Well, actually the results turn out to be pretty good for us if compared with other Winter Olympics within last 20 years or so (few medals short of Lillehammer-94, have a chance to beat it in next two days). It just how Winter Olympics usually play out, no strong leader, tight race. But it could have been so much better... People joke, let biathlonist shoot at hockey players -- nobody will hit the target -- but everyone will have fun. |
These Winter Olympics are the first ones I even followed, I expected Russia to erase everyone being both the host and a wintery country, but to see a ~4m country like Norway do so well surprised the hell out of me. They have wonderful conditions for being that good, and I bet lots of desire to be so good, too... but still.
I can understand where the joke comes from
