The USA is now well over 48 hours without a medal -- and at least another 24 on the horizon, as Day 9 does not look to be particularly promising either.
With half the events over, the USA is on pace for a medal total of sixteen, it's lowest since Nagano.
With Vonn, Shiffrin (in one event), Jacobellis, Chen, and others falling well short, the "America First" crowd is going to call for the USOC to be answerable.
That and the Dr. Nassar stuff will have Trump ordering heads -- probably ALL OF THEM.
A complete flush of the USOC is probably going to be done shortly after these Games. And though it may be couched in Dr. Nassar, it's not going to get that far.
Under the SI medal count projections, a medal count of 16 would finish seventh, and probably lower because of the success of other countries.
The USA (8 current) could be outmedaled in total by the Olympic Athletes from Russia (8), the Netherlands (13), France(7), maybe Austria (9), Canada will (13), even Japan after the figure skating today (9)...
With no real hope of medaling tonight in more events, the USA, as of the time of writing, stands tied for seventh with the Olympic Athletes of Russia for the total of eight.
A lot of the people who have mocked this prediction already on Olympic discussions underestimate... People are now beginning to report and discover: This team, across the board, is not very good.
There is at least one high-profile big-money Olympic gold medalist who should be sent home and disqualified.
There is now a real case for the removal of the United States of America from the Olympic movement.
This is NOT going to stand -- not in "America First" of God-Emperor PussyGrabber I.
The USOC had best start preparing mass resignations, dated probably about the 26th of February.
