Snowboarders, freeskiers get last Olympic qualifying chance
Many stars already qualified for PyeongChang — Shaun White, Chloe Kim, Jamie Anderson among them — but three Olympic gold medalists go into the last U.S. snowboard/freeski qualifier this week with work to do.
Two of them are in the same event.
Kelly Clark and Hannah Teter, the 2002 and 2006 Olympic snowboard halfpipe champions, are in different places.
Clark, 34, is trying to break her own record as the oldest U.S. halfpipe rider in Olympic history.
She can also join cross-country skier Kikkan Randall (and potentially Julia Mancuso) in PyeongChang as the only American women to compete in five Winter Olympics.
That should happen.
