Will Sochi Olympics be a disaster?

[BenedictGomez]

I'll admit that I don't follow ski racing or the Olympics all that closely, but is this really true? Is it even close to true? I thought I remembered 2010 was a great medal year for USA. I feel like Bode (x3?), Vonn, Mancuso, others(?) all medaled. No? Plus Bode, Ligety, Picabo from other recent years? Is there a technicality that I'm missing?

Might as well throw Tommy Moe in there too, that was 20 years ago. The last time USA didnt medal in any alpine event was 1988 in Calgary (which was actually Lake Louise).

The alpine skiing in 1988 was at Mt. Nakiska.
