UPCOMING ENTERPRISE:

OLY--SKE-DALY RETURNS

John Daly was done. His last trip down the track at the Sochi Games was a disaster, cost him a medal shot and he retired. Thing is, in sliding, it's not uncommon for retirements to not last.

OLY--FRE-WINTER X-GOEPPER

ASPEN, Colo. - Once the parties, the TV appearances and the celebration was over, Nick Goepper found searching for 'What's Next?'

OLY--SBD-WINTER X-CHLOE'S GAME

ASPEN, Colo. - Ask Chloe Kim what her "story" is and she's quick to answer: "California girl makes it to the Olympics."

Her parents are from South Korea, and for years - since it became clear she could be the Next Big Thing in snowboarding - the 2018 Olympics have beckoned as not only her coming-out party but a reason to give the host country something to celebrate.

SAAS-FEE, Switzerland - Scarce snow at home and melting glaciers abroad are making it increasingly difficult for athletes in the United States and around the globe to train for the Olympics.

NOVOGORSK, Russia - Ivan Bukin is under enough pressure trying to qualify for his first Olympics, even without a famous name to live up to.

OLY--HKW-FAMILY BRANDT

VADNAIS HEIGHTS, Minn. - Marissa Brandt believed her hockey career was over, until the call came inquiring about her interest in playing for South Korea's upstart team in the upcoming Winter Olympics.

LUG-SWEENEY'S-QUEST

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. - Emily Sweeney owns no clothing with the Olympic rings emblazoned on them.

Sweeney is one of three women on the team that USA Luge is sending to the Pyeongchang Games, ending an eight-year odyssey that had more twists and turns than the ice-coated winding chutes that she slides down to make a living. By Tim Reynolds. 700 words, photos, video.

OLY--SKI-THE SNOW MAN

PINEDALE, Wyo. - The cattle rancher and hay farmer from western Wyoming will have a big influence on who wins the speed events at the Winter Olympics in South Korea.

And yes, the former star for Toronto and Ottawa wore No. 7. By Teresa M. Walker. 625 words, photos.

ASPEN, Colo. - There have been so many obstacles standing in the path of freeskier Torin Yater-Wallace and getting here - on the precipice of making another Olympic team.

OLY--HKW-CANADA'S COACH

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - Laura Schuler went to the 1998 Olympics playing for Canada never thinking she'd have a chance to coach in the Winter Games one day herself.

OLY---OLY--SKOREA-OLYMPICS-CULTURE CLASH

PYEONGCAHNG, South Korea - A month before the Olympics, there's an unusual culture clash of sorts going on in Pyeongchang, and it's only partly about the jitters people in this remote, sleepy mountain region are feeling as they anticipate a gathering horde of foreign visitors. As a frantic government desperate to measure up to an image of what's expected from an Olympics host pushes for change in one of the country's most indebted regions, a rapidly aging backwater that relies on tourism and fisheries, a strain of unease mixes with the excitement. By Foster Klug. 800 words, photos, video.
