2016 Fantasy Olympics Winners

As revealed at our Closing Ceremonies, here are your 2016 Fantasy Olympics Medalists:




GOLD - PiranhaMama
PiranhaMama attacked the podium with the ferocity of 100 swarming fish and was the only team to break 200 points.  She featured a balanced attack with only 3 picks not earning any points.  Her team was led by Simone Biles, of course, raking in the golds.

SILVER - Brazil Nuts
Michael Phelps paved the way to the fantasy silver for Brazil Nuts on all the gold medals he won at these games.  Despite 6 picks not earning any points, Brazil Nuts chose wisely when called upon, and perhaps their patriotic approach paid off with Team USA finding ways to win across the board.

BRONZE - Team Mark
Team Mark languished in last place virtually the entire time, however, his drafting strategy of choosing the most reliable team picks clearly paid off in the end, as Team Mark jumped from last to 3rd all on the final day of competition.  Usain Bolt also clearly helped put Team Mark on the medal stand, contributing 3 gold medals.

Here's the final standings, along with consolation prizes for everyone else:



Ultimately, the standings were close, top to bottom.  A few different results and everything could have wildly changed.  I did get last (booo) but if the Australian Men's Field Hockey team had won gold as projected, I would have won the Bronze.  One result can change it all!

It was an exciting games - thank you all for participating, and we will see you all in 2018 in PyeongChang for the Fifth Fantasy Olympiad!
