Uhlaender qualifies for next step in skeleton

Katie Uhlaender made mistakes on both of her skeleton runs Thursday but still is one of two American women in position to contend for an Olympic medal. Noelle Pikus-Pace is second and Uhlaender of Breckenridge, Colo., fourth with two runs remaining Friday at Sanki Sliding Center. Pikus-Pace is .44 seconds behind world No. 1-ranked Elizabeth Yarnold of Great Britain. Uhlaender is .14 behind third-place Elena Nikitina of Russia. The U.S. women are going for their first Olympic medal since 2002 when the sport debuted in Salt Lake City.
