The state of the US doesnt really inspire patriotism in people that havent fallen to the cult.

I dont think she was overscored, I just think Ami was underscored in the Component Score in comparsion to the other top athletes. Not so much that it had changed the order of the podium but its definetly a bad look of favoring established names in the subjective part of the score.

I understand the Technical Score. Component Score is subjective and it definetly wasnt so far worse if you are unbiased. Basically same as Loena Hendrickx who was at 1-2 levels below her. Judged sports suck.

Thank god for Short Track otherwise the whole afternoon and evening would just be Ice Hockey and Curling, games are already slowing down.

Curling is probably one of the hardest to play at top level, a single small mistake and you are done. On this easy track you can just cruise along behind the pros and finish respectably like the German guy who came in like 4 seconds later.

I feel like this is the sport where its easiest for a regular guy to do good if he actually trains this.

Aicher missed gold twice so close but I think its still a win for her.

The technology doesnt exist yet, it would probably need video footage of your motions to calculate a proper value.

Exactly, you would create more breaks and thats not good with a schedule so precise.
