If our Northeast Athletes perform in Vancouver upto their potential, you could easily see them winning 6+ medals with some real gold potential from Bode(he's been skiing pretty well the last few weeks), Kelly Clark/Hannah Teter and Lindsey Jacobellis :flag:

 

[UVSHTSTRM]

Also don't forget Ski Jumping, Nick Alexander of Lebanon, NH will be on the US team. Not sure he stands much of a chance as like x-country, ski jumping is dominated by the euro's and asian countries.
