Early Morning recap:

Curling: Lost to Canada 6-4

Ski Jumping: All 4 Qualified(Top 50 of 57), Bickner highest at 25th.

 

To answer some of your questions posed,

Our ski jumping team is not going to medal. A top 20 would be fantastic. 

The Swiss are the only 2-0 team, while the Finns are the only 0-2 team in curling. Should be a good fight

Nathan Chen will be in the Men's Short Program for the Team Event

Moguls: Schild, Kauf, and McCargo have all had podiums in either of the last two World Cup seasons. The women's will be a good fight.

Bradley Wilson will have a decent chance of medaling, but you can just hand the gold to Mikael Kingsbury of Canada now. He deserves it, to be honest.

Qualifying for Moguls is Top 16.*

 

Also, this is a neat thing that I found:

https://www.pyeongchang2018.com/en/game-time/results/OWG2018/en/general/noc-schedule-united-states.htm

 

It's not updated for every event yet, but I imagine it will be accurate within a day.

 

* Edit: This is wrong. It's 30 in Q1, top 10 qual for F1. 20 in Q2, top 10 qual for F1. 20 in F1, top 12 to F2, top 6 in F2 to F3. F3 is the Super Final.

So 3 of our Ski Jumpers are from the Chicago area, very close to where I grew up. In other words, we picked 3 guys from the 2nd flattest state for ski jumping.

Thoughts

I was not able to watch the game live as it was 3am my time but I can see Team USA held the match close until the 5th round. 4-6 is not a bad score especially against the team expected to win gold!

Result: Loss

Thoughts

The game was very close until the 8th round, there were 3 mistakes that I think lost us the game. Very fun game to watch though!

Thoughts

Three of the four women were able to qualify for the finals, Tess needs to do better than she did today if she wants a spot in the finals alongside her teammates. Great 3rd place by Morgan today aswell!

Curling:

 

We are certainly behind the eight-ball due to the Korea loss; however, with OAR and SUI still having matches today against CAN as well as a match against each other tomorrow, if we win our last three matches against NOR, CHN, and FIN, there’s a very good chance we could sneak into the semis.

 

Biathlon:

 

Susan Dunklee has an outside shot at a medal

 

Cross-Country:

 

Our women’s cross country team is actually fairly strong this year, particularly Jessie Diggins. I’ll be very surprised if she doesn’t come away with at least one medal, so she’s a medal threat in every cross-country event

 

Short-track:

 

JR Celski has a shot at a medal, though anything can happen in short track.

 

Long-track:

 

Schoutens is a medal favorite

 

it could be a fun day for the USA with medal chances in 4/5 events plus a lot of intrigue in the curling tournament!
