Analysis: All I can say about this first round pick is that there are no bonus points for a patriotic yet touching human interest story targeted at female viewers, even if the team manager is that female viewer. Russian wrestling is a great value at #24 overall, but I'm a bit concerned with the chemistry in the Olympic Village between the USA gymnasts and the Russian wrestlers. Likewise, the USA gymnasts should be concerned.
After a short-lived rebound in the middle rounds, the questionable picks continued - including the choice of a weightlifting team from a country that has no food, as well as a table tennis team from a country that has no tables. To have any chance at all, the Zebras will need some upsets in the team sports to claim the 50 point basketball and football gold medals.
