USA1 time is 54.89 in the first run. Johnny coming up in about 15 minutes.

[NT03]

Just .7 seconds separate 1st from 3rd place

Russia , Germany , USA1

[UNTflyer]

USA2 is up next

[NT03]

Ran a 55.61, not good

[UNTflyer]

55.61 - 13th place

[NT03]

So do you have to qualify for each run ? Or does each team get 4 runs ?

[Green P1]

Cunningham sucks

everyone gets 3 runs at least. Only the top 20 get a fourth run. Even though this run really did not go well, top 20 is not gonna be a problem.

Each team will get four runs.

Thanks

Currently 14th out of 19 teams that have run

[UNTflyer]

I thought they ran all four. It's fine though, according to this article the leader after three runs wins 100% of the time:

Second run of the day starting in 20 minutes

USA2 moves to the top in run #2. Don't get too excited, the leaders have not yet had their 2nd run.

So they combine the times ?

[outoftown]

So they combine the times ?

Yes they do. Was an ok run by USA 2 this time, nothing more. It will not move mountains, but they do move up 2 or 3 spots.

[UNTflyer]

[UNTflyer]

USA2 finishes the day in 11th place. That will be a very, very tough gap to close tomorrow.

USA1 sits in 4th place.

[CMJ]

Hopefully USA1 can medal. About the best USA2 can hope for is 7th or 8th at this point. A top ten result in the Olympics on the B-team is fantastic though!

[Rudy]

Not a bad day. Even if they don't medal this time, I would expect JQ to have at least one more Olympics run.

He just needs to get on the top sled in the future.

[Rudy]

Not gonna lie, I'd love to be a two man sled driver with him as my brake man. Of course, me getting into the sled with my height could be a problem. I don't think they allow stepstools on the side.

[CMJ]

If he didn't have motion sickness, I'd think maybe he should try to move up and be a driver himself. Of course, since he does have that condition, that's not an option.
