Many American players are still in medal contention with 4-4.5/6. Check out full details on the 28-player U.S. squad. October 25 is a rest day,so games will resume on 10/26 at 3:00 PM local time (3 AM on 10/26 for us.) Judging from accounts from the parents, the rest day will be much appreciated: there are many complaints about poor playing conditions and excessive heat (broken ACs) in the playing hall.
