Time is running out quickly to register for a spot in the 2018 Blue Cross Broad Street Run.

Runners can register online for the annual dash down Broad Street until Feb. 16 at 11:59 p.m. Lottery selections are random and the sign-up period is 16 days long, so you'll have an equal chance to be one of the 40,000 or so participants no matter when you sign up, organizers said. Runners will find out on Feb. 20 if they have a spot in the field.

People can register as individuals or as groups of two to seven runners, according to organizers. An alphabetical list of runners who got a bib number — and were charged the $53 registration fee — will be made available on the Broad Street Run's website on Feb. 16.

This year’s 10-mile run down Broad Street from North Philadelphia to the Navy Yard in South Philadelphia will be held on Sunday, May 6. The Health and Wellness Expo will take place on May 4 and May 5 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

NBC10 and Telemundo62 will broadcast the entire race live from start to finish.

The race is the largest 10-mile road race in the county. The first Broad Street Run was held in 1980 and it has since become one of the city's iconic annual events.

Anyone who has ran 10 previous Broad Street Runs is guaranteed a spot in the race as a "tenured runner" but they must apply during the lottery registration period, organizers said.

It's been eight years since Lindsey Vonn has competed in the Olympics. But Friday she's back. The ski legend will make her Pyeongchang debut in the Super-G as she hopes to honor her late grandfather's memory with a medal.

Figure skater Adam Rippon will return to the ice as he looks to medal for a second time this Games.

Meanwhile, at the ice arena, the U.S. men's hockey team will take on the Olympic Athletes from Russia in a match up reminiscent of the Miracle on Ice. The U.S. men's hockey team has four Philly-area underdogs on the team hoping to bring a medal home.

Here's what you should keep your eye on over the 10th day of competition at the Winter Olympics:

Eight Years Later, Lindsey Vonn Is Back

Lindsey Vonn has been the face of Team USA for nearly a decade now, so it’s easy to forget that she hasn’t competed in an Olympic games in eight years, and has won just one gold medal. She hopes to change both of those Saturday (Friday night in the U.S.).

Vonn’s first race in Pyeongchang will be the Super-G. She won the bronze medal in the event at the Vancouver Games in 2010, but missed the Sochi Olympics due to a knee injury.

WATCH: Lindsey Vonn Is 'Kind of the Crazy Dog Lady'

The downhill is Vonn’s best event, but she’s won 28 Super-G races in her career, including the 2009 world championship. In 2015, she returned from her knee injury and won the bronze medal at the world championships.

She plans to also enter the downhill and combined races in Pyeongchang. Her entire run at the 2018 Winter Games is dedicated to her late grandfather. She talks about him being an inspiration here:

Mikaela Shiffrin, who won the gold medal in the Giant Slalom earlier this week, will not compete in the Super G.

Rippon Hopes to Medal, Chen Hopes to Recover

American Nathan Chen fell in his Pyeongchang debut in team event. He took tumbles in the men’s short program, plummeting to 17th place. But now, in the free skate final, Chen seeks to erase his early issues with a strong finish to his Pyeongchang competition. 

Can he find momentum after two sub-par starts? The pre-Games favorite and two-time national champion missed on all of his jumps Friday morning (Thursday night), falling three times.

As Chen fell, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, native danced to house music and showed off for the judges in a nearly flawless performance that landed him in seventh place heading into the free skate.

Rippon has become a star thanks to his style on the ice and his attitude off it. His free skate helped Team USA win bronze in the team competition.

By the way, we spoke with Yelena Sergeeva, one of Rippon's first skating coaches, about how he trained in and around Philadelphia as a kid.

Men’s single skating continues with the free skate Saturday (Friday night in the U.S.), following the men’s short program the night before. Chen’s shot at a medal is slim from 17th place, as the scores are a combination of both the short program and the free skate. He needs to top the reigning Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan for the gold medal, who lead the short program with a dominating, Olympic record-breaking performance.

Chen’s less-heralded teammates finished ahead of him — Rippon took seventh and Vincent Zhou finished 12th.

Cold War Battle: U.S. Men’s Hockey Vs. the Russians

The U.S. men’s hockey team meets its old nemesis (playing under a different flag).

The U.S. and Russia have a rich history in Olympic hockey, dating back to 1980s Miracle on Ice, when America’s rag-tag team of college kids upset the mighty Russians and eventually won the gold. More recently, games between U.S. And Russia were marquee matchup featuring teams loaded with NHL players.

