Although the medal was only worth 2.1 points, they now lead by 62.6 points. Cornballers missed out on a 6.3 point men's curling medal earlier today as the Sweden men lost the bronze medal game.
Second place Nordique Combined, the only other team in contention, can take a maximum of 64.6 points Sunday. So Cornballers will clinch the Fantasy Winter Olympics if they lead by more than that amount at the end of the day today. A Finland win in tonight's bronze medal hockey game would be enough.
Nordique Combined's best chance at any more points today appears to be the Swiss four-man bobsled team, which is currently in sixth. They missed a big opportunity when Swedish skier Charlotte Kalla failed to medal in the 30k mass start.
Overall this thing is 99% clinched for Cornballers. Of course it would be 100% clinched if not for Sven Kramer's famous loss in the 10,000.
