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!

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