But the NHL is not participating in the Olympics, leaving both teams — but especially the Americans — a shell of what they could be.

The U.S. men’s team is made up mostly of college athletes, Americans playing professionally overseas and others playing in second-tier leagues. The Russian team is composed of players in the highly regarded Kontinental Hockey League.

And this time, the Russians are playing as the Olympic Athletes from Russia, because the Russian national team was banned from the Pyeongchang Olympics due to doping.

The U.S. enters the game with a 1-1 record after losing to Slovenia in the opening game, but beating Slovakia on Friday. The Russians lost to Slovakia in their opener, but trounced Slovenia 8-2 on Friday afternoon (morning in the U.S.).

By the way, meet the local guys working hard to bring a men's hockey medal home to the U.S.:

South Korea Could Dominate in Short Track Speedskating

In the Olympics’ first week, the host country has earned just three medals. Saturday could be a windfall for South Korea, with medal contenders in two short-track speedskating events.

In the women’s 1500-meter event, Shim Suk-hee and Choi Min-jeong are both expected to contend. Shim won silver at the Sochi Olympics in 2014. They’ll have stiff competition: Canada’s Marianne St-Gelais is a three-time Olympic silver medalist, but in different events. Great Britain’s Elise Christie is the reigning 1,500 meter world champion. Americans Jessica Kooreman, Lana Gehring and Maame Biney are expected to compete.

South Korea has three medal contenders in the men’s 1000-meter, an event they’ve won at four of the past six Olympics. Seo Yi-ra, Lim Hyo-jun and Hwang Dae-heon will try to continue the South Korean dominance. The U.S. will be led by J.R. Celski and Pennsylvania's John-Henry Krueger. 

Watch live on digital platforms beginning at 5 a.m. ET Saturday.

Americans Vie for Medal in Women’s Ski Slopestyle

The women’s ski slopestyle will likely have two American medal contenders, Devin Logan, who won silver in Sochi, and Maggie Voisin.

Logan was the first American to be named to the Olympic team for both slopestyle and halfpipe. Voisin makes her Olympic debut, although she was expected to compete in Sochi at age 15 but was sidelined due to injury.

The Americans will look to hold off the reigning world champion, 16-year-old Tess Ledeux.

A report of a young man with a gun put a Philadelphia school on lockdown Friday.

The principal of Gen. Louis Wagner Middle School on West Chelten Avenue called authorities around 8:45 a.m. after a student reported seeing a man armed with a gun, Philadelphia police said.

Police put the school on lockdown then used K-9s to search each classroom of the West Oak Lane neighborhood school.

No word yet if any gun was found. No injuries were reported.

Police said the student did the right thing by reporting something suspicious and that police take these instances very seriously.

The Democrat who was recently replaced as New Jersey's Assembly speaker is getting a new $280,000 job with the quasi-state agency that oversees the Meadowlands.

Officials on Thursday approved Vincent Prieto to become president and CEO of the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority. 

The job comes more than a month after Prieto was replaced as Assembly speaker by Assemblyman Craig Coughlin.

Prieto will be paid $55,000 more in the post than the person he's replacing who was appointed by former Republican Gov. Chris Christie. He'll resign the Assembly seat he's held for 14 years and give up his position as a construction code official in Secaucus.

In a statement, Prieto said he was "very proud to accept this position."

He'll start in the new role on Feb. 26.

NBC’s primetime figure skating announcers Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski promised to wear lots of bling and high heels at the 2018 Olympics Winter Games. Oh, how they've delivered.

Halfway through the Pyeongchang Games the former Olympians have dazzled the audience with their sparkly and coordinating outfits, courtesy of their many suitcases.

Weir's debut ensemble in the commentator's booth last week featured a bright red sequin blazer while Lipinski wore a matching short dress.

Next, the duo toned it down a bit, in nearly all black outfits with leather accents. But Weir wore a jeweled harness that added a special flair. 

Earlier this week, Weir continued to wear dark, shiny blazers and chunky embellished necklaces with Lipinski clad in bodycon dresses. 

A lighter moment came on Valentine's Day when the duo showed up for their gig in coordinating pink attire: Weir in a white blazer and a hot pink shirt accompanied by a matching necklace and Lipinski in a pastel pink dress. They even got sportscaster Terry Gannon, their “partner in crime," to wear a light pink shirt with his black suit. 

