Looks like C/Z and R/G will duke it out for gold, with bronze likely going to the Italians. But 4th-6th place should be pretty fluid among the two Canadian teams and the 2nd US team.

[Joesitz]

But the difference between lst and 6th place is less than 4 points. I still think it's anyone's chance to win.

[chuckm]

Based on previous performances, I don't think it's a wide-open race for gold. 2 points is a huge lead in the CD. Both R/G and C/Z made it to the JGPF last season, and I expect their OD scores to push them even farther ahead of the pack.

As I thought, C/Z and R/G have pulled away from therest of the field. R/G must have fallen in the OD, giving C/Z a bigger lead.

[Joesitz]

You're right , Chukm about the top two. They should have no problem for gold and silver in whatever order. The next three, through could be bronze.

[chuckm]

I think the bronze will go to either the Italians or the Canadians. Cannuscio / Lorello are 3 points behind H/G, and that may be too much of a gap to bridge.
