Exciting ski jump this morning in Vancouver. Todd Lodwick and Johnny Spillane have put themselves in great shape to challenge for gold. Jason Lamy-Chappius is also close to the leaders and should stay in the lead pack.
Bill Demong and Hannu Manninen are 22nd and 24th, they will probably ski together to get to the top 10. Magnus Moan and Felix Gottwald took themselves out of the running with weak jumps and they sit 40th and 41st out of 45 skiers, more than 2 minutes back.
Brett Camerota jumped really well and is in 10th place. The Americans would love to see him duplicate that result in the team event next Tuesday. If he can do that, the Americans will be tough to beat for gold.
Janne Ryynaenen of Finland has a 34 second lead over Lodwick heading into the cross-country. However, he is not the kind of skier to run away and hide, he's just not that strong. I expect him to be caught by 5km.
The 10k starts at 4:45, I can't wait! I think that the podium will be Lodwick, Spillane and Lamy-Chappius. Pittin is my dark horse.
