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.

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!

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
