The U.S. women's figure skating trio aims to break a 20-year Olympic singles medal drought, building on their recent team gold at the Milan Cortina Games, officials said.

- Day 11 also features multiple medal rounds, including the U.S. men's speedskating team chasing gold and snowboard slopestyle and men's freestyle big air events.
