And bonus points in cheering for them once you know that Crnkovic is the one who walked around and provided 'us' with a lot of information about which countries were in which buildings in the Olympic village in Pyeongchang, simply because of our curiousity about it  

 

How come I didn't know that?

Because I didn't say it earlier?

Strolia is quick, but can't shoot if his life depended on it

 

Still, it was refreshing to see our athlete gaining positions and not leaking them based on ski speed.

The US did well in the Single-Mixed, I was at first a little surprised at the selection of Dunklee over Egan.  Dunklee is not having her best season.  But, other than her melt-down on the last shoot, when 3rd was a possibility, I think she could have closed down Simon of France, if she had gone clear, the team did well.

Olena Pidrushna has been diagnosed with myocarditis and is done for the season. I wonder if she retires alltogether now?

That is not good news.  I bet she talks long and hard to her family and doctor.
