At this year's Winter Olympics, young stars are making big statements across a number of events. Mikaela Shiffrin, 22, took home gold in the giant slalom last night. It's the young skier's second gold in two Olympics.
Shiffrin's win sets up a big showdown between the young star and skiing legend Lindsey Vonn in the downhill race later this week. Matt Foley, Reporter at OZY, says he has his money on Vonn, saying she wants to go out with a big win.
Foley also discusses the 2018 Winter Games' slump in viewers. He says that streaming has made viewing the Games confusing for many people. No one is really sure where or when they can watch each event.
