Well lindsey was out, shiffrin wasn't yet comfortable with anything but the slalom and speed skating was a big dissapointment

I'm a believer in Bailey! i think we can win 1 biathlon medal between Bailey, Burke and Dunklee, a bronze in like a mass start or something

but why is world cup rankings accurate? not everyone participating in every world cup, Lindsey Vonn was out most of the season and look at her now, she is not the favorite according to the rankings, but are you going to bet against her after winning 3 in a row? you dont take into account all the parameters if you include only world cup rankings. in sochi usa won 9 gold medals, with a horrible performance in speed skating, like i said, i dont expect us to lead the table in the end, especially with not a lot of medals if any to be won in sledding, cross country, ski jumping, curling, nordic combined, biathlon (unless bailey will show up in top form) but between skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboard, speed skating and figure skating i'm fairly confident we will eclipse the 6 gold and 20 total you predicted (again 9 gold and 28 total in sochi with 0 speed skating medals)

how did you get to 6 golds by usa? can be just 3 or more between vonn and shiffrin, then snowboarding and freestyle skiing should bring few more in slopestyle, halfpipe, nathan chen in figure skating, possibly speed skating, i dont think we will get most, but i think 6 is under

still not over it, very sad, also scary precedent for basketball for nba players, and probably means will really never see mlb players in baseball, even in the l.a olympics

Amazing amazing amazing amazing. Patriots loosing made it even more amazing

Had a scary fall in Garmish

FBI raid

I feel like winter is really the extreme olympics. Almost every sport i consider extreme. Unlike summer. Most sports someone off the street wont be able to just try to do. Any of the sledding is totally insane. Alpine skiing and especially downhill. Ski jumping?? I feel like the only thing that someone can just start doing is cross country. Biathlon or curling. Obviously not to their level but also not endanger his life in the process

ah ok

hopefully not, there were only 3 mass start's this year....

is the mass start competitors dependent on one of the other competitions prior?

Susan dunklee won medal in that just last year. Anything can happen in biathlon. Remember Lowell Bailey?

I really like steep as well. However are you any good in the alpine events? While it is fun I don't seem to be able to get higher then like 2

Did anyone play this game? i'm actually quite enjoying it, sure it have a pretty low number of events (downhill, giant slalom, slalom, super g, slopestyle, halfpipe, big air, snowboard/freestyle cross, snowboard slalom) but it's pretty fun from what it does have. Furthermore with ubisoft having this license we can hope for a proper tokyo game that didnt exist in rio

i dont think a change.org petitions ever worked

really.... Washington? same leadership that is accused of being helped to win the elections by who exactly? oh thats right, Russia......

shouldn't have helped donald trump win the election

Excuse me? And why is that exactly? Because your country have a long history of doping and finally got caught? Or because you actually had a kgb lab fixing all the samples in Sochi. How many medals you lost from there ? So many that we are again at the top of the table. Did putin figure out how much steroids you need to win the world cup And not be embarrassed on home soil? Don't do the crime if you can't do the time

Americans decided to use all 22 quota's, on basically 2.5 medal hopefuls (shiffrin, vonn and possibly ligety). Our moto is give us all your quota's , we will find a way to use them

there are many people who can ski down a double diamond course, not in a speed of a trained alpine ski'er but still ski down safely, my uncle is in his 60's and ski's the most daring trails around lake tahoe

Guys, Question, are the courses, existing courses in the resort, or are they setting a special course? i never ski'd before, even though i always wanted to try (hopefully will one day) but if let's say i come to St. Moritz, or Cortina, can i ski on the downhill course, or it doesnt really exist outside the world cup competition days
