Sochi 2014 Bobsleigh Recap: Another Successful Olympics, Bobsleigh At It’s Best in 60 Years

March 14, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

The US hadn’t won four medals in bobsleigh since 1932. Back then it required winning medals by both of the two-man teams and both of the four-man teams, but of course the field was smaller and the event less developed. They duplicated that number in 2014 by winning medals in all three events and two in the two-woman.

Two-man

The US team of Steve Holcomb and Steven Langton finished third in Sochi, the only US team in the top ten. It was the first medal for the US in the two-man since 1952! Cory Butner and Christopher Fogt finished 12th with Nick Cunningham and Dallas Robinson placing 13th.

Two-man Yearly Best

Four-man

The US had one four man team in the medals and one outside the top ten. Christopher Fogt, Steve Holcomb, Steven Langton, and Curtis Tomasevicz finished third. It was the third straight Olympics with a medal for the US, the first time they’ve done that since 1948-1956. Nick Cunningham, Justin Olsen, Johnny Quinn, and Dallas Robinson finished 12th.

Four-man Yearly Best

Two-woman

In the newer two-woman event the US had two teams medal. Elana Meyers and Lauryn Williams just missed out on gold (by a tenth of a second) and finished second. Aja Evans and Jamie Greubel finished third and took the bronze. Jazmine Fenlator and Lolo Jones finished 11th. The US has now medaled in all four Olympics but this was the first they’ve double medaled.

Sochi 2014 Speed Skating Recap: And This Is Where It All Went Wrong…

March 11, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

There is probably no discipline in Sochi that was more disappointing for the US. Zero medals. Zero. And this all in an event where the US is winning events and competing regularly at the top on the World Cup circuit right now. What happened? Who knows… We do know that the women have been further away from competing in the past than the men but both genders weren’t close in Sochi with the best individual finishes being 7th place!

Men’s 500m

Shani Davis, Tucker Fredricks, and Mitchell Whitmore all finished in the same range, 24th, 26th, and 27th. Never ever ever before had the top man for the US been lower than 12th.

Mens 500m Yearly Best

Women’s 500m

Womens 500m

The women’s 500m went better with Heather Richardson eighth. Yet Richardson is second in the World Cup standings…. eighth was not great. It is the second best finish though for the US since 1994.

Womens 500m Yearly Best

Men’s 1000m

Mens 1000m

Shani Davis and Brian Hansen were more competitive in the men’s 1000m finishing eighth and ninth. Still the US had someone in the top seven every year since 1992 and had medaled in three straight Olympics. No third straight gold for Davis and no medal at all was disappointing.

Mens 1000m Yearly Best

Women’s 1000m

Womens 1000m

Heather Richardson and Brittany Bowe went 7th-8th for the US which was not a horrible result lately for the US. The Americans haven’t medaled since 2002 and seventh is tied for the best finish since then.

Womens 1000m Yearly Best

Men’s 1500m

Mens 1500m

Brian Hansen finished seventh in the men’s 1500m make this the worst Olympics since 1994 for the US in the event. Shani Davis has won silver in the last two Olympics making it three straight with medals in the event but finished just 11th this year.

Mens 1500m Yearly Best

Women’s 1500m

Womens 1500m

In the women’s 1500m Heather Richardson could only reach seventh for the US and was well off the pace. The women have had some rough years lately so this was the best finish since 2002.

Womens 1500m Yearly Best

Men’s 5000m

Mens 5000m

The US wasn’t remotely competitive in the men’s 5000m with Emery Lehman finishing 16th the top American. It was the first time since 1994 that the US failed to place a skater in the top 14.

Mens 5000m Yearly Best

Women’s 3000m

Womens 3000m

The women’s 3000m featured Jilleanne Rookard who placed 10th. Rookard’s 10th made it three straight Olympics now where the top American has been between ninth and 11th. The US hasn’t medaled in the event since 1980.

