2 American Pairs After Ice Dance Medals
The ice dance competition will enter the spotlight in the United States after the conclusion of the Super Bowl.
Chock and Bates come into the free dance portion of the competition in third place. Hubbell and Donohue are three points behind in fourth.
The free dance competition begins at 8:15 p.m. ET, but the two American pairs will not skate until the 11 p.m. ET window.
Chock and Bates are scheduled to skate at 11:03 p.m. ET, while Hubbell and Donohue will be directly after them at 11:11 p.m. ET.
The American pairs are likely fighting for one medal unless one of the two leading pairs messes up.
Four-time world champions Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron are in front after the short program. The French pair landed the only score over 90 in the opening round.
Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov of the Russian Olympic Committee won the 2021 World Championships. They sit in second place, two points back of the French leaders.
Chock and Bates recorded a higher score than the second-place duo in the ice dance free skate portion of the team event in Beijing. Hubbell and Donohue also beat out the ROC duo in the short program, so it is possible for the Americans to jump the second-place pair, but it will take an almost perfect skate.
One medal, whether it be silver or bronze, seems likely for the Americans, while a two-medal haul is not out of the question.
Americans Could Land 2 Medals in Women's Monobob
The United States should take home at least one medal in the inaugural women's monobob competition.
Humphries was the only athlete to put down runs under one minute and five seconds during the first two runs of the competition. Humphries cemented herself as the favorite by creating an advantage of 1.04 seconds over Christine de Bruin of Canada.
The U.S. representative still needs two solid runs to secure the gold medal, but as long as no one goes under the 1:05 mark, she should be in a great position.
Elana Meyers Taylor sits in fourth place going into the final two runs. She is 10 hundredths of a second behind Germany's Laura Nolte. Meyers Taylor's second run was 28 hundredths of a second better than Nolte's, so that is a good sign for her going into the last two runs.
If Humphries or Meyers Taylor wins the inaugural female monobob, they would become the first non-German to win a sliding sports event in Beijing. Germany won all four luge golds and both skeleton competitions.
