The US wins in contrived events.

Snowboarding?

They will not win in manly winter sports such as downhill skiing, the
biathalon, cross country skiing, ice hockey or ski jumping.

Venue ticket sales:

Snowboarding: sold out and SRO--most popular event at the Games.

See the interview with the American gold medal winners?

"Like wow man! It was awesome! Totally tubular! Dude!"




Downhill: SRO, and lots of room along the course that the organizers had
hoped would be filled. And it's one of the best downhill courses in the
world.

Goes to show how few manly men are left.


Biathalon: "Whazzat" (average Olympics spectator query)

Every NRA member knows what the biathalon is!


X-C racing: Most of the course looks like a wilderness, devoid of people
or other signs of life


And the problem is...?

Hockey: Men's: less than 50% ticket sales, women's: about 85% ticket
sales. finals sold out for women's, but still about 60% for men's

Proves there are more manly women than manly men. Who wouldn't want to see
women fight?


Ski jumping: sold out. Okay, everyone finds that fascinating, if
maniacal.


Manly, yes, but they're all waiting for disaster!