Womens 3000m Yearly Best

Men’s 10000m

Mens 10000m

In the men’s 10000m Emery Lehman and Patrick Meek went 10th-11th for the US about 44 seconds behind the winner. It was the first time since 2002 that the US didn’t have anyone in the top eight.

Mens 10000m Yearly Best

Women’s 5000m

Womens 5000m

Only Maria Lamb competed for the US in the women’s 5000m. Lamb’s 16th place finish was the first time since 1992 that the US didn’t have anyone in the top nine.

Womens 5000m Yearly Best

Men’s Team Pursuit

In the men’s team pursuit the US lost in the first round by quite a bit but did manage to win the D Final and finish seventh. It was the worst finish in the three Olympics it has been contested.

Mens Team Pursuit Yearly Best

Women’s Team Pursuit

Womens Team Pursuit

The US women had a bit of a bad break as they drew the Netherlands in the first round and no one else was even close to them. The US lost the C Final though to place 6th, their worst finish in the three Olympics featuring the event.

Sochi 2014 Snowboard Recap: Some Disappointments For the US, But Can You Complain About Three Gold Medals?

March 10, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

There’s no doubt that some of the snowboarding events in Sochi were big disappointments for the US. The US didn’t get their athlete into the elimination rounds of the parallel giant slalom or slalom events. Shaun White only competed in the halfpipe and couldn’t win his third straight gold. Yet they also won three gold medals and two bronze medals so the Olympics certainly weren’t all bad.

Men’s Parallel Giant Slalom

Justin Reiter was the only competitor for the US in the parallel giant slalom. Reiter was off the pace on his first run on the red course and tried to get back in contention on the blue course but wasn’t quick enough as he placed 24th and failed to qualify for the 16-man knockout round. It was the first time in the five Olympics the event has been held without a top ten finish for the US.

Mens Parallel Giant Slalom Yearly Best

Men’s Parallel Slalom

Mens Parallel Slalom

Justin Reiter seemed to do better in the parallel slalom at first as he finished the red course in good shape. Then it was announced he was disqualified for touching a gate and he was eliminated. This was the first parallel slalom at the Olympics.

Men’s Halfpipe

Mens Halfpipe

In the men’s halfpipe Shaun White, Danny Davis, and Greg Bretz all advanced to the final. Once there they disappointed as both Davis and Bretz couldn’t put down a clean run and White’s best effort fell short in 4th with a 90.25. White was the top American in the event for the third straight Olympics but for the first time since the first event in Nagano the US didn’t win the event and for the first time ever they didn’t medal.

Mens Halfpipe Yearly Best

Women’s Halfpipe

Womens Halfpipe

On the women’s side the US was much stronger in the halfpipe. Arielle Gold crashed and injured herself in training and couldn’t start but the three who did all had a lot of success. Hannah Teter just missed out on medaling for the third straight Olympics as she placed fourth and was just 0.25 points behind Kelly Clark who finished third with a 90.50. The US grabbed a gold as well with Kaitlyn Farrington winning by 0.25 points herself over Torah Bright. It was the third time in four Olympics that the US has won the event and made it five for five on medaling.

Womens Halfpipe Yearly Best

Men’s Slopestyle

Mens Slopestyle

In the first ever men’s slopestyle event the US only got one of their three athletes into the final as Ryan Stassel and Chas Guldemond finished 6th and 7th in the semifinal. The man in the final, Sage Kotsenburg used a 93.50 on his first run to put up the best score and grab the gold.

Women’s Slopestyle

Womens Slopestyle

The US made it two-for-two in grabbing the first golds in the slopestyle when Jamie Anderson took first for the US on the women’s side. Anderson was joined by Karly Shorr in the final as she placed sixth Jessika Jenson and Ty Walker just missed out on final spots when they finished fifth and sixth in the semifinals.

