Day 1

Day one is over and the USA has three medals, one gold and two silvers. Brittany and Sara combined to break the world record in the 300m 3 times while taking 1,2 in the final (brittany then sara). Bri finished second place by a quarter of a wheel in the 15k elim.
Hank finished 7th place in the 15k elim and jake finished 10th. Sophie also got 12th in the same race bri placed in.
Josh Wood most likely would have ended up medaling in the 10k pts elim but someone fell down in front of him and he ended up going down too. At the time of the fall he was tied for second place in points. He got up and tried to catch up because 10 people finish the race and everyone else gets eliminated, but unfortunately he ended up as the last person to be eliminated.
Kevin and Dane both finished 13th in the 300m being the first persons to not qualify for the final (top 12 qualify). Mariah and I both finished 5th place, Joey finished 7th, and Erin Jackson finished 10th.
