Team USA has seen better days.

Team USA is trying to win a Gold Medal in the bobsled competition at the Winter Olympics. Things got off to a rough start last month.

At the 2026 World Cup event in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Team USA driver Kris Horn found himself alone. He was forced to navigate the track alone without his teammates. His three teammates failed to load into the four-man sled.

Social Media Reacts To Team USA Athletes Falling During Bobsled Competition

Ryan Rager, Hunter Powell, and Caleb Furnell stumbled during the push start as they fell to the ice. Horn is the team’s driver and is expected to be the first one in the Bobsled. Not having his teammates on board led to trouble navigating the course.

He reached a speed of 75 mph during the run that lasted just over a minute, according to the Associated Press. “We are fortunate it wasn’t worse,” USA Bobsled head coach Chris Fogt said to the AP.

Here is how social media reacted:

“No better way to describe that Country at the moment! Classic!” one person said.

“I think this is a good metaphor for what the USA is now,” a second person wrote.

“Welp. Train all year, just for that,” a third person added.

“I guess they didn’t feel the rhythm, didn’t feel the rhyme, didn’t get on up. They didn’t realize it’s bobsled time,” one final person commented.

During an Olympics that has already been marked by tragedy, whether skiers dying or Lindsey Vonn suffering an accident, it is incredible that everybody walked away from this.

This year, the U.S. sent 14 athletes to compete in Bobsled at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan-Cortina, Italy. The 2026 U.S. Olympic men’s bobsled team for the Milan Cortina Games consists of 8 athletes. They are Frank Del Duca, Kris Horn, Caleb Furnell, Boone Niederhofer, Hunter Powell, Bryan Sosoo, Carsten Vissering, and Josh Williamson.

Only Ryan Rager did not make it with his other teammates. The guys who did will compete in the two-man and four-man events at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
