Seizing the moment with Shaun White on NBC

NEW YORK (AP) — Highlights from media coverage of the Pyeongchang Olympics:

THE OLYMPIC MOMENT: "You can't script this any better," NBC's Todd Harris said as Shaun White prepared for a final run at his third gold medal in the halfpipe. That's for sure. White's pressure-filled performance on the snowboard likely will be the most-remembered moment of the Pyeongchang Games for an American television audience. NBC seized that moment, mostly by letting it breathe. The camera focused on White as he psyched himself up for his performance and, afterward, as he waited for the score — creating exquisite tension that Harris and colleague Todd Richards didn't intrude upon.
