Looks like Norway is holding its own!

^Norway have two potential golds -- biathlon 4x7,5km relay race and skiing mass-start 50km -- from the top-4 only Russia might have a chance to take that gold from them, and that's it for Norway. Canada not gonna make it to the top regardless even with the gold in hockey. Not sure about the US as I'm absolutely not aware of their standings in slalom and bobsleigh, but for Russia it's race for the gold in bobsleigh. So I'd say the most propable winner of this year Olympics is Norway, then Russia, then US and least chances of all to take 1st spot has Canada -- not that it's of great importance as the difference in medal table is going to be small anyway.



4x7,5km relay race gold goes to Russia. Take that, Norway. I need to take my validol :D

That's probably the first gold with 8 misses in relay race, lol. But Shipulin was great on the last leg.

 



And that is why biathlon is one of the most exciting things in the Olympics

To rub more salt into your wounds, another Viktor, formerly Vic Wild, just has won his second gold on this Olympics. -2 gold from US team, +2 gold to Russia :P

//Hey, one more gold for Norway, they still got smth up their sleeve.

Yeah, we've been lagging in the Golds... but at least we got those Bronze medals!

I like this medal table, shall we stay it that way, ok? One more day to go.



So disappointed with the biathlon relay... how could Emil miss four times on last shooting!?
Anyways, get the 50km cross-country gold tomorrow and get on top once more!

Bjørndalen is still the undisputed legend of winter olympics!

Maybe you will, maybe you won't ;)

Anyway we've still got Olympic champion Zubkov in bobsleigh to take that 1st place from you, that's not a given but I have my hopes for that gold.

@those boycotting, bit hypocritical ....
dont hear you complaining about brazil or the african wars
gay rights> poor people and starving, bravo!

Maybe because the current Olympics aren't in Africa or Brazil.


So I assume you havent watched any sport event happening anywhere other than in a 1st world country?

 

Also, who made your Nike shoes?