Men’s Snowboard Cross

The US advanced two of their four athletes in the snowboard cross from the 1/8 finals with Nick Baumgartner and Nate Holland finishing fourth in their 1/8 finals. Trevor Jacob got eliminated in the semifinals but placed ninth overall while Alex Deibold used thirds in the 1/8 final, quarterfinal, and semifinal to squeak by each time. He did it again in the final to give himself a bronze medal and make it three straight Olympics that the US has medaled in the event. It was the first time the US failed to win it however.

Mens Snowboard Cross Yearly Best

Women’s Snowboard Cross

Womens Snowboard Cross

On the women’s side Jackie Hernandez took a fall on her seeding run and wasn’t able to compete in the rest of the event. Lindsey Jacobellis looked good until losing it late on her semifinal run and finishing sixth in the semifinal. Faye Gulini squeaked bye with thirds in the quarterfinals and semifinals and reached the final. In the final she finished fourth and missed out on a medal. The US has now failed to medal in the last two Olympics after Jacobellis took silver in the first ever event in 2002.

Sochi 2014 Biathlon Recap: US With Best Ever Finish in Five of Ten Events, Appear Closer and Closer to Medaling

March 7, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

It may seem a little surprising that the biathlon is an event the US has never ever had any success in. It seems at the surface like such a simple concept, skiing and shooting, but the amount of conditioning necessary to ski quick enough to be a top biathlon athlete is not simple. And to be able to then calm yourself down in a matter of seconds for a round of shooting is quite incredible. It’s a sport that has eluded the US for decades but might finally be on the verge of becoming a discipline where the US could medal.

The US had the best ever finish in five of the ten events contested in Sochi including the best ever finish any event by an individual man (Lowell Bailey) and woman (Susan Dunklee). The US has still never medaled but it feels closer and closer to happening.

Men’s Sprint

Tim Burke led the way for the US in the men’s sprint finishing 19th. He led a group of three Americans in the top 50 and his 19th place finish was only the third time since 1980 that the US had a finisher in the top 20. It was down from Jeremy Teela’s ninth place finish in 2010.

Women’s Sprint

On the women’s side in the sprint Susan Dunklee finished a solid 14th, the best ever finish by a woman in the event for the US. Sara Studebaker made it two US women that finished ahead of their best finisher from 2010 when she improved on her 45th place finish by one spot.

Sochi Alpine Skiing Recap: US Medals in Four Events, But Success Very Hit and Miss

March 6, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

It may sound great the the US medaled in four separate events in alpine skiing in Sochi but when you consider that there are ten events and the US medaled in six of them in Vancouver you can see how it wasn’t a total success in Sochi. There were some bright moments in events the US hasn’t dominated in the past and one young skier in particular has the potential to be a future star. Still there was not nearly the star power of Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn on the medal stand for the US in this Olympics.

Men’s Downhill

The men were certainly competitive in the downhill with two top eight finishes (Bode Miller eighth and Travis Ganong fifth) but medals are still elusive in this event for the US with just one in the last five Olympics.

Women’s Downhill

Without Lindsey Vonn, the defending gold medalist, the US did their best to try and win the downhill but couldn’t get anyone higher than eighth (Julia Mancuso). They did place three in the top 17 but this was only the second time since 1988 that the US didn’t have anyone in the top seven.

Men’s Super-G

The men’s super-g was a major success for the US with Andrew Weibrecht leading the way with a silver and Bode Miller right behind him grabbing the bronze. It was the second straight Olympics with a super-g medal, the first time the US has medaled in two straight over the eight Olympics it’s been contested in.

Women’s Super-G

The women’s super-g was another event where the US was solid, Julia Mancuso’s eighth place is nothing to scoff at, but wasn’t able to be among the very best. It’s the third time in the last four Olympics that the US hasn’t been able to place anyone in the top six after winning gold in both 1994 and 1998.

