Who would have made the US team that was playing for another country?
Serious question.
For Italy in 2026, I can’t think of anyone.

Mahomes should start and play the first and third quarters.
Fields should get the second and fourth.
Signed,
The rest of the AFC

BYU with a very favorable draw
Also Miami should be annoyed about getting a road game as the lower seed in the first round.

If I was a St. John’s fan, I would be pissed about being a 5 seed.

Most demoralizing easy double digit rivalry win ever.
Foster could be out for the year.
I’m not too concerned with Ngongba as it seemed completely precautionary and he was moving very well even with the boot.
Foster on the other hand…

Very talented and versatile actor.
And for a generation of us, before he was Air Bud’s abusive owner, he was Elmo’s best friend on Sesame Street :lol:

It looks like he has a real endorsement as well (ASICS) and not some BS where he gets NIL from a booster.
He can continue to be a track athlete for ASICS, run for his college, and get his degree.
The G League guys coming back mid-season are much more absurd than this imo.

Not a parent, but I think the two areas that would have the most stability would be medical jobs and construction/civil engineering.

I think Stockholm for the ice sports and Are for the skiing is expected to be a major contender after the Utah games.
Would be the first Scandinavian Olympics since Lillehammer.

re: Is the high cost to play hockey the reason it isn't as popular?
Posted by Keys Open Doors on 2/22/26 at 10:22 pm to UltimaParadox
Even in Houston, the kids playing hockey have to share ice time with figure skaters and people who rent it out for birthday parties.
The winter sports are just much less accessible for people in general. Clearly luge, skeleton, and bobsled are the least accessible, but I believe there are only 4 or 5 long tracks for speed skating in the whole country.
Ice hockey is clearly more accessible than those but nowhere near the major team sports or golf, tennis, track, or swimming.
I’d say the most accessible winter sports is actually freestyle skiing and snowboarding, specifically slopestyle.
One of the Olympians came from A Perfect North, which is nowhere near as exclusive as Jackson Hole or Aspen and is mostly used by kids in Ohio and Indiana on the weekends.

On NBC Primetime, I don’t know if I saw more than 10 minutes of curling highlights per day. Many days, it wasn’t even mentioned.
They usually showed 4-5 sports per day. Figure skating definitely got more than the other sports, but almost all of the sports got airtime.
In terms of the NBC feed, curling got less than almost all of the sports.

There was a NASCAR owner or driver (it’s been like two decades and I’m not a NASCAR guy so I can’t remember) who was significantly involved in US bobsledding and within a couple of years, the men won the Olympics.
I think funds make a huge difference.

I think they showed every single US ceremony in primetime, too.
I didn’t watch prime time every night, but I saw the aerials team, Shifrin, Breezy Johnson, Jordan Stolz, etc on the podium

Sled technology and significant number (relatively speaking) of places for their elite athletes to train.
I believe the US has two places. Most countries have one (or none). I think the Germans have four or five so they aren’t just memorizing a single course.

That was round 1, where she did poorly.
But she got 5th overall, in line or better than expectations bc she’s never gotten an individual medal.
Agreed on Malinin. Our biggest or second biggest name heading in, with an impeccable resume. Then a terrible performance in round 2 that took him off the podium altogether.
I got a kick out of his dramatic voiceovers during his performance where he says the most trite things as if they are profound :lol:

It was the best medal haul per event for the US outside of 1980, 2002, and 2010, all of which were in North America. There will be a caveat because of Russia’s absence, though a lot of Russias are now competing for Georgia, Kazakhstan, etc.
Unless we want to go 1952 with 22 events and minimal Asian presence :lol:

Amber Glenn, who has never won a single individual medal at a major event, held a very weird place in the mind of certain Twitter accounts, though she ultimately finished in 5th place.
Outside of this board, I saw nothing about it being a disappointing performance.
This was one of the strongest US Winter Olympic teams heading into the games and outside of Malinin (who did choke), overall the team met or exceeded expectations.
There were some other disappointments like with short track speed skating for the women, but also surprises like women’s moguls, Ben Ogden in cross country skiing, and team aerials

Biathlon and cross country skiing have massive medal hauls, and it’s their two best events. They also have the equivalent of Michael Phelps in his prime in the latter event.
Unlike Sweden and Finland, they have minimal presence in the only team sport, ice hockey.
The US is the one country where they send at least somewhat competitive athletes in every sport besides biathlon, whereas Norway has no presence in luge, bobsled, figure skating, hockey, etc but they are damn efficient at what they’re into.
