PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):
11:50 a.m.
One U.S. athlete says she's pleased to hear 45 Russians who were excluded from the Pyeongchang Olympics over doping concerns won't be allowed to compete. Others say the drama has been a distraction.
U.S. skeleton veteran John Daly calls the saga that has dogged the Olympic movement for the past four years "absolutely ridiculous." He says the Russians should not be allowed in and that what's going on now is like something out of a movie.
U.S. women's skeleton athlete Katie Uhlaender finished fourth in the Sochi Olympics, one spot behind bronze medalist Elena Nikitina of Russia, who was one of the 45 appealing to get into Pyeongchang.
