Commentary from Mike Lyons following the events:

Here is a quick comparison of the U.S. men's results at JWOC 2010 vs 2009. These numbers are the percent behind the average of the top 3 finishers in each race (/ leg in relays) - like the normalization done for US rankings and Team Trial scoring. I only included the top 5 US competitors (of 6) in the average each year to avoid dealing with any outliers (e.g. Nate's MSP in 2009 Long).

Sprint:
2009 - 27% behind; 2010 - 28% (close)

Long:
2009 - 84%; 2010 - 46% (WOW!)

Middle Qual:
2009 - 37%; 2010 - 40% (close)

Middle Final (1 in B Final each year, so the averages are all 5 in the C final):
2009 - 36%; 2010 - 14% (Outstanding!!!)

Relay:
2009 - 46%; 2010 - 35% (Very nice!)

This seems to be a very significant improvement. And the good news is that 4 of the guys have at least two more years of eligibility! It was a real team effort. Each of the 5 races had a different "top guy"!

I think similar improvement could be shown for the ladies, but it's tough to determine a good methodology when there were 5 last year, but only 3 this year.

Oh, and hats off to the Canadians for their performances! I'm looking forward to seeing NA Juniors in Poland in 2011!
