Down to the wire

Halfpoint and PH2B should get near a tv at 3:30pm Saturday, as the pool could come down to the result of the women's speed skating team pursuit semifinals (that's right, I said semifinals. I'm not kidding). Poland faces Japan, Halfpoint rooting for Poland and PH2B for Japan. Halfpoint is ahead by 4 points, but PH2B may get 2 from Slovakia bronze in men's hockey Saturday night and a speed skating semifinal win would be worth a minimum of 2, maximum 5 point spread. But that's not all going on tomorrow as Poland may also have a chance in women's 30k cross country.

The bottom line is that nothing is decided, other than Bruno was slammed into third for the moment thanks to the Canada choke in both the 10th AND 11th end in the gold medal game of women's curling. It's moments like that when I'm glad I'm in 17th place and don't have to sweat it out into extra ends of curling only to come up short.

Brokeback Alex has pulled into sole possession of last, by the way.

between Kowalczyk's final 50 m kick and Anni Friesinger's slide across the ice in the speed skating semis, PH2B's day got ruined in a hurry.
