Here is a updated medal table.

Note that Norway has not performed as well as they had expected or wanted in the cross-country skiing. But despite this they have a whole bunch of medals in various events. Including several in cross-country skiing. They are a true inspiration to all winter sport nations. [&o]

Netherlands rule the speed skating events. Well done. [sm=happy0065.gif]

Switzerland has impressive performance during these games. Cheers! [sm=00000436.gif]

Thank you thank you. Not too long ago the scandinavian countries were our most feared opponents, but not this time. I was also suprised to see Shani Davis perform not his best, that guy is very well known and liked here.



We did not even have anyone starting the 10.000m. It is a disgrace imo :(
2 more golds today though, so the olympics are coming out ok after all.

I am surprised that you are not considering this the best Olympic Games ever by Norway. I suppose the demands are high in Norway that the cross-country skiing take even more medals. But looking at all events I think that Norway rule these games.

Many in Sweden consider this our best Winter Olympics ever although we have had games where we have taken more gold medals. If we should manage to beat Canada in the hockey then it is no longer any doubt about it. But with three Canadian referees in the final I have my doubts.

Here is the updated medal table.

Nah, as you said, the men's crosscountry was subpar, and not even close to any medals in skating.
In terms of number of medals in total it is ok, but not great.
And yes, I suppose demands are rather high here in Norway.

It will be a good game! Have to say I will be going for Sweden here and it's my wife's heritage.

Canada just won the men's hockey gold to match the women's gold.
Great job.

Just waiting for chicken boy to step in say the USA hockey team lost to Canada and Finland because they have two Iowans starting on their team.

They played well against Canada but looked awful against Finland.
