So with the Olympics starting in a couple weeks, let's have a little competition! Pick a competitor or team in each medal event. If they win gold you get 5 points, silver 3, and bronze 1. If people are tied, the tie will be broken by number of golds, then number of silvers. Picks will be due before the start of each competition, going by this schedule:
http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-schedule-results/Note that picks are due by the start of preliminary rounds for each event, and not the final, so for the first medal in Ski Jumping, Normal Hill, picks will be due by 10AM Pacific on Feb. 12, picks for the hockey tournament are required before the start of the first game, etc. All times used by me in this thread will be Pacific. For reference, Noon Pacific is 3PM on the east coast of the US, 8PM in London, and 7AM the next day in Sydney.
