A daily-ish update to all of the action at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. This is unaffiliated with the IOC, USOC, or any other official entity. Don't sue me, bro.
It finally over, but not before some final excitment! Team USA wins a surprise gold in curling, and Germany loses a hockey heart-breaker to OAR. Ledecka completes a historic double gold, and a momentary loss of concentration cost an Austrian skier a silver medal. I also talk about the Closing Ceremonies, why Johnny, Tara, and Terry are good choices as hosts, and how I think the IOC missed an opportunity to promote another upcoming event.

It was a rough day for our neighbors up north, who, despite winning a gold medal in ski cross, suffered losses in both men's hockey and curling. I talk about the free skate / conclusion of the ladies' figure skating competition. Plus, I scope out the major events coming up, including Team USA's Gold Medal Game in curling (10:15pm Pacific) and two new events I barely understand (speed skating mass start, alpine skiing team event).

Team USA's good times continue, much to the chagrin of Team Canada. We take the gold in women's ice hockey over the 4-time defending champions in an incredible shootout, and our men's curling team upsets the three-time defending gold medalists from up north, earning their own shot at gold. The USA also picks up a gold and three silvers in ski and snowboard action, including a silver for Mikaela Shiffrin in alpine combined. I talk about all of this, as well as the event coming up today, including the ladies' figure skating free skate and the men's hockey semifinals.

What a day!! USA women bring home a haul of medals with some gutsy, gutsy performances. History is made in cross-country skiing, AND the USA men's curling team qualifies for the medal rounds. In this episode, I cannot contain myself...and don't think I should. More action coming up today with the women's Alpine Combined, the women's hockey gold medal match, and the men's curling semifinals.

After a day off for my birthday, I return with lots of results and quite a few opinions. I recap the Ice Dance competition, cover the extra gold medal in 2-man bobsled/bobsleigh, and do a deep dive on the current state of curling for Team USA and Team Canada. I also look ahead to the ladies' figure skating competition, the women's downhill, and the cross country team sprint (praying for Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall) Troy Does The Games is not affiliated with the IOC, USOC, or any other official entity.
