PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

10:15 p.m.

Japanese veteran Noriaki Kasai has qualified for the men's team large hill ski jumping final at the Olympics.

After failing to qualify for the large hill final on Saturday, there was some concern Kasai might not make it for the Monday's team final. But the 45-year-old Kasai had two second-place finishes in Sunday's three training jumps to book a spot on the four-man team.

Kasai, who is competing in his eighth Olympics, could become the first athlete 45 or older claim a medal at the Winter Olympics since Canada's Carolyn Darbyshire in the women's curling team event in 2010.
