Isn't this just still the team comp? I don't think the American's performance actually mattered at all except for doing well enough to keep us in front of the Italians.

I know. I was just saying I can't imagine anyone of this current group topping that, regardless of its ultimate contribution to team placement, because I am biased.

That poo poo actually does work for injuries but I dunno about competitions. It's like wearing Breathe Right strips: in theory it helps, but in practice, ehn who knows.

I don't understand this sport so I feel like a complete dumb ape watching this with my only opinions being "this is pretty and cool" and "oh dear, a fall."
