The Nuclear Winter Olympics, Day 2: The America Firsters Aren't Going To Like This...

• Within the space of about 60 seconds, two speedskating events ended, and the Netherlands won 4 of the 6 medals contested, including a sweep of the women's 3000m long-track event.
• In something which will not please the "America First: crowd:  The United States was not one of the eight countries which won medals in Day 1.  Germany tops the Olympic table for having won two gold medals in Day 1, but the Netherlands and Norway won four medals apiece to top the total.  Korea and Sweden also took gold on the day, with the Czech Republic, Finland, and an Olympic Athlete from Russia getting on the podium.
• There was significant controversy regarding the flag-bearer for the United States, and when Shani Davis didn't eventually win the coin toss to bear the flag for the Opening Ceremony to Erin Hamlin, Davis protected his Twitter account and chose not to attend at all.  Given the country's current environment, I would not be surprised that Davis being Black was not a factor, given Vladdie Lite in the stands.
• Korea's unified women's hockey team made headlines late last night with their debut in the women's competition.  Politicians from both Koreas stood together to cheer them on.  Unfortunately, they lost.
