Day 3: Everyone is on the board!

Day 3 is in the books and the team figure skating final helped almost everyone to get some points on the board.  Here's the look at the scoreboard for day 3:


Team Canada was as smooth as maple syrup on the ice and secured the team figure skating gold.  Their twizzles were twinkling, their salchows were sassy, and their lutzes (sp?) loomed large.  Celebrating the Canucks Craft were Incheon Closer to the Title, Run DMZ, Russian Ministry of Sport, and Team Mark.  Suk-hee year and Luge Yourself secured a silver with the supposed non-doping Olympic Athletes from Russia, and true patriots Red White and Luge and Lindsey Vonn-miting got the bronze with team USA.
On the outside looking in without success were Soohorang Success and Seoul Searching for Gold - there's still time to find that gold success.


Significant happenings in Biathlon with Johannes Thingnes Bo once again coming up far short of the podium in the pursuit race.  The #1 expected dominant pick has struggled in Pyeongchang and is proving to be a potential bust as a #1 pick.  Once projected for 45 points, he's already down to only 25 possible points remaining - not out of reach but not good prospects with the performances so far.  In Biathlon the events build on each other and this is not good momentum.  Soohorang Success is sweating the shots.
Martin Fourcade of Seoul Searching was able to overcome a poor showing yesterday and catch the leader Arnd Peiffer of Incheon Closer to grab the Gold medal comfortably.  He shot so well and skiied so deftly that he had time to pick up a French flag from the crowd and fist pump to victory.  Pump your fist, Seoul Searching because you found Gold.
In the women's pursuit Laura Dahlmeier of Red White and Luge has lived up to the hype by skiing through pain and poor form to hold off the field and claim her second gold.  Anastasiya Kuzmina from Russian Ministry of Sport fought hard but couldn't catch Dahlmeier to claim the silver.

Elsewhere in the Games:

• Long Track saw more Dutch Dominance and another medal for Ireen Wust - this time GOLD for Lindsey Vonn-miting. Disappointing showing for Team USA with a chance for Heather Bergsma, the World Record Holder, getting out too fast in the final pairing knowing what she needed to do to win. Red White and Luge stole a Silver from the Dutch with Miho Takagi of Japan sliding into second.
• Jamie Anderson from Team USA defended her gold medal in Snowboarding inn Slopestyle - outdoing projections and making Incheon Closer proud of the value pick
• Lindsey Vonn-miting puked and rallied for a strong day with Mikael Kingsbury bouncing to gold in moguls - straight to the top of the leaderboard
• Women's Ski Jumping finished up for only the second time ever in the Olympics - Maren Lundby took the Gold for Run DMZ and Lindsey Vonn-miting celebrated again with Katharina "Brick" Althaus getting the silver.

Day 4 is in action and is shaping up to be a big one on the scoreboard with the first Alpine Skiing and Curling medals in play.
