Give NBC credit for showing the finish of the Nordic Combined instead of the Women's 3000m speed skating which is going on now.

 

[OK!]

10-0 USA now

3000 m Women's speed skating update...

Nancy Peltz-Swider from the USA is in the lead with 4 pairs to go. Guess NBC is saving this for primetime...

Thanks.

And congrats to the American. Our commentators said he almost didn't make the Olympic team (did catch exactly what they said, it seemed like his medal was a pleasant surprise).

 

[suejai]

So exciting Woo Hoo

Oh yes, should also add that Bryan Wilson had a great run and totally deserves his medal!

 

[imabrat]

Oh, poor Patrick Deneen. That had to hurt. CONGRATS to Canada!

 

[autumnpalm]

Bilodeau!!!

That still kind of blows my mind that Canada had never won a gold medal in a home Olympics until now. Crazy!

To be fair - we've only had two previous Olympics on our soil (and one was a, non-boycotted, Summer Olympics).

Still bad, but not as bad as you may think (if you are thinking of how many times the US has hosted the Olympics).
