Women's singles continues tonight with Runs 3 and 4, and will award a 16.7 point gold medal.
Nordique Combined manager Brian Schwartz is counting on at least two medals from his German lugers. German Tatjana Huefner currently leads the competition by .05 seconds.
Other Germans with a shot at a medal are Natalie Geisenberger, who is currently third, and Anke Wischnewski, within shouting distance of a medal at fifth.Austria's Nina Reithmayer (Ellis Kunka/Cornballers) ranks second, with a shot at gold and a medal almost definite. Russians Tatiana Ivanova and Alexandra (Adam Claus/Ice Lugers) rank fourth and sixth with the rest of the lugers pretty much out of the running for a medal.
2:52 PM PST - Speed Skating
The women's 500 meter speed skate is the sport's shortest event at just 1.2 times around the track. Germany's Jenny Wolf (John Binz/Da Nang Dynamos, the world record holder, is the heavy favorite and my pick for gold.
Wang Beixing is my pick to win a silver for China and more importantly Joy Sadaly's Olympic Ring Worm Wood Stock Market District Attorney team. Finally, Lee Sang-Wa should win bronze for South Korea (Brittany B./Buck-Toothed Rabbit Bitches). With only one South Korean in contention, Sang-Wa should be safe once he gets within 25 yards of the finish line.Though the top three are in a tier above the rest, the Netherlands' Annette Gerritsen and Marianne Timmer (Ellis Kunka/Cornballers) have an outside shot at medals.
4:15 PM PST - Men's Figure Skating
I will not even purport to preview men's figure skating.
