Good morning, I'm Kim Mok-yeon from the news center with the latest on the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games.<br />South Korea has just celebrated its Lunar New Year holiday, and over the four day break, Korean athletes were able to grab a total of four medals, bringing its overall rank to 9th. <br />Now, let me give you a brief rundown of the highlights so far and what to look out for on Day 10.<br /><br />Two-time Olympic champion Lee Sang-hwa aiming for her third consecutive gold medal in the women's 500 meter speed skating event on Sunday, fell just short,.. winning a silver medal,... in what may or may not be her final Olympic race.<br /> Starting on the outside lane with Arisa Go of Japan in the 15th group,... Lee sprinted the first 100-meters in ten-point-two seconds,... the fastest time among the 16 groups,... but slowed after flinching slightly on the last corner,... and would finish with a final time of 37-point-three-three seconds. <br />Japan's Nao Kodaira won the gold with a new Olympic record time of 36-point-nine-four seconds. <br />Despite the silver medal finish, Lee becomes the first Asian speed skater to win a medal in the women's 500 meter event in three straight Olympics. <br />
