    Olympics 2018

    Congrats to the USA winners so far in Snowboard Wins in the SlopeStyle by Red Gerard and Jamie Anderson, then hangry Chloe Kim blows away her competition in the half pipe with the best two scores in the finals (three if you include the qualifier).

    But then... Shaun White. Best score in the 1st round of qualifiers 93, then gets passed by a 95 and 96. Nails a back-to-back 1440 and gets a 98.5. Finals will be lit! Still has it at 31 yrs old.

    Shaun White wins his third gold medal, making him the first male American to win in three winter olympics. He fell in his second run, after getting passed again, but nailed his third He'll probably be back, but his competition is much younger than he is. It was also the 100th Gold winter game medal for the USA, only Norway with 121 has more, with the huge advantage in Nordic. I made a mistake in the last post... he hit back-to-back 1260's in that qual run, but in his last run he did hit a back-to-back 1440., and had huge amplitude.

        No medals today. Shiffrin only got 4th in the Slalom, and Lindsey Jacobellis also only got 4th in the Snowboard Cross... probably her last chance to win a medal after dominating that event in the World Cup and X-games. Tomorrow will be Lindsey Vonn's first race, the Super G, and Mikaela will be taking a break, prepping for the Downhill.

          Well, no medals for the USA men in Hockey. Blah. Women play Canada for the Gold.

          Hasn't been a gold since the Shiffrin win, and Vonn won a Bronze in the Downhill. Congrats to the Shib Sibs for their bronze in the Ice Dance. Overall pretty paltry for medals for the Americans, but Norway is dominating.

            Congrats to Kikkan Randall and Jessie Diggans, winning the Cross Country Freestyle Team Sprint.. first USA Gold in Cross Country, and first medal for the women. Great race. Last medal for the USA was the Silver by Bill Koch, in 1976.

              Another close one but not the best for Elana Meyers Taylor, with Lauren Gibbs in the Womens Bobsled... only by .07 sec.

                        5 straight wins, and that shot that doubled their score, vs. the Swedes, the best team in the world. Miracurl on ice!
