First Skates: PyeongChang's power couple
They're speed skating's golden couple...
Heather Bergsma and her Dutch husband Jorrit are hoping to add to their medal collection in PyeongChang.
Heather is the fastest speedskater in American history and currently holds three world records. Now she's striving for a first Olympic medal.
Jorrit, meanwhile, will defend the gold medal he won in the 10,000 metres at Sochi 2014 and he's aiming to improve on the bronze he earned in the 5,000 metres.
Ahead of this year's Games, the couple told Sportsworld how they met.
