So if the USA has no one in, we have someone to cheer for. Does anyone else do this?

Yep! When the US is not playing, I cheer for Poland, Italy, Lithuania, Britain, Australia, and Denmark. There's a couple more I know I am forgetting.

Canada is my "backup America" during the Olympics; if there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that the U.S. will medal in an event I root for the Canadian team. I think many Americans do this, which is why there was a big stink over the SLC pairs competition. S&P were the "backup Americans."

I always root for Japan. Sometimes Britain, I used to support Canada but I do not care for them anymore.