Not to be missed every day at the Olympics is Weir's hair, usually featuring a blowout with more folds than a Frank Gehry building. 

During Sunday’s figure skating team event coverage, Weir’s pompadour hairstyle along with a Zadige Voltaire sequin-fitted blazer, black button down shirt and gitant necklace had many on Twitter wondering if he should be hosting the "Hunger Games."

Weir, known for his eccentric and over-the-top style, set a high bar during the 2014 Sochi Games where he donned multiple sparkly blazers and the golden Coach hair piece.

"On camera, you have to bring it," Weir said in a pre-Olympics interview in October. "In this day and age of fashion bloggers and Vogue you really have to make sure that you’re on point every day and not repeating, because people are waiting to see what we’re going to choose."

Lipinski and Weir said then that they were planning to choose his clothes first and Lipinski’s second so that they can match and create themes.

For Rio Games, Weir packed 52 pairs of shorts, 37 pairs of shoes, 26 bathing suits, nine hats and and three pounds of jewels. He might've brought just as many items, if not more, to Pyeongchang. His Instagram photo showed him surrounded by nine bags and suitcases at the airport in South Korea on Jan. 28. 

What other whimsical outfits are in store? 

Take a look at Weir and Lipinsk's Pyeongchang fashion here: 

The largest container vessel to deliver cargo to the Port of Philadelphia arrived at the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal on Feb. 13.

The 147,400-ton MSC Shuba B arrived from the west coast of South America, containing hundreds of cargo containers stuffed with grapes, peaches, plums, pears and blueberries from Chile and Peru.

But just how big is the ship? It's hard to imagine. This illustration shows that it dwarfs almost every skyscraper in Philadelphia — except for one currently under construction.

Democrats' chances at picking up congressional seats in Pennsylvania would likely improve under new proposals redrawing district boundaries to replace the ones thrown out in a gerrymandering lawsuit.

Republicans and independent analysts came to the same conclusion Friday, hours after Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and others submitted maps on a state Supreme Court deadline.

An analysis conducted through PlanScore.org concludes that Democrats' proposed maps would reduce the partisan tilt in the boundaries that currently favor Republicans, although their maps still largely favor the GOP. Pennsylvania's 6-year-old congressional district map is widely viewed as among the nation's most gerrymandered.

The court is starting the four-day period it gave itself to consider proposals and issue new boundaries for 2018's elections. Republican lawmakers are threatening a federal lawsuit to block any new boundaries.

Jacob Finkelstein, 18, of Voorhees, NJ, has been charged with threatening to "shoot up the school" at Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees.

Police said they were informed of Finkelstein's threats last Friday after multiple students reported hearing the threats during school hours.

A search of Finklestein's home turned up no weapons, police said.

Finkelstein was arrested on Thursday and charged with one count of second degree False Public Alarm and one count of third degree Terroristic Threats related to the case.

He was moved to Camden County Correctional Facility pending a court appearance.

Charges have been upgraded against a New Jersey man whose car plunged into the icy Delaware River Jan. 14, allegedly causing the death of his girlfriend.

Jacob Garrett, 24, of Burlington City, is now charged with vehicular homicide in addition with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, causing death while driving with a suspended license and endangering an injured victim, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said Friday.

Garrett was driving "at a high rate of speed" with Stephanie White, 23, also of Burlington City, in the passenger seat shortly before 1 p.m. along Riverbank Road when his car struck a parked minivan. The impact caused the car to vault over the river wall and fall into the ice-covered water below.

As the vehicle became submerged in water, witnesses helped Garrett get out of the car while White remained trapped in the passenger seat, the Burlington County Prosecutor's office said in a statement. Garrett then allegedly told witnesses to "help my girlfriend" before fleeing the scene.

"He left his girlfriend in the water to die," said Burlington City Police Captain John Fine. "When he crashed his car the vehicle went into the water, he got out, said take care of my girlfriend, and ran away. That's an offense in itself."

White was still wearing her seatbelt when responding firefighters pulled her out of the submerged vehicle. She was taken to Lourdes Medical Center where she was later pronounced dead.

A Burlington City police K-9 tracked Garrett to a nearby River Line light rail station. Authorities stopped the train at the Beverly/Edgewater Park station and arrested Garrett, who was soaking wet, the prosecutor's office said.

