The Russians are in full fear and doing better than expected. American and Norwegian women are below the projections... and Croatia & Sweden are finally on the board
.
I know some A2K Croatian who is in Turin right now and must be happy. today.

Great comeback by George, guided not by his German women, but by his good Group C picks.
jp was hurt today for not choosing Austria.
Woo-hoo!
Back in this thing.
My frauleins must kick it up a notch.
Their biathlon results were disappointing.
I have high hopes today for the team pusuit speed skating.
May get a skeleton medal, too.
Six days of competition.

It was a good day for husker, osso & jespah; a bad one for George & me. Osso and myself got to thank Kristina Smigun for another 5 unexpected points.
It now looks like one of those races in which the pursuing group changes places very often, hoping that the leader will falter. Jespah threatens to come from behind, but needs a very strong Canadian and US women showing to do it (and perhaps an unheard of Irish medal).
So far, this would be the perfect combination:
Group A:
Russia
US Men
Norway Men or Germany Men
Group B:
Austria
Sweden
China
Group C:
Estonia
Australia
Czech Republic
Bulgaria
(or Slovakia & Great Britain instead of the latter two)

The perfect combination gives 156 points.
Husker is playing at 86% of perfection.

Go Ireland! I will enjoy a potato dish in your honor.
PS Thanks for the updates and keeping score.

My personal comment: Blessed Estonians! Damn Swiss!
(Hey but it was a good lesson for the boastful American brat to lose her gold medal!)
One step forward... two steps back seems to be my pattern so far.
I am late, so I don't expect to be counted. But I cannot resist but to pitch in my two cents:
Group A
Russia, Canada, USA Men
Group B
Switzerland, Austria, Sweden
Group C
Australia, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Estonia
Don't count me in. I just want to put this down for the record.

Hi Douglas.
Eight days of competition. We're half way there.

Husker's lead starts to be sizeable.
The pursuing group is still a pack (osso is in third because she has 16 points in Group C, against George's 14 points).
Jespah needs a miracle.

Sentiment served her well!