Men’s Combined

The men’s combined was a chance for Bode Miller to win back-to-back golds. He was the top US skier but wasn’t able to reach the top five as he finished sixth. Jared Goldberg and Ted Ligety also placed in the top 12 for the US. This was the first time since 1998 that the US didn’t medal in the event.

Women’s Combined

The US only had one of four women finish the combined event but they’ll take it after Julia Mancuso grabbed the bronze medal. Mancuso has now been the top American in four straight Olympics in the combined and her medals in Vancouver and Sochi are the first time the US had medaled in two straight Olympics.

Men’s Giant Slalom

In the men’s giant slalom the US grabbed gold as Ted Ligety stole the show on his first run and did enough on the second run to take first. It was the first ever gold for the US and only their second medal ever after Bode Miller’s silver in 2002.

Women’s Giant Slalom

Mikaela Shiffrin came close to giving the US a medal in the giant slalom but finished fifth place. It was an improvement on 2010 for the US but did make it five times in the last six Olympics that the US did not medal. It’s the second best finish in the last six Olympics.

Men’s Slalom

Only one of the three US men finished in the slalom with Nolan Kasper placing 13th. This is not a strong event historically for the US with only one top 10 visit since 1984. Kasper’s 13th was an improvement on Vancouver where he was the top American in 24th.

Women’s Slalom

Winning gold in the women’s slalom is not something that has been on the radar of the US lately. Mikaela Shiffrin may be the best female slalom skier in the world at just 18, but for the US this was an event that hadn’t seen a top ten finish since 1992 and hadn’t seen a medal winner since 1972. Shiffrin dashed those streaks and perhaps may be starting a new one as she has the potential to be a major figure for the US for the new few Winter Olympics.

Sochi Short Track Speed Skating Recap: No Two Ways About It, A Very Disappointing Olympics for the US

March 5, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

There are few sports that were as disappointing for the US in Sochi as short track speed skating. This is a sport that Apollo Anton Ohno helped get Americans interested in but in Sochi each event brought new disappointment. The sport can be very fluky, the margins are razor thin and one bad break can cost a skater, but to see the US fail to grab even a single individual medal was shocking. They did grab one in the men’s 5000m relay to end the Olympics but that also helped show they have talented skaters and showed how odd it was that they didn’t medal in any other events.

Men’s 500m

The men’s 500m event didn’t go great for the US in fact two of their three competitors finished last in the heats and near the very bottom of the entire field. J.R. Celski was the exception as he advanced all the way to the semifinals where he finished fourth and was placed in the B final. This is an event the US has struggled to medal in with only two finishes in the previous five Olympics higher than Celski’s sixth.

Women’s 500m

For the US women the 500m went slightly worse than for the men. Two of the three were eliminated in the first round just like on the men’s side but Emily Scott could only advance as far as the quarterfinals. She finished 12th which was the second worst all-time for the US just ahead of 1998. The US has not medaled in the women’s 500m since 1994.

Men’s 1000m

The men’s 1000m was another event where the US failed to even get a semifinalist. Both Christopher Creveling and Eduardo Alvarez came up a spot short in the quarterfinal heats. It was the first time since 1992 the US didn’t have someone in the top nine and ended a streak of three straight Olympics with a medal (all by Apollo Anton Ohno).

Women’s 1000m

The closest the US women came to medaling was in the 1000m where Jessica Smith reached the final and finished just off of third. This is an event where the US has only medaled once (silver in Vancouver) so the fourth place finish doesn’t look bad at all historically.

Men’s 1500m

The closest the men came to grabbing a medal in the individual events was the 1500m where J.R. Celski finished fourth and missed out on the bronze. It’s worth noting that Celski’s disappointing Olympics did result in a fourth and a sixth in two individual events and a 13th in the other. The standards are high for the US due to past success and Celski’s talent, that’s why these results are disappointing. The fourth place finish in the 1500m makes it 50-50 so far on if the US medals in the men’s 1500m.

