Norway received the most medals (39), but the United States did very well, receiving 23 medals! (9 gold, 8 silver, and 6 bronze). Our gold medals went to Red Gerard (snowboarding), Jamie Anderson (Snowboarding), Chloe Kim (Snowboarding), Shaun White (Snowboarding), Mikaela Shiffrin (Skiing), Kikkan Ran- dall/Jessie Diggins (cross country skiing), David Wise (skiing), Women’s Ice Hockey, and Men’s Curling. Overall our best sport was most definitely Snowboarding! All though we did get 23 medals, many United States Olympic Committee were disappointed because we missed the estimated amount medals target for Team USA, which was to obtain 37 medals. This year we failed to beat our previous number of medals, 28 in 2014. Both in 2014 and 2018 we obtained 9 gold medals. In Pyeongchang, Erin Hamlin carried the flag during the opening ceremony. This year was the first time all US time zones had live coverage rather than delayed footage. It was also the first year South Korea hosted the winter Olympics. They once hosted the sum- mer Olympics in Seoul 1988. Due to it being in Korea, along with the political climate in Ko- rea, there was, as expected, a lot of tension. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— OHS Students Prepare For Spring Break Europe Trip By: Max Murphy Many Open High School students will be travel- ing to several destinations in Europe over Spring Break this year.
