will usa make it back to #1 spot?</p>
<p>it’s turin.</p>
<p>and no, the US won’t make it back.</p>
<p>hmm…well a lot of us athletes who are “favourites” are kinda choking…ie bode miller, women’s hockey etc…however that happens all the time in the olympics, so that’s to be expected for all countries. good luck!!! </p>
<p>(btw, not to be rude, but was the US ever in 1st place? just asking b/c you used the word “back” to first place…</p>
<p>Once, near the beginning on 12 February. We led the gold medal chase until yesterday, when Germany nailed three to our zero, making it a 9-7 lead in favor of Germany.</p>
<p>nice! well good luck!</p>
