In a sport where they were expected to excel, they never once made the medal platform.
And the U.S. girls finished second in hockey a couple of days ago by giving up two late goals to Canada in regulation before losing it in OT.
And the best U.S. figure skater finished SEVENTH in the women's competition blaming the judges for not noticing how beautiful and flawless her routine was, ignoring that her routine lacked any real degree of difficulty.
The Winter Olympics is more and more proving itself a flawed concept for a country whose favorite sport is trying to kill each other. I'm talking football but let's face it MOST of our favorite sports involve trying to kill each other.
We're far too barbaric for the winter games. We like too much blood mixed with our performances. And major lacerations with skates just don't happen often enough to maintain our level of interest.
