Colorado to Italy: In-state athletes are top Americans in three of first four medal events at Winter Games

Medals were distributed for the first time in these Olympic Games on Saturday, and three of the four events that sent athletes to the podium had Colorado athletes in the field.

None of the three Coloradans medaled, but in all three cases they were the best among the Americans in the field.

Ollie Martin, the 17-year-old from Vail, came within a late scoring decision of reaching the podium in the men’s snowboard: big air.

Martin was bumped out of his third-place spot when defending Olympic champion Su Yiming of China touched the ground with his hand on his second jump. The penalty might have been enough to keep Su from the top three, but he was awarded enough points for difficulty (90 extra degrees of rotation and a tougher grab than Martin) to receive the bronze.

Annika Belshaw of Steamboat Springs placed 21st in the ski jumping, finishing with 225.4 points in her two jumps. Winner Anna Odine Stroem of Norway scored 267.3 to take the gold.

– Kyle Negomir of Littleton placed 10th in the men’s downhill, the first medal event of the Games. It was won by Switzerland’s Franjo von Allmen.

– Vail’s Lindsey Vonn shaved two seconds off the time from her first training run as she completed her second and final practice before Sunday’s anticipated final in the women’s downhill. Vonn, 41, has become the story so far in Italy as she is attempting a comeback that was complicated by a ruptured ACL in her left knee.

– Three Colorado Springs figure skaters will participate Sunday, as they were named by USA Figure Skating on Saturday as part of the team event.

The pairs team of Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea will represent the team in the free skate and Amber Glenn will make her Olympic debut in the women’s free skate.

Glenn, 26, will become the oldest U.S. women’s single skater to compete in an Olympics in 98 years.

Kickin' It with Kiz: Would Broncos be in Super Bowl today if John Elway got QB he liked in 2018 NFL draft?

I hate the Seahawks. I abhor the Patriots. I’ve never heard of Bad Bunny and already can’t stand his “music.” Can’t stand NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth. But I probably watch the Super Bowl anyway. – J-Dawg, Boulder Kiz: Two years ago, when Sam Darnold was trying to rehabilitate his NFL career as a seldom-used reserve […]
