Day 6: Much Success

A very busy day in Pyeongchang has the standings shaking up a bit:

Soohorang Success leaps toward the top with THREE gold medals on Day 6.  Johannes Thingnes Bo finally finds Success and captures a Biathlon gold.  She also captured gold with the ageless wonders from Germany (but really Ukraine and France) Shevchenko/Massot in the pairs figure skating event (Russian Ministry of sport got the bronze with Duhamel/Radford of Canada), and another gold from Natalie Geisenberger in the team Luge event. What a day!

The day could have been better as she initially selected "Eggs Benedict" from Germany in the Luge as well, but with their loss in the doubles luge event, Wendl/Arlt of Seoul Searching was the chosen team to participate in the team Luge event.  This was a golden occasion for Seoul Searching as Germany did take the Gold. Canada took the Silver, giving points to Alex Gough of Run DMZ, and Austria took the Bronze securing points for Penz/Fischler of Incheon Closer.

With Luge now concluded we can see the net impact of the picks -
Seoul Searching is the big winner with Wendl/Arlt earning 15 points more than expected!
Team Mark is the biggest loser with Felix Loch earning no medals and resulting in 20 points less than the expected total. 

Other action:

• Alpine skiing  - Mikaela Shiffrin got her gold in the downhill for Run DMZ, and for the men's downhill Kjetil Janrud of the "Attacking Vikings" grabbed the silver for Team Mark, and Beat Feuz the bronze for Luge Yourself
• Biathlon - Anastasya Kuzmina scores her second silver for Russian Ministry of Sport, and Laura Dahlmeier continues her excellent games with a bronze for Red White and Luge
• Cross-Country Skiing - Charlotte Kalla took the silver for Run DMZ and Marit Bjorgen TIED for bronze (how does that happen?), and Lindsey Vonn-miting is glad for the bronze.
• Men's Snowboardcross - no one won anything
• Long Track Speed Skating - TED BLOEMAN delivers again and grabs the gold in the 10000m.  Incheon Closer is celebrating his wild card pick. Sven Kramer struggles and finishes off the podium for Lindsey Vonn-miting. Bloeman is the first non-Dutch athlete to win Gold in Long track, even though he was born in the Netherlands.

We're getting closer to the midpoint of these games - Here's hoping that Suk-hee year stops having a Suk-hee year at the Fantasy Olympics!
