Show D-3 Wed/Thurs/Fri, February 14-16, 2018 HOW TO WATCH Where and when to catch the action from Pyeongchang COURTESY OF U.S. SKI & SNOWBOARD Editor’s note: All times Mountain. JOEL REICHENBERGER/STEAMBOAT PILOT AND TODAY Jaelin Kauf skis Sunday in the finals of the women’s freestyle skiing moguls competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Bokwang Phoenix Park, South Korea. » Continued from D-2 With her back to the wall, Kauf was at her very best, earning a crucial thirdplace finish that kept her on the World Cup and rejuvenated her confidence. She was standing atop a World Cup podium less than a month later, and a month after that she was collecting a World Ski Championships bronze medal. Everything got even better to start this season. Kauf made podiums in four of the season’s seven events so far, and she won two of them. She’s comfortably atop the World Cup standings. She wasn’t perfect, but the mistakes were rare, at least until the second round of finals Sunday night. After it was clear she was eliminated Kauf made a beeline away from the venue. She stopped by her parents, in South Korea with a large contingent of fans cheering Jaelin on. “I didn’t really talk to them,” she said. “I hugged them, or they hugged me.” Then, she found a quiet corner away, at least a little, from the flashing lights, booming music and constant roar of the Olympic moguls venue. She FaceTimed with her boyfriend, long-time U.S. Ski Team moguls skier Jeremy Cota. The hugs helped, she said. Cota helped. The little bit of time that had already passed helped. “There’s still a lot to accomplish,” she said. “I wanted to be up on the podium today, but there’s still the (World Cup) crystal globe this year, World Champs next year and another Olympics in four years. “My career is not over after today.” She’s been moving so fast for so long, however, she may take a little time to process it all. Cota “always has great advice to give to me to help me move past,” she said. “I’m not all the way there yet, but I want to compose myself, think about moving past this and think about what I can learn and do from here on out.” Wednesday, Feb. 14 Mikaela Shiffrin’s bid for repeat slalom gold will play out in the early morning hours, and Bryce Bennett and Jared Goldberg will spearhead the men’s downhill challenge for the USA, which was rescheduled from Sunday. The action then moves to men’s snowboardcross with a strong contingent challenging for the podium, plus the opening event for Nordic combined.
