**2026 Winter Olympics Thread**

Is this like Draftkings?

Or Skateboarder snuff?

I'm here for womens skeleton

There is an amazing story going on in the Olympics with Lindsey Vonn, US downhill skier. After being retired for four years, in large part due to needing reconstructive surgery on one knee, she has made a great comeback this year, being on the podium in 5 of the first 6 races at age 41. This is unheard of.

Last week she crashed and suffered a complete tear of her left ACL. So, she put on a knee brace and has completed a mandatory training run in the top five. Tomorrow she goes for the gold.

Maybe the 49ers need to see what she is drinking to be able to do this.

I watched part of f the game and wow our team is really good. They move the puck so well

I hate how difficult it is to find olympic hockey games stats, schedules, scores etc.

Anyways, Womens US team takes on Italy at 12PM today in quarterfinals. Should be a bloodbath and easy win.

Feb 16th will be women's semi-final

And Feb 19th would be the gold-games. 10AM for gold medal game which US womens team should face off with canada. Finland and Czech definitely capable of playing spoiler though

For Men's

US is in a bracket with Latvia (10), Denmark (8) and Germany (7). Their international rankings in parenthesis.

US plays Denmark tomorrow at 12PM.

Sunday, US plays Germany at 12PM

US has the easiest path to securing a top 3 seed, which means a bye in elimination round (top 4 teams get a bye).

Feb 18 would be the quarterfinal game.

So for US hockey, the schedule:

Friday, Feb 13, 12PM Womens US vs. Italy in elimination game
Saturday, Feb 14, 12PM Mens US vs Denmark
Sunday, Feb 15, 12PM Mens US vs Germany
Monday, Feb 16, Womens US vs ??? in semi-final
Wednesday, Feb 18, Mens US game in quarterfinals
Thursday, Feb 19, 10AM Womens US gold-medal game
Friday, Feb 20, Mens US game semi-final
