Kelsey Serwa鈥檚 run at another Olympic medal is underway at the PyeongChang Games in South Korea.

The women鈥檚 ski cross seeding runs are underway at the Olympics after being moved up one day due to scheduling changes.

The medals won鈥檛 be handed out today however as the actual medal rounds will take place Thursday evening starting around 5 p.m. PST.

In ski cross, each racer gets a run at the course on their own, before the medal rounds pit them head to head.

It鈥檚 the 28-year-old Serwa鈥檚 third straight Olympics. She was fifth in Vancouver in 2010 and nailed a silver medal in Sochi, Russia in 2014.

鈥淚鈥檓 skiing really well. I鈥檓 charging after it,鈥� she told the Capital News before the Olympics. 鈥淚鈥檓 not letting up anywhere. Sometimes a ski pops off and that鈥檚 just part of the sport. I鈥檓 happy to be healthy and strong going into the Olympics.鈥�

Stay tuned to our web site tonight for results of the seeding round and tomorrow evening live as Serwa goes for gold.
