Day 13 (February 22nd)

 

 

Alpine Skiing

Team USA

David Chodounsky

Mark Engel
Nolan Kasper

 

Thoughts/Background Information

Not a really good medal chance in this one.

 

Women's Combined:

Downhill: 6:30pm

Slalom: 10:00pm

 

Team USA

Alice Merryweather

Mikaela Shiffrin
Lindsey Vonn

 

Thoughts/Background Information

We have one of the best downhillers in the world and one of the best slalom skiers in the world. They need to be good in the other's discipline to win this race, and I think Mikaela has a strong advantage to do that.

 

 

Biathlon

Women's 4x6km Relay - 3:15am

 

Team USA

Susan Dunklee

Clare Egan

Emily Dreissigacker

Madeleine Phaneuf

Joanne Reid

 

Thoughts/Background Information

Considering that we didn't get a top 50 in the sprint, I'm not hopeful for a good finish in the relay.

Thoughts/Background Information

Ooooooooh, boy! Here we go! Semifinals for the men. Winner goes to the final, loser to the bronze medal match. USA won the prelim game, but these are the Canadians, man. This would be the first time they wouldn't make the final if they lost.

 

 

Freestyle Skiing

Men's Ski Halfpipe  - 6:30pm

 

Team USA

Aaron Blunck

Alex Ferreira

David Wise

Torin Yater-Wallace

 

 

Thoughts/Background Information

We have 4 of the top halfpipe skiers ever. Honestly, we could medal sweep.

Team USA

Bryan Fletcher

Taylor Fletcher

It's a decent team, but not one that will likely win a medal.

 

 

Snowboard

Women's Big Air - 4:30pm

 

Team USA

Jamie Anderson

Jessika Jenson

Thoughts/Background Information

Not the best Qualification results for these guys, but still, it's Big Air, anything's possible.

Team USA

Susan Dunklee - 13th

Clare Egan- 13th

Susan Dunklee did a great job starting off, but our follow up wasn't quite there, as Emily and Joanna did, honestly, a pretty poor job shooting. Hopefully this team can improve.

All times in PST

Day 14 (February 23rd)

 

 

Biathlon

Men's 4x7.5km Relay - 3:15am

 

Team USA

Tim Burke

Lowell Bailey

Leif Nordgren

Russell Currier

Sean Doherty

 

Thoughts/Background Information

Bailey and Burke are pretty decent biathletes, but I'm not very hopeful for a medal here either.

 

 

Figure Skating

Ladies Free - 5:00pm

 

Team USA

Karen Chen

Mirai Nagasu

Bradie Tennell

 

 

Thoughts/Background Information

We are not in a good position to medal in this event. 9th, 10th, and 11th going into it, all 3 were unable to have a clean skate in the short, and that is going to basically eliminated from a medal.

 

 

Speed Skating 

Men's 1000m - 2:00am

 

Team USA

Shani Davis

Joey Mantia

Mitchell Whitmore

 

 

Recap

All 3 of these gentlemen are strong skaters and could challenge for a medal if they are able to skate particularly well. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case for the US these Olympics.

We can summarize the Olympics by now 9 Gold.  23 Total (well unless Diggins does something)    and while there were many amazing surprises like Cross Country, womens Hockey or curling Golds,    also some dissapointments come to mind.  Another Skating Failure.  Shiffrin in Slalom is another.   No Cross medals, no golds in ski slopestyle, no medals in moguls or aerials.  Overall because of diggins, shuster or womens Hockey i cannot say im overall dissapointed.  But i was hoping for a better medal count.

:USA Plans for 2018-2020 USA National Thread :USA

I notice that this National Thread is quite dead during the non Olympic months so I've created a system of posts that I will be posting from now until 2020. There will be three main different posts Week in Summer, Week in Winter, and Trek to Tokyo.

 

Week in Summer: The Week in Summer posts will be all different USA Summer Olympic sport news that don't have a direct correlation to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics such as FINA World Diving Series or events like that.

Week in Winter: These posts will be all different USA Winter Olympic sport news that don't have a direct correlation to the Beijing 2022 Olympics such as Curling World Championship or Alpine Skiing World Cup. 

NOTE: DUE TO SO MANY WINTER & SUMMER SPORTS THESE POSTS WILL BE AT THE END OF EACH WEEK RECAPPING THE WEEK!

 

Trek to Tokyo: These posts are all about USA qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. The posts will come as matches happen for qualifying. 

 

NOTE: I know this will be a lot to handle but I've been working on a spreadsheet that helps me a ton, I think the only time I won't be able to post these is if I'm away from a computer (which is not much).  As we get closer to the Summer Olympics there will be more and more posts on Trek to Tokyo and probably less on Week in Summer. I've not yet finished my spread sheet for all the sports yet (I'm working on the summer sports first) so It might take a week or two before the Week in Summer & Week in Winter posts start up!

I am willing to help whenever. I have 2 text files that I update roughly every 3 months with upcoming events for various sports, USA or not, and also including e-sports events. I've attached them below.

 

League Watch List are leagues that stretch out over long periods of time.

Watch List is singular events

So, here's the part where my crazy comes out:

Predominantly Overwatch and Starcraft, sometimes CSGO and Rocket League, and the occasional Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, DotA and League.

Insane! I thought I watched a lot of esports. I watch CSGO, Rocket League and League of Legends mainly. I've never played Dota 2 or Overwatch but I'll still sometimes watch the matches. 

I'm not sure if you know who SK Gaming is (number 2 team in CSGO right now) But I'm actually friends with three of their main players and a few other players from different teams. So I mainly watch CSGO

    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.  
    • Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/
    • I didn't buy any tickets, but didn't get the e-mail.   We bought tickets on my wife's account (earlier timeslot), but not 12, and she got the e-mail.

    • I am very curious.  We got extremely lucky in the first ticket drop, both my and my wife's emails were selected for relatively early time slots-- early enough that we bought our full allotment of tickets for good stuff.  Not swimming or gymnastics of course, but we were really pleased,  d   But today I received an email on one of those accounts saying that we were entered into the second drop because we hadn't used up our 12 ticket allotment.  I went back and counted-- twice-- and yes, we certainly did purchase 12 tickets on that account.      I am not sure I want any more!  Did this happen to anybody else?    
    • Congrats to your talented team. Don't know what happened with the Dutch men. In qualies and race for bronze they were a lot faster than Italy, but in the second round our third man (Tijmen van Loon) was almost 1,5 second slower than in the two other rounds.    We really need Jeffrey Hoogland back in our team. That's the only way to give competition to the British team.    However, today was a special day. For the first time since very long we entered the Women Team Pursuit and eventually won the bronze medal. Well, a lot of countries didn't participate, but with a national record of 4.12 still a very promising result. There are rumors that Milano Cortina 1.500 meter speedskating Olympic champion Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong will enter the team. 
    • Ju Jitsu    One of the worst martial arts really. Surely the middle east lobby.   The -52kg W final  deserved to win gold and did all attacks still lost to  who was trailing even on advantages and did nothing.      Total mockery of the sport. C'mon I'll happily watch Wushu here instead. Really wished to watch woodball
