The Latest: Shiffrin misses, Hansdotter wins gold on Day 7


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

12:20 a.m.

Mikaela Shiffrin finished a disappointing fourth in women’s slalom while Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter won gold on Day 7 of the Pyeongchang Olympics.

Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu set an Olympic record in the men’s figure skating short program, while American Nathan Chen missed on all his jumps and plummeted to 17th place.

Matthias Mayer broke Norway’s 16-year grip on the men’s super-G title.

In skeleton, Yun Sungbin of South Korea dominated to win gold and become a hometown hero. He finished 1.63 seconds ahead of silver medalist Nikita Tregubov of Russia. It’s the largest margin of victory in Olympic skeleton history, and the largest margin in any Olympic sliding event since 1972.

Eeli Tolvanen has scored twice to help Finland rally past Norway 5-1 in a hockey preliminary round game and set up a showdown with Sweden.

Norway’s Patrick Thoresen scored an early power play goal, but Finland equalized when Tolvanen scored at 16:36 on the power play with Mattias Norstebo off for tripping.
