Believe it or not, but I always liked you.  BTW: I hope Austria will win a medal soon.

Cool. If I ever become a mod, I'll make you my official watch dog. Or advisor, if you prefer that title.

As for Austria at the Olympics, I have no idea about anything. All I know is that the chances for medals are usually greatly limited, simply because Austria is a small country and the funds for most sports are greatly limited. And, of course, winter sports are far better off when it comes to money.

I edited my post as it sounded a bisserl unehrlich. :-p

Agreed reg. AUT, but there were times you had world class summer athletes. Stefanie Graf or Thomas Muster come to mind. SUI on the other hand already won three medals in Rio - rowing, cycling, shooting - and have some good athletes in other sports as well, e.g. beach volleyball. Maybe AUT is a bit too focused on winter sports these days (where they always win plenty of medals anyway).
