Skier Mikaela Shiffrin and figure skater Adam Rippon will make their first appearances in Pyeongchang in a star-studded day of Winter Olympics events.
Shiffrin and Rippon are two of the biggest American stars at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Shiffrin, who hopes to medal in several events, will compete in the giant slalom. Rippon will represent the U.S. in the figure skating team event. Both could win medals on Monday.
Here’s what you need to watch in Pyeongchange over the next 24 hours:
1.) Mikaela Shiffrin Pyeongchang Debut in Giant Slalom Cancelled Due to High Winds
Mikaela Shiffrin's debut at the Pyeongchang Winter Games was cancelled about three hours before it was scheduled to begin Monday because of strong winds. It was the second Alpine skiing race called off at the Olympics. A new date was not announced immediately.

Shiffrin became a breakout American star at the Sochi Olympics, where she became the youngest-ever Olympic slalom champion at age 18. She’s looking to add a lot more hardware this time.
Now 22, Shiffrin has committed to skiing both the giant slalom and the slalom In Pyeongchang, and she might add the other three individual women’s races. Last year, Shiffrin became the first woman to win three consecutive slalom world titles in 78 years.
Up first for Shiffrin: The giant slalom. She’ll look to better her fifth-place finish in the event from the 2014 Olympics. She won a silver medal in the giant slalom in the 2017 World Championships.
Lindsey Vonn, another standout American skier, will not compete in the giant slalom.
2.) Adam Rippon Hopes to Lead Team USA to Team Gold
America’s hopes for a gold medal in the figure skating team event took a hit when one of its stars, Nathan Chen, fell during his Olympic debut on Friday. If Team USA hopes to finish atop the podium, it will need a strong performance from one of its other stars, Adam Rippon.
Rippon will represent the U.S. in the men’s free skate, one of three events to be held Monday to complete the Team Event. The women’s free skate and the ice dance free dance are the other two.
Three more events will be held on Sunday morning: the ice dance short dance, the women’s short program and the pairs free skating.
Medals will be awarded after the ice dance free dance. The U.S., Canada and the Olympic Athletes from Russia were expected to compete for the gold.

3.) Americans Look to Dominate Women’s Slopestyle Final
Defending gold medalist Jamie Anderson leads a strong group of Americans expected to contend for medals in the women’s slopestyle. Anderson is considered the favorite to repeat, but two first-time Olympians should be in the mix: 20-year-old Julia Marino and 17-year-old Hailey Langland.
Marino won a gold medal at the 2017 X Games in Aspen, then finished second behind Anderson in the 2018 X games, just two weeks ago. Langland may be the face of the next generation of snowboarders, earning praise for her style and big tricks. But the Americans could be threatened by Austrian veteran Anna Gasser, who dominated the event last season and beat Anderson, Marino and Langland at the 2017 X Games Norway.

4.) USA’s Bergsma Shoots for Gold in 1500-Meter Speed Skating
Heather Bergsma entered the 1500-meter speed skating race in the Sochi Olympics as a medal favorite — but she struggled, finishing seventh. In the four years since, the American speed skater has done much to put those struggles behind her - including setting the world record in November 2015.
She still holds that record. On Monday, she’ll get a chance at Olympic redemption in Pyeongchang.
She’ll have stiff competition - Japan’s Miho Takagi and the Netherland’s Ireen Wust are other top contenders. Bergsma beat Wust and Takagi at the 2017 World Championships. Wust already won a silver medal in Pyeongchang, in the 3000-meter race.
