Congrats to Lee Sang-hwa of South Korea on her amazing run of medals in 3 straight Olympics (Gold 2010, 2014; Silver 2018) in the women's 500m speed skating. She's been skating on a messed up knee for more than 4 years. And congrats to Nao Kodaira of Japan on her gold. 
It would be great if I could spell their names correctly.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OLYMPIC SPORT?
Luge - I love it because it's like super high speed slider on ice track. Just watching it, I can really feel the thrill, fun, and excitement. It's such a beauty and perfection to watch each player go through each curve at such high speed. On well-made artificial tracks, luge is the fastest among other sledding sports like bobsled and skeleton. The highest speed can be up to 120–145 km/h (75–90 mph). Just imagine going this fast with almost nothing between you and hard ice. I would surely love to try it once in my life. Maybe not on a professional track, I'm not sure my old bones can survive it.

Winter Olympics: Australian David Morris' dream of Pyeongchang Gold Ends after 'Ludicrous' Judging Score
David Morris' Olympic Winter Games campaign is over after the Australian was eliminated from the men's aerials final in Pyeongchang, although questions have been raised as to whether he was robbed by the judges.
Morris, a silver medallist in Sochi four years ago, departed the competition at Phoenix Snow Park after the first round of jumps when he finished 10th out of 12 jumpers with a score of 111.95, having needed to finish inside the top nine to progress.
But doubt surrounds whether eventual silver medallist Jia Zongyang of China, who qualified for the second round of jumps in ninth position, deserved his score of 118.55 after he lost control following his landing and crashed into the snow.
Morris had kept his feet after he landed but was given the same score as Jia of 6.8 for his crash landing.
The 33-year-old Morris admitted to being "confused" about the judges' scores but he ruled out taking the matter further.
"My coach went and asked the judges," he told Channel Seven. "They gave him [Jia] four metres of controlled skiing, which is what counts for a landing. You can watch replays and slow mo [slow motion replay] and argue as much as you want.
"They gave him a four-metre stance where he had control. I can't argue it. Tough luck for me."
Morris' Australian teammate Lydia Lassila, commentating for Channel Seven, said Jia "wasn't in control" of his landing and should have been marked down accordingly. "He's fallen over," Lassila said.
