Olympians rush toward gold in games' last weekend

In the waning days of the Pyeongchang Olympics, athletes are pressing to win now or wait four years for their next chance.

Emotions are running high from the ski jumping center to the cross-country skiing trail. Associated Press photographers are on hand to capture them all.

Stay tuned for more to come before the Olympic cauldron is doused.
