Well, the States are likely going to win the MOST medals - but that's because they just have MORE athletes competing.

Proportionately, Canada all the way. [:)]

UK and Canada, Canada Rocks, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

As much as I would like to see Canada win lots of gold, I doubt they will do much better than in the past, and am damn sure they will not live up to all the pre-games hype in the media...like our downhill skier who was supposed to be a shoo-in because he won a bunch of world cup races and Whistler was his "home-course", well he finished what...57....way to go!
And as to the size of the contingents...well Canada has the 2nd largest team (206 athletes) after the US (215), so if we are to win a lot more proportionally than the US we will have to win a lot more period.

lol it's because their chief competition in the winter olympics are countries like Canada, which won zero gold medals at home until this year

Nine athletes doesn't strike me as that big of a difference.  Just saying. 

I'm naturaly going to root for the U.S. but if we don't win a particular event, I'm always happy to see Canada win it.

People can see medal counts here: http://www.nbcolympics.com/

I think Britain should get a special gold medal for having the athlete - Zoe Gillings - with the cutest ass.




calamitysandra -> RE: Who do you think is bringing home the gold in the Olympics? (2/17/2010 8:30:06 AM)

Well, right now Germany is leading! [:D]




thishereboi -> RE: Who do you think is bringing home the gold in the Olympics? (2/17/2010 10:29:44 AM)

That's why I am cheering both the US and Canada. By my count they have 13 and Germany only has 9[:)]






calamitysandra -> RE: Who do you think is bringing home the gold in the Olympics? (2/17/2010 10:37:04 AM)

Thats sneaky!

But I don't think I could get away doing the same. Germany annexing other countries has that bad reputation. [;)]




stella41b -> RE: Who do you think is bringing home the gold in the Olympics? (2/17/2010 12:36:56 PM)

Britain of course, but I would also watch out for the Estonians.

It's about all we will win.....as we have no form for this. I mean...we don't really have a winter....just a bit of wind and rain here and there and so we have no experience of competing in these conditions and few competitive athletes.

In the proper olympics we were second per head - behing the Aussies - so there you are...a bunch of washed up/has been imperialists with nothing more than chips to offer this world....still up there with the best of 'em.

I love fish and chips and while you can get a great fish fry around here it's not quite the same thing as fish and chips. I have to go to Canada to get a really good fish and chips.

Concerning your athletes, I've been trying to think of some way to say "perk up, it's not that bad," but then I saw the current medal standings. Well, the great thing about sports is... there is always next time. [:)]

Now if you'll excuse me a moment, I wish to brag...

WOO-HOO!!! WAY TO GO AMERICAN SKI LADIES! WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP! [sm=banana.gif]

(But damn, that course looks dangerous. What is with all the crashes?)

How about that speed skater from Evanston, Illinois? How awesome was that?




slvemike4u -> RE: Who do you think is bringing home the gold in the Olympics? (2/17/2010 6:59:28 PM)

Lindsey Vonn...wins gold...on a day when the mountain was kicking everyone else's ass....some of those crashes were downright scary.

Yeah, I just saw that on the update. A WOO-HOO!, for him too. I don't get into the men's sports as much as the womens because I'm a total sexist pig (I don't want to look at men's butts in tight suits [:'(]).

Shaun White,gold already in the bag....says what the fuck and takes his second run anyway....and unviels what he calls his "big mac"....3 1/2 rotations while flipping twice....unfucking beleivable.
What an athlete....
