Hello, Paul.

Hello.

Let's begin with Team Korea's medal exploits over the weekend at the Winter Asian Games in Harbin.

The gold medal target has been reached already.

Yes, Team Korea was able to match its overall gold medal target of 11 after just two days.

Four came on Sunday and seven on Saturday.

Three golds came in speed skating, six in short track speed skating, one in freestyle skiing, and one in snowboarding.

There were also silver and bronze medals over the weekend -two each -in speed skating, four silver and three bronze in short track, one silver in curling, two silver in alpine skiing, as well as. two bronze in freestyle skiing, and two bronze in snowboarding.

The very first medal was won in the mixed 2-thousand-meter relay short track with the team of Kim Gil-li, Park Ji-won, Choi Min-jeong, and Kim Tae-sung.

More medals have been won today, as well.

Kim Jun-ho won bronze in the men's 500-meter speed skating as well as silver in the men's team sprint event.

Kang Dong-hun won bronze in the men's snowboard big air.

You mentioned Choi Min-jeong.

It's been a weekend of milestones for her.

Yes, it has. She became the first triple gold medalist at this year's competition.

And, the first South Korean female athlete to win at least three golds at a winter Asiad.

Choi won gold in the 1-thousand-meter short track, 2-thousand-meter mixed relay, and the 500 meters.

She has had a glittering career already, winning gold at two different Olympics and medals at three different Asian Games, not to mention multiple World Championships.

All this after having a year off, so it's been an incredible comeback.

And there's more on the way for her too as the ISU World Cup continues in Milan, Italy this Friday.

Wrapping up the Asian Games for now, what other medals could Team Korea win?

There's still the curling to come and snowboarding.

Round robin matches began on Sunday and the medal rounds are slated for Friday.

Before that, in snowboarding, Lee Chae-un is set to compete in his main event the halfpipe on Wednesday.

He has one gold already from the men's slopestyle.

Overall, with 11 gold, 10 silver, and nine bronze medals, South Korea sit in second place in the medal table.

The Games conclude this Friday.

And finally, to American Football.

The Super Bowl took place on Sunday.

What can you tell us about that?

Well, the Philadelphia Eagles earned a huge win over the Kansas City Chiefs -40 to 22.

The 59th edition of the Super Bowl saw these two teams meet on this grand occasion for the second time in three years.

The Chiefs were looking for a three-peat but the Eagles avenged that loss from three years ago in emphatic fashion.

In fact, at one point in Sunday's spectacle, the Eagles had a 34-zero lead and were up 24-zero at half time.

It's their second Super Bowl win, the first came following the 2017 season.

Alright, thanks for that wrap-up.

See you next week.

Thank you.
