The Latest: Takagi wins women's mass-start speedskating
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):
9:50 p.m.
Japan's Nana Takagi blasted past opposition in the final straightaway to win the first women's mass start ahead of Kim Bo-reum of South Korea and win her second gold medal of the Pyeongchang Olympics.
Irene Schouten of the Netherlands was leading into the final straightaway but went too wide on the final corner and had to settle for bronze Saturday.
Takagi already was part of Japan's team pursuit that won gold earlier in the week.
It was the third gold medal already for Japan at the Olympic speedskating Oval.
