Rdbc 47 Posted February 3, 2018 #91 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics Schedule All times in PST Day -2 (February 7th) Curling Mixed Doubles - 4:05pm PST United States of America vs Olympic Athletes from Russia Team USA Matt Hamilton Rebecca Hamilton Team Olympic Athletes from Russia Anastasia Bryzgalova Alexander Krushelnitskiy Current Standings Thoughts/Background Information Anastasia and Alexander won the World Mixed Doubles Championship in 2016, they also beat Matt and Rebecca on April 29th, 2017. I think this match will be semi-close but I think the Olympic Athletes from Russia will come away with the win (hopefully not though)! I will be creating these everyday for the Olympics! At the end of each day I will post a recap of the day! If there anything you think needs to be added just tell me!

Becca and Matt didn't make too many mistakes, but the Russian pair made a really insane amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be able to win vs Canada looking at how they played today, not sure if they played bad or if Norway played extremely well. Maybe a little bit of both.

We had the best shot % ending the day yesterday. Hopefully this will be a close match either way. Ski Jumping Mens: Individual - Normal Hill Qualification - 4:30am PST Team USA Michael Gladser Casey Larson William Rhoads Kevin Brickner In order to qualify: Top 50 Thoughts/Background Information Honestly I'm not sure if any of the men will qualify as they are all making their Olympic debut and they are all much better at the Large Hill. If anyone of them are to qualify I'm not exactly sure which ones have the edge. If any of you follow Ski Jumping or know anything more feel free to tell me! Curling Mixed Doubles - 3:35pm PST United States of America vs Switzerland Team USA Matt Hamilton Rebecca Hamilton Team Switzerland Martin Rios Jenney Perret Current Standings Thoughts/Background Information We lost against Canada 6-4 but had a close start against them, I think if we don't make any mistakes and play our best we might be able to beat Switzerland but they are leading the table. Figure Skating Team Event Men's Short Program - 5:00pm PST Team USA Nathan Chen Freestyle Skiing Women's Moguls Qualification 1 - 5:00pm PST Team USA Tess Johnson Jaelin Kauf Keaton McCargo Morgan Schild In order to qualify: To qualify straight for finals must be in top 10 Thoughts/Background Information This is all four Women's Olympic debut. Jaelin Kauf is currently ranked 1st in the World Cup in Moguls followed by Morgan in 7th, Keaton in 8th and Tess in 10th. These Women have a great chance of winning a medal! Freestyle Skiing Men's Moguls Qualification 1 - 6:45pm PST Team USA Casey Andringa Troy Murphy Emerson Smith Bradley Wilson In order to qualify: To qualify straight for finals must be in top 10 Thoughts/Background Information 3 of the 4 men are making their Olympic debut. Bradley Wilson has been to the 2014 Olympics placing 20th in Moguls. Bradley is currently 7th place in the Moguls World Cup standings, followed by Troy in 12th, Emerson in 13th and Casey in 20th. If Bradley can really push himself he has a possibility of getting a medal. Figure Skating Team Event Pairs' Short Program - 6:45pm PST Team USA Alexa Scimeca Knierim Chris Knierim Curling Mixed Doubles - 8:35pm PST United States of America vs South Korea Team USA Matt Hamilton Rebecca Hamilton Team South Korea Jang Hye-ji Lee Ki-jeong Current Standings Will update after USA vs Switzerland Thoughts/Background Information Will update after USA vs Switzerland I would not be surprised if I missed anything or got the times wrong NBC, Olympichannel, and NBC Olympics all had different times for events so I could not tell which ones were correct. I also have very little information about the qualification events. If you guys have any information I missed or would like added just tell me. I'm hoping this will keep everything clear so you can see all the events USA athletes are participating in.
