Pyeongchang Olympics: In the Details

The Olympics are known for big moments: huge jumps, surprise victories, agonizing defeats. 

But sometimes it’s worth taking a moment to look at the smaller details: Olympic rings reflected in a fan’s sunglasses, the design on a figure skate, an athlete’s hand as she holds her medal.

Here, Associated Press photographers at the Pyeongchang Olympics focus in on the little things.
