Perhaps American women have better things to do than play silly games. Did you ever think of that Brenda?

I hope you're good a math. There are 36 million Canadians that supply you with your team. There are 324 million Americans that supply us with our team.

Do the math and give Canada a handicap. It's only fair. Make sense?

Hey, if Team Canada comes home with more medals than you all. Welp, I'll be glad.

---

I think it would be amazing if you even came close to medaling the same or better than the U.S.. If you look at high schools with the best winning records, they are the biggest ones. Do you get where I am going with this The fact that you and even other smaller countries are leading in medals is incredible.

USA just picked up a 9th medal.

Did Canada catch up to 2nd place in Medal totals?
Are there enough Medals remaining for Canada to jump into first?

3 fresh Golds, good day.

Looks like USA caught up to 4th place with 19. Canada 3rd with 21, Germany 2nd with 24. Norway has 33.

Good for the USA.

No one is going to beat Norway this year. Canada still has a slim shot at 2nd, I think. But if not 3rd is still pretty respectable.

Do you understand anything you read, I'm serious? My posts regarding Canada were designed to be a complement.

Are you stupid?
The thread title has WINTER Olympics. Canada has far more WINTER than almost all of the contiguous United States. Vast swaths, possibly a majority of Americans don't even know what WINTER is.
I would generally be surprised if Canada did not have significant collection of Medals in any WINTER Olympics. Likewise Norway Sweden, Greenland, Iceland.
The US teen Gold winner from Torrance needed her dad to drive 10 hours round trip each weekend for her to have snow to practice with, at Mammoth. Many Canadians can practice in their backyard every day, some even every day of the year.

Miracle on Ice happened in Lake Placid with some Wisconsin Badger Hockey players on Team USA.
One of those was Mark Johnson. Who is the current Coach for Wisconsin Badger's Hockey.
Currently there are 9 Wisconsin Badger Women's Hockey players competing in the Winter Olympics. 5 on one team, 4 on another. Team USA and Team Canada are expected to be opponents in the final game for Gold. All 9 players could be in the same final game.

Sounds like USA played Canada for Olympic Gold vs Silver. And USA won. These 9 women must have been psyched to be on top of the world for that game.


I guess Canada jumped ahead of Germany for 2nd highest total of Medals.

Or is somebody else in Canada an even worse Sport?

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to sound like I was disagreeing with you. I was more commenting upon the hypocrisy of the ADHD Market in America.
In America the Network records the events but then plays them in Prime Time, and keeps using the term "Live" when the stage is the opposite side of the planet. I suspect the Network contracts prohibit news of the results, embargoed until the Network has seen fit to play the edited final cut. Many Americans seem to be willing to believe that Korea is the Time Zone near their home.
I expect your news was more accurate, and did not search for confirmation either way.
If you look at website nbcolympics I think they do not update the results until the network masquerade has been broadcast.


I must state that I am glad that the activities seem to have gone well. No spying and shower recordings like Russia, no health-jeopardy and rampant crime like Rio, and no terrorism.
How many years has it been since such International fellowship was successful?

Sounds like IOC may not allow participation in 2022.

This was S Korea.
2020 is Tokyo, and 2022 is Beijing, right?

Didn't win some Golds, like when NHL players were forbidden.
But won some Golds in events that we had never Medalled in before.

Haven't really seen a summary of this, just putting together different pieces.
