pjwasz 16 Posted February 16, 2018 #133 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics Schedule All times in PST Day 7 (February 16th) Alpine Skiing Women's Slalom: 5:00pm/8:15pm Team USA Alice Merryweather Megan McJames Mikaela ShiffrinResi Stiegler Thoughts/Background Information 1 race down for Shiffin, and it was gold. Can she repeat that in her best event? Men's Super-G: 6:00pm Team USA Ryan Cochran-Siegle Jared Goldberg Ted LigetyAndrew Weibrecht Thoughts/Background Information Jansrud and Svindal are the favorites in this, although Weibrecht was a suprise silver medalist in 2014. Maybe another suprise is in the works? Cross-Country Skiing Men 15km Freestyle - 10:00pm Team USA Erik Bjornsen Noah Hoffman Tyler Kornfield Scott Patterson Thoughts/Background Information I would be shocked if we got a top 20 in this one. Curling Men's United States of America vs Sweden - 4:05pm Team USA John Shuster Tyler George Matt Hamilton John Landsteiner Team Sweden Niklas Edin Oskar Eriksson Rasmus Wranaa Christoffer Sundgren Thoughts/Background Information Here we go again with Shuster. He's got flashes of brilliance followed by sessions of incompetence. I don't know what to think of this one. Men's United States of America vs Denmark - 4:05pm Team USA John Shuster Tyler George Matt Hamilton John Landsteiner Team Denmark Rasmus Stjerne Johnny Frederiksen Mikkel Pulsen Oliver Dupont Thoughts/Background Information TBD Figure Skating Men's Short - 5:00pm Team USA Nathan Chen Adam Rippon Vincent Zhou Thoughts/Background Information Well, it's time for Nathan Chen to prove how good he actually is. An easy medal favorite, he needs to recover from a bad team event to hopefully pull out another medal for the US. Freestyle Skiing Women's Aerials Finals - 3:00am Team USA Kiley McKinnon Madison Olsen Recap These two qualified 5th and 6th in the second round of qualification. They have 3 final rounds, 12->9->6. Ice Hockey Men's United States of America vs Slovakia - 7:10pm [I don't want to type all of their names] Thoughts/Background Information Well, the last game was heartbreaking. An overtime loss to Slovenia makes this matchup essentially a must win. They need 2 more victories for a high seed, otherwise we could be facing a very strong team in the quarterfinals. Skeleton Men's Runs 3 & 4 - 6:30pm Team USA Matthew Antoine John Daly Thoughts/Background Information Currently in 11th and 13th, they are outside shots for a medal. Women's Runs 1 & 2 - 3:20am Team USA Katie Uhlaender Kendall Wesenberg Thoughts/Background Information I don't know if we will get a medal here, but Katie can pull out some good runs. Ski Jumping Men's Large Hill Qualification - 4:30am Team USA Kevin Bickner Michael Glasder Casey Larson Will Rhoads Recap Well, we aren't going to medal in this either. This is an experience event, hopefully we can get some to improve the team. Snowboard Women's Snowboard Cross - 5:00pm Team USA Faye Gulini Lindsey Jacobellis Meghan Tierney Thoughts/Background Information JACO! The 5x(5-time!, 5-time!), reigning world champion has had some struggles with the olympics, going out in the semis in Vancouver and Sochi after getting a silver in Turin. Gulini was 4th in Sochi, and is an overall good snowboarder. Tierney is only 19, and is coming off a broken back. Speed Skating Women's 5000m - 3:00am Team USA Carlijn Schoutens Thoughts/Background Information Not the most likely victory for us, Schoutens is going to be going up against legends like Martina Sabikova. Claudia Pechstein and Ivanie Blondin are also medal threats, but not likely for Schoutens. Rdbc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdbc 47 Posted February 19, 2018 #134 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics Schedule All times in PST Day 10? (February 18/19th) Curling Women's United States of America vs Denmark - 4:05pm Team USA Nina Roth Tabitha Peterson Aileen Geving Rebecca Hamilton Team Denmark Madeleine Dupont Denise Dupont Julie Hogh Mathilde Halse Thoughts/Background Information This is a must win match for the USA Women, Denmark currently sits at 1-4 right underneath us. United States of America vs China - 3:05am Team USA Nina Roth Tabitha Peterson Aileen Geving Rebecca Hamilton Team China Wang Bingyu Zhou Yan Liu Jinli Ma Jingyi Thoughts/Background Information This is another must win match for us. Men's United States of America vs Canada - 9:05pm Team USA John Shuster Tyler George Matt Hamilton John Landsteiner Team Canada Kevin Koe Marc Kennedy Brent Laing Ben Hebert Thoughts/Background Information I don't see us winning this, we need to though! Figure Skating Ice Dance - 5:00pm Team USA Maia Shibutani/Alex Shibutani Madison Chock/Evan Bates Madison Hubbell/Zachary Donohue Thoughts/Background