Nordique Combined Needs A Miracle

Without going into too much detail on the results, since not everything has been shown on NBC, it is looking to all but the most ardent Nordique Combined fans that a Cornballers victory is imminent.

For Nordique Combined to win, they need Slovakia to win the bronze medal hockey game, Sweden to sweep all the medals in tomorrow's 50k Mass Start, and Canada to win the gold medal hockey game tomorrow. Otherwise Cornballers will win the competition.

I have the utmost admiration for the Swedish cross country skiers. If I were the best in the world at skiing 50 kilometers, I still don't think I would register to actually do it. However, I don't think they're going to sweep tomorrow's medals.
Apparently the difference in the Fantasy Winter Olympics is that while Cornballers manager Ellis Kunka made good picks throughout, Nordique Combined manager Brian Schwartz got a lot of points from a few of his top teams. That and cloud seeding.

We will continue to report on developments, including: the Slovakia score, and any conciliatory text messages.
