I predicted 9 for them in my predictions. Shiffrin in alpine combined, Meyers Taylor in monobob, Nathan Chen, Chloe Kim, Jamie Anderson, Red Gerard, Erin Jackson, Brittany Bowe and theens team pursuit. Since there's no "same number of medals" option, I'll vote less because a lot of those events have high variance and they arey country's biggest rivals :p.

Doesnt seem very likely. I am not an expert when it comes to american sport, but after some quick research i would say that 12 golds would be the absolute perfect case, so 10+ golds seem very ambitious. I would say 7 or 8 golds would already be a really good result for them. Not sure how many gold medal favorites the US actually has? Nathan Chen, Chloe Kim, Elana Meyers (monobob) and ... ?

Anderson, Gerard and Jackson all winning gold seems very unlikely. I think they could also win golds in men's/women's ice hockey, men's big air/halfpipe/slopestyle freestyle skiing, women's 2-man bob, women's slalom/giant slalom, men's 1500 m speed skating and maybe even women's cross-country skiing.
