Athletes are a blur of motion at Pyeongchang Olympics

Athletics is all about putting bodies in motion and the Olympians at Pyeongchang don’t disappoint.

Figure skaters spin around the ice like a top on a table. Bobsledders and lugers slide down the track in a riot of color. Ski jumpers leap into mid-air.

If you blink, you just may miss them.

Thankfully, Associated Press photographers are there to capture the moment.
