I don't know. But if the US does win a medal in XC Skiing or Biathalon odds are it'll be somebody from Alaska!

Went to school on the NY/Canadian border and got hooked on curling watching CBC. If I was curling, I'd be the #2 to throw takeout weight for my 2 stones. Finesse is not my forte.
That was one heck of a draw!

But I will watch, eh? Every free moment I get. I've been a Team Koe fan for years and hope he represents Canada. He's a wiz with the in-off shot - that's his extra bullet every time.
Always fun to watch as long as there's poutine involved. Anywho - when I compare the U.S. Olympic trials of the past weekend to, say, the Canadian Open (same weekend), I'm seeing shot after shot made for the latter, and missed shots during U.S. Trials. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I fear for our representation at Sochi. Schuster demolished Fenson, but I'm not fond of his demeanor and he doesn't instill confidence.

Do you think they'd really do anything? All of the Miracle on Ice team - players and coaches - have always been defferential towards the CCCP team, almost all stating that Team USA would lose 99 of 100 games played.

Given that he's not Russian orthodox, I doubt he'd be very welcome. But, he'd be a good person to be in any delegation, as he's more straight talking than most anyone out there. Of course the media would butcher everything he says, as they are now.
So when does Phil Robertson get added to the Russian delegation?
(Not a political position, but a cheap attempt at humor.)

I generally don't think of the media as being very capitalist, but you're right that they deserve a lot of blame. Anything to try to whip up reader angst, regardless of how inaccurate or biased their reporting is.
