I mean, can't complain about our progress so far...
 
On top of the leaderboard in figure skating, undefeated in curling so far, won our hockey game, Vonn made it down and had other good showings by Johnson and Wiles...let's go!

is the first team to win with the yellow stones on Sheet A.

I woke up this morning, fulling expecting to see an L for us...but nope!  7-5 over  !  Go Team K/Cor(e)y! 

And it is Malinin who will do the M FS.
 
10 Points for C&B!  

A great day for  !  We won both curling matches and our W hockey match.  Oliver Martin is into the finals for Big Air Snowboard.
 
Tomorrow is the best day...OC!
 
But also...
 
Figure Skating - We get the first three rounds of the team event (Dance, Pairs, and Women's)
Curling - Games vs.  and  (The Canada looks to be our toughest, considering how they manhandled  today)
 
 

Vonn on the schedule for the training run at 5:30 in the morning, starting 9th.  :-/  We'll see!

!   Looking good!

Great performance by . Dominant win over . 2-0 after their first day of competition!!

Just finished watching the replay of the match. Made some mistakes early on, especially in the 2nd end. We capitalized on multiple Norway mistakes in the 8th end to get the steal. Plenty of room for improvement for USA, but good to start with a win!

Nice way to wake up, realizing we won our first XD match! 8-6 vs.   It was tied 6-6 in the 7th, they had hammer, and we still stole two in the last end.  

And the lights went out

lol five minutes into the Olympics and there is already something embarassing - the lights went off

Probably not Vonn anymore, unfortunately

Someone posted this in the main forum the other day, and I enjoy how they break down the odds for each event based on past results.

The first match will start in 24 hours.

I feel like if Malinin did LP alone, we'd win regardless of who else skated.

So she says!  I just happened to turn on Peacock and noticed the press conference...watching now.
 
...and doing this with a ruptured ACL.  Dang.

I do just want to tell her, though...'It's okay if you don't compete!  Take care of yourself!'  But I know she's determined...

We were all wrong
 
Erin Jackson and Frank Del Duca

I just looked, and last time, it was two days before it started...so if things go like that, then Wednesday might be the day.

Looks like Malinin will skate the SP and USA will re-asses ahead of free skate.
 

Week 4 - 26 Jan-01 Feb
 
Tennis - Some good success here at the Australian Open!
Men's Singles - Learner Tien and Ben Shelton made it to the QF.
Women's Singles - Iva Jovic, Coco Gauff, and Amanda Anasimova made it to the QF.  Jessica Pegula made it to the SF.
Men's Doubles - Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski  won!
Women's Doubles - Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova  made it to the QF.
Mixed Doubles - Christian Harrison/Irina Khromacheva  and JJ Tracy/Anna Danilina  made it to QF, while Taylor Townsend/Nicola Mektic  made it to SF.
 
Squash - Olivia Weaver fought hard, but ended up in 2nd.  
 
Soccer - We beat Chile 5-0.
 
Road Cycling - Luke Lamperti ended up in 12th (in the lead pack) in the Great Ocean Road Race.
 
Equestrian - A USA sweep of the podium, with Kyle King taking top prize.  (Holy cow the sum of the prize amounts are massive...$340,000 for this event.)
 
Table Tennis - Hasn't quite wrapped up with, but given the rankings, Kanak Jha should end up in second (unless he can pull an upset over Hugo Calderano), and Lily Zhang should also end up in second (unless she beats Bruna Takahashi). Edit: Amy Wang took out Bruna!  So, USA ends up 1-2.     And second edit: Amy Wang wins over Lily Zhang, despite being a lower ranking (61 vs 37).  Played great!
 
Rugby Sevens - US Women came up in 4th in Singapore.
 
Cricket - The men won a practice round against Oman, and we're doing two more warm-ups this week in preparation for the WC.  The Women, unfortunately, ended up in 5th place, being the first out in the Qualifier for the WC.  But hopefully they earned some good experience for the future!
 
 
Coming up in Week 5 - A ton!  Nevermind that the Olympics also start...
 
Cricket - The men have two warm-up matches this week before starting the World Cup later.
 
Table Tennis - North American Championships
 
Tennis - Women have a tourney in Abu Dhabi.  Our Men will face  in the Davis Cup.
 
Road Cycling - Perhaps Chloe Dygert or another American woman will also be in  ?
 
Flag Football - Our men play vs.  on Thursday...watch on the NFL Youtube.  (This is an exhibition match, but it's unofficially to see who 'won' the gold from the recent championship game that got called off.)
 
Squash - Another Platinum tourney in Chicago.
 
Fencing - Foil and Épée will be contested.
 
Wrestling - Zagreb Open time!  
 
Rhythmic Gymnastics - We have a US Event.
 
Rugby Sevens - Our women will have a Try (pun, sorry!) down in .
 
Equestrian - World Cup Jumping in  .
 
Boxing - US International Open
 
Judo - Paris Grand Slam
 
 
I also added the Indoor Archery and Track/Field events to the calendar, but I didn't post any results, simply because the events are different.  But Brady Ellison has still achieved some success in Archery (as has Nicholas D'Amour, who shows USA, but competes for  in the Olympics), and the two indoor athletics meets thus far have featured primarily American athletes, but the upcoming ones in the next couple of weeks are in Europe...probably will feature European athletes.

So sorry to hear about Lindsey Vonn's crash...  I hope she is okay #1, and #2 I just hate it for her, if it dampens her chances at succeeding in Milan.  She had such an amazing WC season leading up to this.  For her sake, I hope she can find a way to pull through.  Regardless, I hope she is proud of what she has already accomplished this year (not to mention everything else in her past).

Thanks for sharing it — I made the site and only found this great forum because of your post.

I’ll keep updating the predictions from bookmaker odds (not only AI) until the Games. It’s not 100% perfect, but I think it gives a good overall view per NOC.

I also added an interactive calendar where you can filter by country to see the best medal chances per day for your NOC: https://winter-olympics-2026.datasportiq.com/calendar

I'm French 🇫🇷 , and I hope we can beat our winter record by winning 6 gold medals. We need to stay dominant in biathlon as always, and ski mountaineering is a nice addition for us we're favorites in the women's and mixed events.