Information Madison and Zachary are 4th in the World for Ice Dancing so if they can perform to the best of their abilities we might be able to snag a medal. All of our teams are very good (4th, 6th, 7th) Freestyle Skiing Women's Halfpipe Qualification - 5:00pm Team USA Brita Sigourney Annalisa Drew Devin Logan Maddie Bowman Thoughts/Background Information All of our Women have very good chances to get a qualify! Keep your eye on Brita! If I'm not mistaken the top 12 will Qualify! Ice Hockey Women's Semifinals United States of America vs Finland - 8:10pm Thoughts/Background Information We have already beat Finland in the group stage 3-1! Speed Skating Men's 500m - 3:00am Team USA Kimani Griffen Jonathan Garcia Mitchell Whitmore Thoughts/Background Information I don't think we have a chance Women's Team Persuit - 3:00am Team USA Heather Bergsma Brittany Bowe Mia Manganello Carlijn Schoutens Thoughts/Background Information I don't think we have a chance here aswell Ski Jumping Men's Team - 4:30am Team USA Casey Larson William Rhoads Michael Gladser Kevin Brickner Recap Men's team is dominated by Norway and Germany so I don't see how we can get in the top 3 Snowboard Women's Big Air Qualification - 4:30pm Team USA Hailey Langland Julia Marino Jamie Anderson Jessika Jenson Thoughts/Background Information Julia Marino is in 12th place for this event in the World Cup. I think Julia has the greatest chance of getting a medal but the chances are slim as Austria, Norway and Japan have some great athletes. Bobsleigh 2-Man Run 3 & 4 - 3:15am Team USA Justin Olsen/Evan Weinstock Nick Cunningham/Hakeem Abdul-Saboor Codie Bascue/Sam McGuffie Thoughts/Background Information At this point it's impossible for us to get top 3 but we can still cheer on our teams and hope they perform well! Feels good to be back doing these! I'm already planning what I will be posting during the off season! I can't wait!

Maxim Fastovsky 124 Posted February 19, 2018 #135 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Until now i will classify this olympics as kind of dissapointing for us, 5 medals, 10 gold, shiffrin no slalom medal, no gold in ski slopestyle, no medal for nathan chan, and again speed skating no medal, off course things can change a little bit, i was thinking 10 gold 20 total, but dont think it will happen (even then it will be way less then the 28 total of sochi, and 37 of vancouver) i guess it's compensated with very good summer games again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we could have a in Mixed Doubles Curling if it wasn't for throwing our lead at end 5 most games. I mean I feel like I've noticed lots of young athletes these games (Red Gerard, Chloe Kim, Nathan Chen, Maame Biney, etc.) Who will only get better over the years.

Maxim Fastovsky 124 Posted February 19, 2018 #137 Share Posted February 19, 2018 possibly, but you never know what will happen in 4 years, and it's dissapointing looking at totals from 2014, and 2010 and seeing such a big discrepancy, even if it's halfway through, we will not be anywhere close to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjwasz 16 Posted February 21, 2018 #139 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics Schedule All times in PST Day 12 (February 21st) Alpine Skiing Women's Downhill: 6:00pm Team USA Breezy Johnson Alice McKennis Laurenne RossLindsey Vonn Thoughts/Background Information After a pretty disappointing Super G, will Vonn recover in her best event? Bobsleigh Women's Heats 3 & 4 - 3:40am Team USA Elena Meyers Taylor Lauren Gibbs Jamie Grubel-Poser Aja Evans Thoughts/Background Information Elena Meyers Taylor has won 2 medals in the 2 women event, Silver and Bronze. She sits in 2nd with her brakewoman Lauren Gibbs, who is making her Olympic debut. The other US sled has the Bronze medalists from Sochi, who are sitting in 4th. Great chance for a medal, even 2. Cross-Country Skiing Men and Women's Team Sprint - 12:00mid Team USA Erik Bjornsen Simi Hamilton Jessie Diggins Kikkan Randall Thoughts/Background Information I don't think our Men's team will do that well, but our Women's team won the 2013 Worlds and Diggins and Randall both medalled in the sprint in the 2017 Worlds. Curling Men's United States of America vs Great Britian - 9:05pm Team USA John Shuster Tyler George Matt Hamilton John Landsteiner Team Great Britian Kyle Smith Thomas Muirhead Kyle Waddell Cameron Smith Women's United States of America vs Sweden - 3:05am Team USA John Shuster Tyler George Matt Hamilton John Landsteiner Team Sweden Anna Hasselborg Sara McManus Agnes Knochenhauer Sofia Mabergs Thoughts/Background Information Both of these matches follow similar paths. Last draw for their respective genders, facing a top team, with a