Analysis: Manager Zach Chromiak was quite excited about this roster, but I just don't see it. Norway Cross Country and German Bobsleigh are the top teams in their sports. USA Speed Skating is arguably the top speed skating squad as well. However, I don't understand many of Mr. Chromiak's other picks. Was he taking the best Winter Olympic teams, or the world's top economies? Did he think the skiing is at Val D'Isere?

I would rank this squad as the worst I've profiled so far. Of course, that's why they play the Games.

  1. Analysis like this makes me wonder if you're even paying attention. I would say my team is the least dazzling but has the best chance to actually medal with picks 1-14, instead of putting all my eggs in one basket i went with competitors. Take ski-jump. If it wasn't for a bullshit final jump performance by Uhrmann, I'd have a silver.

  2. Time will tell. I do like your Great Britain curling pick, great value at #9.
