Don't think the curling has happened yet SIX. The medals Canada got were for skiing and speed skating.

Canada's women hockey team also beat Finland and Sweden as well. And by huge margins. Finland was 1 and Canada 11. Sweden it was 1 and Canada 12.

Last time the Canadian women's hockey team had a bunch of players attending University of Wisconsin. Is it the same this time?

Yeah. I don't think it was expected to be much of a challenge. I don't think the Chinese do much curling. That's kind of a Northern US and Canadian sport.

I'm hoping I can find footage of the matches and sit down with them. I don't know why I like curling so much, but I do enjoy watching it every 4 years.

Nothing wrong with enjoying curling. Had a friend in elementary school whose folks used to curl. We were at a curling rink for some reason and I asked him to explain it to me but I couldn't understand it back then. Might be able to now.

Yeah, sports like that the Chinese don't excel at.

Yeah. I've never actually played curlng before. First time I'd ever heard of it was when I caught part of a Leslie Neailson movie where he was the coach of a curling team maybe 20 years ago. Then in the mid-2000's I caught a few matches and couldn't stop watching it.

Congrats on the hockey win. Is Russia bad this year or is Canada just that good?

I've never curled either. Outside of being in a rink once when a game was going on, I've only seen it on tv when the sports for the news comes on.

I have no idea SIX. The European teams for the women's side don't seem to be there this time around. I mean Canada just wiped the ice with Finland, Sweden and now Russia. Have to see what happens when me meet the States on the ice.

The US is Canada's other big rival in hockey besides Russia.

I should pay more attention to the Olympics. Ever since I cut the cable back in the mid-to-late 2000's I really haven't paid it much mind since there's no easy way to watch them outside of short clips on YouTube.

Well, I only count the golds, and everything else is a tie-breaker. (Silver count tie-breaks gold, bronze count tie-breaks silver).

Canada is in 10th place right now, and the US without any golds is sitting at a pathetic 15th place.

Hopefully the US doesn't embarrass themselves. I haven't been hearing any activism BS this time around, so I don't think it's that. My hope is that they didn't disallow these athletes to compete and train during the prime of their lives because of Covid and they're just no good anymore. You know China and Russia weren't doing that to their athletes.

Speaking of Speed Skating, Biathelete Joanne Reid is daughter of Olympian Speed Skater Beth Heiden, which I didn't know.

How about that Olympic Level Chinese Cheating in the women's Speed Skating, knocking out Canada players. First I heard Genocide Games, Then Child Labor Games, maybe now Cheating Games. Who really conjured that China would comprehend the concept of Sportsmanship at the cost of effective cheating?

Well I have heard that the living and eating conditions are terrible for the teams.

I haven't heard the US athletes complaining about that because I think it was expected and they also brought a lot of their own food with them just in case.

I think Norway or Sweden have been pretty vocal on Twitter about it though.

It doesn't seem to be stopping them though. Sweden is in 1st place with 4 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze. Norway is in 5th place with 3 golds, 1 silver and 4 bronzes.

US drops to an even more pathetic than yesterday 17th place with 0 golds, 4 silvers and 1 bronze.

Canada is in 11th place with 1 gold, 1 silver, 4 bronze.

If you go by sheer medal count, this changes to

Norway - 2nd place (8 medals)
Sweden - 4th place (6 medals - Tied with Canada)
Canada - 4th place (6 medals - Tied with Sweden)
USA - 5th place (5 medals - Tied with China, Slovenia, France, Germany)

Tracking places gets messy with just a straight up medal count. Not only that, but it bumps Russia up from 7th place to 1st place at 10 medals.

Honestly, I wasn't even aware that women played hockey until this Olympics, but I've never really been a fan of the winter Olympics anyhow.

Just looked and they've been doing it since 1998. That makes sense. I paid a lot more attention when I was a kid and that was the year after I graduated high school.

Congrats on the win Brenda.

JONGSSTRAW

If there's one good thing about being 68 and having to pee every five minutes, it's that I woke up last night at 12:15 am, just in time to watch Nathan Chen win the Gold for America in ice skating. He was amazing, doing 7 or 8 quads and not falling. The Japanese skater Hanyu who had won 2 Olympic Golds in a row did nothing but fall down. Kinda sad to see. And I saw the women's snowboarding half-pipe where American Chloe Kim won her 2nd Gold medal. Thanks to the man above for enlarged prostates!

Perhaps you are using a Chinese or Libtard numbering system. But I will now edit this list with Real World, commonplace numbering:

PLACE BY SHEER MEDAL COUNT:
1. Austria 13
2. Norway 12 (Tied with Canada)
2. Canada 12 (Tied with Norway)
4. Russia 11
5. USA 10

9. Japan 7 (Tied with Sweden)
11. China 6 (Tied with France)
11. France 6 (Tied with China)
13. Slovenia 5
14. Switzerland 4

Anyway:

Kinda curious how whenever a Chinese competitor is about to win Medal, all of the Olympians better than them are suddenly forced to take a covid test, and then the results are negative for covid, so then they are arrested and hauled off to concentration camp prison, and are starved for weeks, in order to make way for the rightful China Medalist.
When that fails, the highest level athletes are suddenly and mysteriously disqualified for wearing the exact same uniform as all of the prior heets.

I'm sure it is all fair and Sportsmanship.

In the first Winter Olympics, 1924, Norway was #1 with the most medals. In this Olympics, Norway has already won the most medals it has ever won, if you don't count the 2018 Olympics, where Norway was once again #1. This week Norway will possibly set a new world record for number of medals.

I heard somebody of note in Norway said that their goal this year is 32 medals, and they then said "three, two" to emphaisize that. Sounds pretty confident.

29 so far with 14 gold medals. One medal per day gets them there.

It's nice seeing China and Russia take such a beating. At least the US seems to have come back a bit from the initial few sad days in the meantime.

No matter what happens now at least the US and Canada get to walk away with at least 20 medals.

A couple of the ladies I play mah jong with were talking about the game at lunch. Sounds like it was a good one.
