2014 Winter Olympics

Looks like he/she picked Switzerland and Sweden in Group B.

Could be, Tico. I was confused by the [s] and more [ ]. As a sometime game runner, I appreciate wheel's task regarding getting this going on short notice.

Hi Guys, yeah for some reason the ----- through Norway didn't work on this site but I changed them to Sweden....

It looks like we're all set -- we just need @Jahiegel to select a different Group B selection (besides Norway)...



Can someone let Jahiegel know?

Thanks, and good luck to all!
Wheel

Thank you wheel158!

If it is not too late, here are my picks:

Group A
Germany Women
USA Women

Group B
Austria
South Korea

Group C
Czech Republic
Netherlands

Group D
Australia
Croatia
Estonia
Poland

Seems like it's not too late..

the more the giddier

or something like that

You're good!

@tgordon92 (and others who may be interested): After much hunting, I finally found separate medal tables for Men, Women and Mixed:

Men: http://olympics.cbc.ca/medals/gender=m/index.html
Women: http://olympics.cbc.ca/medals/gender=w/index.html
Mixed: http://olympics.cbc.ca/medals/gender=x/index.html

Thank you CBC!

At the end of Day 1, no medals yet for Germany or Russia, but it's early. Also note that Jahiegel's team still needs another Group B team (there are several that haven't gotten medals yet):

(NOTE: I used a mostly-automated spreadsheet, but I'd appreciate a double-check on my calculations)

Thanks for the scores so far, wheel. (I'm the wrong one to check your calcs)

Others have picked places I should have picked re teams I want to win. I'll kick myself if Italy and Estonia do well in their categories.
Oh, and Jamaica..

Nice job Wheel! Thanks for doing that for us.

Don't worry--it's only Day 1. There are 98 medal events in all...

McG takes an early lead!!

At the end of Day 2, Russia and Germany Men finally get on the board. Germany Women are still searching for their first medal. Also note that Jahiegel's team still needs another Group B team (there are several that haven't gotten medals yet).

Additionally, today was the first Mixed event (Team Figure Skating), and I realized I had a mistake when adding those scores in. No biggie, it's fixed now.

Here are the scores; sdelong takes the lead (every nation her team has scored points already):

I think Team Johnboy is having a pretty good day. These medals are getting heavy.

I'll be rooting for ya Johnboy. If I could donate my points to ya... I would.