spot in the tiebreakers on the line. MUST win for both. Women also need a Japan loss to Switzerland. Figure Skating Ladies Short - 5:00pm Team USA Karen Chen Mirai Nagasu Bradie Tennell Thoughts/Background Information I think these 3 are spectacular skaters. I don't think they will medal. Medvedeva, Osmond, Zagitova, Kostner, Miyahara, Sakamoto, etc, are all sooooo good. Ice Hockey Men's United States of America vs Czech Republic - 7:10pm [I don't want to type all of their names] Thoughts/Background Information Nothing else matters, Quarterfinals are now. Big win against Slovakia should give them a good amount of confidence to hopefully get a good push into the semis. Snowboard Men's Big Air - 5:00pm Team USA Chris Corning Red Gerard Kyle Mack Ryan Stassel Thoughts/Background Information Ryan Stassel has my favorite snowboarder nickname: "Razzle Dazzle." That said, I don't think we're going to get too much of that. These 4 are slopestyle guys, so I don't know what level of tricks they will pull out. Speed Skating Ladies' Team Pursuit - 4:13am Team USA Carlijn Schoutens Heather Bergsma Brittany Bowe Mia Manganello Thoughts/Background Information So...the Dutch are a thing. And they are damn good. I think we lose the semi, but we might pull an upset in the Bronze final. Men's Team Pursuit - 3:00am Team USA Brian Hansen Emery Lehman Joey Mantia Thoughts/Background Information This is Final D. We're just going for pride here. Edited February 21, 2018 by pjwasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjwasz 16 Posted February 21, 2018 #140 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics Results Day 12 (February 21st) Alpine Skiing Women's Downhill: 6:00pm Team USA Breezy Johnson - 7th Alice McKennis - 5th Laurenne Ross - 15thLindsey Vonn - 3rd Recap I feel that it is safe to call this a success. Obviously, it is great that Vonn got a bronze medal, but Breezy and Alice getting Top 10 finishes are also awesome! Was hoping that Vonn would win the gold, but I'll settle for a bronze. Bobsleigh Women's Heats 3 & 4 - 3:40am Team USA Elena Meyers Taylor - 2nd Lauren Gibbs - 2nd Jamie Grubel-Poser - 5th Aja Evans - 5th Recap So close! That's Elena's second silver medal in a row, by only 7 hundredths of a second. Great showing by both sleds, Jamie and Aja missed a medal by only .13 seconds. Hopefully they can make one more great run. Cross-Country Skiing Men and Women's Team Sprint - 12:00mid Team USA Erik Bjornsen - 6th Simi Hamilton - 6th Jessie Diggins - 1st Kikkan Randall - 1st Recap GOLD MEDAL! First in Cross Country skiing for the US and first medal for women's cross country skiing for the US. Amazing! Stellar performance by those two and by the men's pair, getting a 6th place finish. Very exciting stuff. Curling Men's United States of America 10 vs 4 Great Britian - 9:05pm Team USA John Shuster Tyler George Matt Hamilton John Landsteiner Team Great Britian Kyle Smith Thomas Muirhead Kyle Waddell Cameron Smith Recap Winner winner, chicken dinner! Big win for the Shuster rink to put them into the top 4 and give them a birth in the semis! They are guaranteed a top 4 after this win and Japan's loss. Wonderful! Women's United States of America 6 vs 9 Sweden - 3:05am Team USA Nina Roth Tabitha Peterson Aileen Geving Becca Hamilton Team Sweden Anna Hasselborg Sara McManus Agnes Knochenhauer Sofia Mabergs Recap Oof. Very close match, down to the 10th end. So close to getting into the tiebreakers and possibly a medal. Still, good performance from the Roth rink, and they should be proud. Figure Skating Ladies Short - 5:00pm Team USA Karen Chen - 10th Mirai Nagasu - 9th Bradie Tennell - 11th Recap That's rather amusing, that the USA skaters all were next to each other. However, they are well out of the medals, as each one of them had a fall. Ice Hockey Men's United States of America 2 vs 3 Czech Republic - 7:10pm [I don't want to type all of their names] Recap This was a sad game to watch. Incredible performance from everyone, and they had a good run, sans a few games. Still, was hoping for a little more in that shootout. Snowboard Men's Big Air - 5:00pm Team USA Chris Corning - Q Red Gerard - Q Kyle Mack - Q Ryan Stassel Recap 3 out of 4 ain't bad. Stassel had a rough heat, but the other 3 have good potential to throw down something huge in the final. Speed Skating Ladies' Team Pursuit - 4:13am Team USA Carlijn Schoutens Heather Bergsma Brittany Bowe Mia Manganello Recap A victory for America over Canada to give us the bronze! Great job, and the first speed skating medal for the US at these games. Men's Team Pursuit - 3:00am Team USA Brian Hansen Emery Lehman Joey Mantia Recap We lost. Last place. Need a lot of improvement here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
