The 2022 Winter Olympics haven't started according to plan for the United States.
Through five days, Team USA is without a gold medal. The squad does have four silvers and a bronze, with Jessie Diggins winning bronze to make history, giving the United States its first medal in an individual sprint event for cross country skiing.
So, when will Team USA win its first gold medal? Here's a look at some of the upcoming opportunities:

Mikaela Shiffrin is competing in the women's slalom for a chance to bring home the USA’s first gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
The native of Vail, Colo. is looking to avenge her disappointing performance in the giant slalom, where she entered as the defending gold medalist, but recorded a DNF (did not finish) in her first run, knocking her out of the competition.
She is one of the favorites for the slalom, having won gold in 2014 and finished fourth in 2018. The U.S. also has Paula Moltzan, Katie Heinsien and A J Hurt in the event.

It will be Andrew Heo and Ryan Pivirotto as the representatives for the red, white and blue in the event. Heo made it all the way to the semifinals of the men's 1000m finals before he was knocked out. Pivirotto only got as far as the quarterfinals.
