far, but there's hope that will change during the second week of competition at Gangneung Oval.

The women's medal drought, which extends back to 2002, is in danger of continuing after Heather Bergsma took eighth in her two best events, the 1,000- and 1,500-meters.

Over on the men's side, anticipation is building ahead of the mass start, an event in which Joey Mantia is the favorite to take gold.

While the Americans have struggled in most events, the Netherlands has flexed its muscle with six different athletes winning gold in seven speedskating events in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
