@ehBeth,

No NHL players might have something to do with it.

I tried to figure out a way to get both the Dutch and Austria, but I just couldn't make Austria fit without giving up a team that I wanted even more.

I also find that there is a downside to not including your own country on your fantasy team. I keep finding myself rooting for Norwegians to beat American athletes.

I figured that the last couple unspent points that I had would be most useful to me if I left them unspent.

Winter Olympics: Jamaica's women's bobsleigh coach Sandra Kiriasis quits

By Anna Thompson
BBC Sport in Pyeongchang

The Jamaican women's historic Winter Olympics bobsleigh debut is under threat after their coach quit and threatened to take the team's sled.

German Sandra Kiriasis, an ex-Olympic champion, claims she was forced out when her role was changed, and that she is legally responsible for the sled.

Kiriasis wants payment for it but the Jamaica Bobsleigh Federation declined and is disputing she owns the sled.

Oralloy's Olympic Figure Skating Predictions, 2018 Edition

Pairs
Gold: Germany - Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot
Silver: China - Sui Wenjing / Han Cong
Bronze: Canada - Meagan Duhamel / Eric Radford

I doubt my other low-confidence predictions will be that accurate however.

I'm so happy for Aliona. She finally got her Olympic gold medal.

I'm still freaked out by Slovenia beating the US in hockey.

@ehBeth,

I think a lot of Slovenes are too.

A fair number of skaters seem to have gone to familiar programs. There was a segment on CBC radio about it last week.

I hope Jin Boyang (China) keeps his Star Wars long program. He's not the only person to ever do a Star Wars skate. In fact one of the Chinese pairs is doing a Star Wars themed skate this year too.

But there's just something about his Star Wars skate that feels particularly "Star Wars-y".

EDIT: Darn it, the videos won't play embedded because they are copyrighted.

Oh well. I'll change from embeds to direct links to YouTube.

Obviously a great skater but I had to watch a couple of Elvis Stojko palate-cleansers afterward. He's still the one for me Smile

@George,

ehBeth doesn't have any unique countries that have scored, so if there's an error, it's unlikely that she's the only one affected. I'm not seeing a problem. Can you post the country scores for her that should add up to 166?