Women’s 1500m

Emily Scott took her turn nearly medaling for the US in the 1500m as she placed fifth. She wasn’t the only one who had success though as Jessica Smith reached the B final and this was the only event where the US had two finalists (including the B-finals). The US has never medaled in this event and this makes two straight top five finishes. It would seem that the women’s speed skating had a stronger Olympics than their male counterparts when compared to past results.

Men’s 5000m Relay

The only medal success the US found in Sochi came in an event they nearly were knocked out of. Falling in the semifinals the US finished fourth and appeared to be eliminated from medal contention. Instead it was ruled they were impeded and they were advanced to the final. In the final an early fall took out everyone but the US and Russia and the two teams dueled for the lead until Russia pulled away at the end a bit to grab gold. This is a strong event for the US and they’ve now medaled three straight Olympics. They’ve never won gold but as long as they don’t get taken out they seem a good bet to medal at the Olympics now.

Sochi Freestyle Skiing Recap: Great Success as Nine Events Produces Seven Medals and Three Golds

March 4, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

Freestyle skiing was a major success story for the US in Sochi. It’s not the traditional Winter Olympic sports at all, but freestyle skiing is a growing discipline that debuted four new events in Sochi. The US won three of those four events and took a silver in the other.

Men’s Aerials

Men’s aerials was not expected to be a strong event for the US but Mac Bohonnon had a great Olympics. After squeaking into the finals field with the sixth and final spot on the second qualification jump Bohonnon went on to advance in the first round of the final and finished fifth overall after narrowly missing out on a spot in the final four with his best jump of the day. The fifth place finish was a bit of a bump back down from 2010 but with Bohonnon still not yet 19 he’ll be a big time challenger in 2018.

Women’s Aerials

The US women started off the aerials competition great with both Ashley Caldwell and Emily Cook advancing on their first jump. They couldn’t duplicate those marks later on though as Caldwell was eliminated on the first jump of the final and Cook was eighth of eight on the second jump. Still the eighth place finish by Cook was the best for the US in the event since Nagano when Nikki Stone won gold.

Men’s Halfpipe

Making it’s Olympic debut was the freestyle skiing version of halfpipe. The US only had one skier perform really well in the qualification round, David Wise. He was second in the qualification round with Aaron Blunck also sneaking into the final in 12th. Both improved with Blunck finishing seventh and Wise winning the first ever gold in the event.

Women’s Halfpipe

On the women’s side all four of the US women advanced to the final with three in the top five (Brita Sigourney, Angeli Van Laanen, and Maddie Bowman). In the final only one of them could make a run at the medals, Maddie Bowman, and her two runs were both good enough to win the first ever gold in the event.

Men’s Moguls

Moguls had produced a men’s medal for four straight Olympics for the US. They couldn’t quite make that five as Patrick Deneen came up short in the last round of the final. After a poor first run Deneen had a good event overall moving steadily up the field and reaching the final six. Bradley Wilson was the other competitor for the US and after a good first run in qualifying couldn’t duplicate it in run one of the final and was eliminated there. It was the first time since 1994 that the US didn’t medal.

Women’s Moguls

the women’s moguls event saw a bit more success for the US than the men’s side. Heather McPhie was eliminated in run one of the final but missed out on moving on by a single spot. Both Eliza Outtrim and Hannah Kearney made the final with Outtrim ending up sixth and Kearney taking home a bronze. It was a bit of a letdown after Kearney’s gold in 2010 but it was only the second time that the US had medaled in back-to-back Olympics in the event and the first since the first two moguls competitions in 1992 and 1994.

Men’s Slopestyle

Of all the events debuting in Sochi, heck of all the events in Sochi, none went better for the US than men’s slopestyle. The US placed three of their four in the top five on the qualification round and all four into the final. Then in the final the US went even better grabbing all three medals in a sweep of the podium by Joss Christensen, Gus Kenworthy, and Nick Goepper. In most events in Sochi Bobby Brown’s ninth place finish would have been strong for the US, in this event if was the fourth best among his countrymen. It was the third ever medal sweep by the US and first since sweeping halfpipe snowboarding in 2002.

