PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

2:45 p.m.

Figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva says after setting a world record in the short program of the team event that Russia's doping troubles have made her stronger.

Medvedeva is the two-time reigning world champion and favorite for gold in the women's individual competition.

She was also picked to represent Russia in front of the International Olympic Committee in December before the IOC opted against a blanket ban on Russian athletes but required a reduced team to compete under the Olympic flag.
