And there may well be another couple of golds to come today (cycling, hurdles, individual jumping etc.) as well!

And the French aren't doing too badly. It's more Australia, Japan and Russia who have the biggest disappointments. They just sound surprised, despite the fact the same thing happened at Beijing, and that we have the home advantage which gives us a chance...

The same thing happened in Vancouver in 2010. Canada got 14 gold medals which was our best performance ever.

If I remember correctly, they'd never got a gold medal in a winer games before, no? It just goes to show how much the home advantage helps.

You don't remember correctly Canada had plenty of gold medals before Vancouver 2010 but never that many. In fact, 14 golds is the record for most Gold medals by a country in the Winter Olympics.
