yep. bobsled is our big chance to get that last medal to break Germany's 36-medal record. If USA #1 crashes out tomorrow in the 4-man bobsled then our other chances to break the winter olympic medal record would be Bode in the men's slalom, or the USA in the women's speed skating pursuit tomorrow.
Given how unpredictable the slalom is, our 2nd-best chance will probably be the pursuit, the USA women are in the semis so they will have 2 races and only need to win one of them to get some sort of medal. They were supposedly not expected to win a medal at all (ranked #9 in the world in the event), but they just took out the heavily-favored Canadians earlier today in the quarters, so the experts might not really know how good the USA women actually are.
We wont win anything in whats left of x-country, curling, or snowboarding.