Women’s Slopestyle

The US placed all three of their women into the final in women’s slopestyle as well. They couldn’t duplicate the 1-2-3 of the men though as Keri Herman and Julia Krass finished 10th and 11th. Devin Logan did add another medal to the US count with a silver as the US medaled in all four of the new freestyle skiing events in Sochi.

Men’s Ski Cross

The only event in freestyle skiing where the US didn’t have a top-eight finisher was men’s ski cross. Well, they didn’t have anyone in women’s ski cross so that’s not totally true. Still men’s ski cross didn’t go as well. Ski cross can be very hit or miss and for John Teller what was a decent run that had him in contention to move on into the quarterfinals quickly turned into a DNF as he and another skier were vying for position and he was forced off course. Hopefully the US will have some success in ski cross in the future but part of the issue is the lack of competitors as seen by the US only having one man and no women in Sochi.

Sochi Curling Recap – US Fails to Make a Mark at the Olympics

March 3, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

There was some hope going into Sochi that the US curling teams could have a strong Olympics and perhaps make a real mark on Sochi. Instead the men and women combined to go 3-15 in a very disappointing Olympics.

Men’s Curling

The US men went just 2-7 but it was not by a super wide margin as they were only outscored by 11 in the the nine matches. The ninth place result was a step up from Vancouver where they finished 10th but the US has not come close to matching their 2006 Olympics when they finished third. The sport has a cult following during the Olympics but the US hasn’t been able to turn that into success.

Sochi Nordic Combined Recap – US Regresses From Vancouver Results

February 28, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

The US won two medals in Sochi but it was certainly a disappointing Olympics still as the men weren’t in contention for a medal and the team wasn’t close enough to silver to make the end of the team event interesting. There were disappointing performances in a few events but also some bright moments as well with the first gold in ice dancing and a strong showing by some young women in the ladies’ singles.

Normal Hill – 10km

In the normal hill event the top finisher for the US in Sochi was Bill Demong who was propelled by a 21st fastest cross-country portion to a 24th overall finish. No American was in the top 30 in the ski jumping but the cross-country was a strong part for the US. This was the first time since 1992 that the US didn’t have a top 20 finisher in the event and ended a run of three straight Olympics with top eight finishes, the first three times they’d ever been in the top 30.

Large Hill – 10km

In the newer large hill event the US was slightly better with Taylor Fletcher leading the way in 20th place including a big sixth place finish in the cross-country portion that allowed him to make up almost a minute of time. Bryan Fletcher’s 27th in the ski jumping was the best result for the US in the individual ski jumping portions in Sochi. In the short history of the event the US had always had a top nine finisher in the event until Sochi.

Team – Large Hill – 4x5km Relay

In the team event had some of their best jumps in Sochi including a 108.0 from Bill Demong that was the best of all. Still the US was just eighth in the ski jumping and left themselves almost 90 seconds behind the top three heading into the cross-country portion. The US was fairly strong in the cross-country but had too much ground to make up and finished in sixth. It was the first time since 1998 that the US didn’t finish in the top seven in the event.

Sochi Figure Skating Recap – A Gold For The US, but a Down Year for Singles

February 27, 2014 Jon Green Leave a comment

Men’s Singles

In the men’s competition we didn’t necessarily expect the US to be a strong medal contender but we certainly hoped for a better result than we got. The best finisher for the US was Jason Brown, but he finished just 9th in the competition. It was the first time since 1936(!!) that the US didn’t have a finisher in the top six. Brown is young enough that he may be the leading man in 2018 and hopefully if he is he’ll be able to finish a little higher. The US isn’t used to being out of the medal race like this.
