Day 3 of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 started much the way Day 2 did -- golden. Jamie Anderson successfully defended her title in slopestyle snowboarding to become a back-to-back champion and earn Team USA's second gold medal of the Games. Down the road in Gangneung, the figure skaters were locked in heated competition in the team event. The team, with the help of Mirai Nagasu and her triple axel -- the first landed by an American woman in Olympic competition -- claimed bronze for Team USA. Elsewhere around PyeongChang were competitions in biathlon, freestyle skiing, luge and long track speedskating, where veteran Brittany Bowe finished just outside of the medals.
