Mullusken of little faith. 30k too far for Bente Skari?

Still even if there are no more medals, all I can say is "Go team Norway!!!" What a performance!

"We're lovin' it like that!"

 

Lusk, do I see it right?

Norway has about 4,500,000 citizens according to you.

Impossible.

[EDIT]
Sorry, I've just checked the net... It is true?!?! Who would think that...

Forgot the 30km . I'll update the post if we win something there .

Of course it is true, Extremist. That's the amazing part . I don't get top grades in math for nothing .

Edit:

No medals in the 30km . Only 4th and 5th place...

Well, and the winning country is... Deutschland!

I'm glad the US-Americans didn't make it to the top; I just couldn't stand TV news full of babbling arrogant American Pseudo-heroes.

 

(for the comment above)

Congrats to Canada for getting the Gold in Hockey...Twice!

(for the comment below me as well)

Yeah congratulations! They kicked the US-American's asses!

 

Wow! What a Game!!

I'm watching at home, and all I can hear are horns and cheers on the street outside!!

50 Years Later

And kudos the US team - they had a great run.

 

Woo hooo Canada the world champions of hockey all around.

/me does the happy happy dance

 

Great Britain rock!

1 Gold - Curling
0 Silver
2 Bronze - Skeleton & Alpine Skiing

I blame it on our temperate climate.

 

LOL, good to have an excuse, eh?

 

U.S. did play a hell of a game. They also outplayed Canada all through the tourney, except the championship game.

Kudos to those Canadians winning it though. Amazing team defense at the end.

 

Did you know that the U.S. is only 3rd here in Europe? Because we measure the success by gold medals first and thus they are behind Norway - hehe.

 

Well Australia, whose skiing season lasts for all of about 2 weeks a year, won 2 gold medals. Yay!

 

Well seems like Germany wont be winning the Olympics any way. With all the cheating going on Norway will be getting a minimum of two more medals.


If the cheaters had gotten all of their medals taken away from them Norway would have had
13 Gold medals
5 Silver
7 Bronze

 

I just hate cheaters

Why isnt cricket an olympic sport? How many countries play Baseball at top level compared to how many play cricket? hmm... american bias somewhere...

 

Is there that any countries except England and India who plays cricket?

 

There are loads. New zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Australia, Zimbabwe, West Indies. Well, actually that's about it. By the way since there isn't a GB team (but separately england, wales, scotland, NI) Britain actually couldn't play at the Olympics (we can't play football for the same reason).
