3 Events to Go!

Sorry for the delay, folks. I've just been so busy with all of my vacation activities that I couldn't find the time to post an update yesterday!

What a day to miss! Canada went absolutely nutty winning some 8 medals in two days. (Yes, Laurie, the USA did pretty OK too.)

It looks like Vegas did a decent job of picking the winners for the Olympics (never bet against the house) but a little national pride helps too. Luke is currently tied for second place with yours truly, just one behind Emma. Long-time leader, Alli is just 2 points out of the lead. I honestly can't stomach Emma winning another one of these things!!!

All of the top contenders picked Team Canada to win hockey. No one has USA, but the rest have Canada or Germany to win the overall medal count (Germany will earn "silver" and Canada "bronze" it seems). So, today's story looks like this:

Entrant, 50km CC pick, Men's Hockey Pick, Overall Meal count
- Emma, Bauer (cze), Canada, Germany
- Grant, Olsson (swe), Canada, Canada (needs olsson and bauer to not medal)
- Luke, Bauer (cze), Canada, Canada (so he can't beat emma)
- Alli, Northug (nor), Canada, Canada (needs northug and bauer to not medal)
- Tim, Bauer (cze), Canada, Germany (can't catch emma, but a bauer gold could put him in medals)
- Dave, Northug (nor), Canada, Germany
