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!

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!

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!

    • Stage 14 in Semmering (AUT)   Women´s Giant Slalom:   1. Julia Scheib    1:56.46 2. Camille Rast    1:56.60 3. Sara Hector   1:56.86   Full Final Results HERE

    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