So far in these Pyeongchang Olympics, the United States snowboarders have led the way, netting four of America’s five gold medals. On Sunday, the skiers will try to catch up.

Two events could provide a medal haul for the U.S.: Men’s skiing slopesstyle and men’s giant slalom. The Americans combined for four medals in the two events in Sochi, including a slopestyle sweep.

Here are five things to watch for the next 24 hours in Pyeongchang:

U.S. Goes for Repeat Sweep

Three Olympic medals have been awarded in the men’s skiing slopestyle event — and they all went to America.

The event debuted in Sochi four years ago, and Americans took all three medals. Now, they’re hoping for a repeat sweep.

Gus Kenworthy, who won the silver medal four years ago, and Nick Goeppert, who won the bronze, lead the U.S. contingent this time. McRae Williams rounds out the team.

Kenworthy broke his thumb while training in Pyeongchang, but he says it will not affect his competition. 

[[474332603, C]]

Norway’s Oystein Braaten is expected to provide the stiffest competition. He won both X Games titles last season.

Mr. GS Goes for Third Giant Slalom Gold

There’s a reason they call Ted Ligety "Mr. GS." He won an Olympic gold medal in the giant slalom in Sochi four years ago, and has three world titles. Ligety also has an Olympic gold in men's combined, but if he’s going to wind up on the podium in Pyeongchang, it’s most likely to happen in giant slalom.

[[474332893, L]]

Of course, Mr. GS won all those medals and titles before a bad crash in 2016. He was sidelined for over a year recovering from an injured knee and back surgery. Now, at age 33, he’s trying to show he’s still one of the world’s best.

So far in Pyeongchang, he finished fifth in the Alpine combined, and he skied off the course in the super G.

For Ligety to win gold, he’ll have to beat one his longtime rival and friend, Austria’s Marcel Hirscher. Hirscher won an unprecedented sixth straight overall World Cup title last season, and his 55th World Cup victory in the giant slalom in January. He won the first Olympic gold medal earlier this week, in the Alpine combined.

Bohonnon Hopes to Ride Hurricane to Gold

Mac Bohonnon wants to win a gold medal while paying tribute to a friend.

Bohonnon is an American expected to contend in the freestyle skiing aerials event — and he might break out a trick called “The Hurricane,” an homage to Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, who used the Hurricane in 2010 to win a silver medal in Vancouver.

[[474333843, R]]

The Hurricane is a trick that involves three flips with five twists, and three of the twists come in the middle flip. Peterson, who died in 2011 at the age of 29, is the only person to complete the trick in completion — but Bohonnon has been practicing it.

"It’s a scary trick,” Bohonnon told the Associated Press. “And Speedy came out and did this all the time, like it was nothing."

John Lillis could contend for the U.S. He’s been inconsistent the last few years, but ended the 2016-27 season with a world title. A repeat performance would get him a gold medal.

China’s Qi Guangpu and Belarus’ Anton Kushnir are also expected to contend for a medal.

Bergsma Hopes to End Speedskating Struggles

A year ago, Heather Bergsma seemed destined to single-handedly end America’s speedskating struggles. She won 9 of 11 World Cup starts in the 1000m and 1500m distances, including world championships in both. She seemed a good bet to win multiple medals in Pyeongchang.

In the past year, though, she only won one World Cup race. And in her first two races in the Olympics, in the 1000m and 1500m, she finished in eighth place in both.

“I don’t feel quite as good as I did last year,” she told NBC Olympics. “I think it shows throughout the season.”

Now, if Bergsma is going to win a medal, she’ll have to do it in her weakest event, the 500m.

For the U.S., it’s more of the same: The Americans failed to win a speedskating medal in Sochi, and haven’t won one in Pyeongchang yet. Bergsma and teammate Brittany Bowe are America’s best bets in the 500m.

Watch the 500m race on digital platforms at 6:56 a.m. ET Sunday by tapping here.

Martin Fourcade Skis and Shoots for History

Most Americans haven’t heard of him, but Martin Fourcade is one of the most decorated athletes in French history. And if he wins the men’s 15km biathlon mass start, he can become France’s first four-time Olympic gold medalist.

Fourcade won the 12.5km pursuit event earlier this week. He also won two gold medals at the Sochi games in 2014.

Lowell Bailey is his top American competition, but Bailey isn’t expected to contend for a medal. Germany’s Simon Schempp and Norway’s Johannes Thingnes Boe are his biggest competition.
