Six gold medals are up for grabs on day four of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

All eyes will be on snowboarding legend Shaun White in the men's halfpipe final. The two-time Olympic champion finished with the top score in qualifying and is looking to reclaim the title after finishing fourth in Sochi.

Australia's Scotty James and Japan's Ayumu Hirano are strong contenders to beat White after both pulled off impressive double cork 1260s yesterday.

The figure skating moves into the pairs with the short program taking place this afternoon. The Chinese pair of Peng Cheng and Jin Yang are favourites for the event.

Robinson, 16, is the youngest ever New Zealander to compete at the Winter Olympics.

The Queenstown skier will be competing in the slalom, though her favoured event is the giant slalom.

"I am so happy to be given this opportunity and am super-excited to be competing at my first Games so young," Robinson said.

"I don't mind being the youngest; I quite like it because I find it a bit more of a challenge."

Last year, the 16-year-old won the Snow Sport NZ's Breakthrough Season Award.

US skater reveals: 'That's no mystery tattoo'

All eyes were on Mirai Nagasu on Monday in PyeongChang when she became the first American woman to land a triple axel in the Olympics.

A lot of those eyes also drifted to a dark strip that read "USA" in big, bold letters on the inside of her right leg — and the theories started flying.
