Wow, huge win for US in women's cc team sprint! I watched Diggins in one or two of her other events, and it just seemed like she was trying her best, but falling well short of all these superhuman Scandinavians. Somehow they pull out the win over Sweden and Norway. Best day yet for the US with 4 medals.

Stayed up way too late and watched it live (couldn't just shut it off and go to sleep once it went to OT). Daoust's goal was gorgeous, but J Lamoureux's might have been even better. M Lamoureux's tying goal in the third - a breakaway style goal not that different from a penalty/shootout - was also fantastic.

Not only did we prevent Canada from a five-peat in women's hockey, we also bumped off their men's curling team in the semifinal, preventing a four-peat there as well! We still basically have no chance to catch Canada in the standings anymore, given what's left, but that's a satisfying day of triumph over our neighbors to the north.

Overall, the women are definitely carrying the US. Step it up guys! Go get that first ever curling gold.

As exciting as the prospect of our first curling gold is, it's still not nearly enough to get me to actually watch curling, no matter when it's on. ;D

If you are into strategy games I would suggest giving it a try.

I'm so sad the finals are on Shabbos  :-[ (no fax please)
It's been a great run, but still don't feel confident going into the finals.

It seems this Olympics for the US has been turned upside down. The underdogs are winning and the favorites are not. Hopefully for this event the pattern continues!  :)

Cross country skier Jessie Diggins will be the flag bearer for the United States at the closing ceremony of the Pye the Olympics closing ceremony, Team USA announced.

Diggins along with Kikkan Randall became the first American women to win a gold medal in cross country skiing when they beat Sweden and Norway.

Diggins passed both countries on the final lap to bring home the historic medal.

They also predicted DT would be president in 2001 or something. With so many episodes they are bound to get some guess right.
