Day 6: Jezebel

Busy day for me today, so I'm low on narratives, but wanted to get the scoreboard updates out.

I do want to be sure to note...the Ice Dance controversy did make the news cycle today as expected.  The scores from each judge were reviewed and the FRENCH JUDGE once again center stage of scandal. Quite fittingly, her actual name is JEZEBEL. 5 of the 9 judges ranked the US higher than the French team, but Jezebel's scores for France were so much higher that it overcame the difference and secured the Gold for her home country.  This is why judging in sports is, as the McAllisters would say, "les incompétents."

Around the Games:

• Alpine Skiing - GOLD for Frederica Brignone of Jamaican Bobsled Time! in Super-G
  
  
• Freestyle Skiing - SILVER for Mikael Kingsbury of Ice Ice Penne in Men's Moguls
  
  
• Cross-Country Skiing - Second GOLD for Frida Karlsson of Ice Ice Penne and Second SILVER for Ebba Andersson of Im-Pasta-Bowl Odds.  Jessie Diggins of Team USA and Jamaican Bobsled Time takes the Bronze!
  
  
• Snowboarding - SILVER for Eliot Grondin of Ice Ice Penne; SILVER for Chloe Kim of Team USA and Schrimscetti Skis
  
  
• Long-Track Speed Skating - BRONZE for Ragne Wiklund of It's Jamaican Bobsled Time!
  
  
• Short Track - Women - GOLD for Xandra Velzeboer of Schrimscetti Skis, and a WORLD RECORD bonus that she achieved in the semi-finals! SILVER for Ariana Fontana of John the Baptist, and BRONZE for Courtney Sarault of Blades of Glory-ish
  
  
• Short Track - Men - GOLD for Jens van 'T Wout of TASMWTAM, yes, that's how you spell his name.
  
  
• Luge - the team relay event had a single man, woman, and a double mens and womens teams combine to blast down the track one at a time. At the finish line they have to sit up in the sled and smack a level that releases the gate at the beginning for their next teammate.  It's a crazy event!  GOLD goes to Germany, making many of our teams happy - TASMWTAM, Jamaican Bobsled, and Schrimscetti Skis all get a gold. Austria got the Silver, and that gives points to Ice Ice Penne, Blades of Glory-ish, and My Verona.

Lot of points today (not for me!), here's the score update! Jamaican Bobsled Time felt the rhythm and rhyme today!
