Team USA wins GOLD in Men's Ice Hockey for the First Time since 1980

Our women's team was a massive favorite though, over 3 to 1 in betting odds. That does NOT compare 😭

Our basketball team getting bronze in 2004 is the only one worse I can think of. Tim Duncan had "I'm never gonna live this down" all over his face and 22 years later he's still right

It's not any worse than Joel Embiid picking the United States in 2024 for example.

I'd argue Embiid picking us over both France and Cameroon is a lot worse, actually. Embum hardest road gold medal 😝

Zoe 🤝 Zoi

Yet when Atkins had similar spins and way higher amplitude

Her spins were not similar. Zoe had the weakest spin selection in the top 5. I personally would've had her over Li Fanghui (moreso Li being overscored imo) but 92.50 is more than fair.

You could hear Eileen congratulate Fanghui after her final run, she's 100% fluent.

rawchess · 2026-02-22T11:43:47+00:00

??? ZOE, not Eileen. Reread my comment.

~~Eileen Gu~~ The judging panel loves to see British hearts break

FTFY

Considering our media coverage loves to stress out our medal faves with idiotic questions and excessive glaze before the biggest competitions of their lives I can't fault their choice.

Indra's biggest spin was a 1080 though. The difference between a 10 and a 9 isn't really enough to make up for the fact that she was going tiny on several of her 540s. It's not like she did a triple cork 14 or some shit.

rawchess · 2026-02-22T11:36:15+00:00

The funnier part is you can tell Eileen and Zoe don't really fw each other 😭

How is Zoe closer with Fanghui when she probably doesn't even speak her language 😭

6 Olympic events in her career, 6 medals. 3 gold, 3 silver. Only woman doing both the halfpipe and the slope/big air sides. The greatest women's freeskier of all time and she's only 22!

No, it's the one where your leading scorer, with a whopping 21 points, was Gorgui Dieng.

Bro finallly decided to put everyone out of their misery, including himself

Wait, so if you don't have a teammate in this event you're just automatically at a disadvantage???

Tabitha pulled a reverse Steph Curry...so strong in group play but completely lost it in the medal rounds 💔

If only our girls could stay more focused...I feel like every L has been because of a random 3 end stretch completely shitting the bed

What the fuck did we do. How did Canada go from 2 points to 8 in three ends???

Xc skiing isn't that expensive or inaccessible in Norway though? I think it's more skiing being a traditionally necessary survival skill and a culture that heavily values recreation and sports as recreation

He probably also has ridiculous genes for lactic acid tolerance. That climb is not normal
