F**k yeah, we've won 50 km race!

Gold: Legkhov
Silver: Vylegzhanin
Bronze: Chernousov


That makes us unreachable in medal table.

 Meanwhile Zubkov 1st after 2nd heat in bobsleigh.

8 medals for my country (Slovenia), with population of 2m ! Fantastic result !

I knew the men would fuck it up, but second place overall, still not bad. Two more gold than Vancouver, 9 more gold than the mega-flop called Torino 2006

@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?

I don't watch any sports, I consider them disgustingly boring.


Then why did you post in this thread?

People seem to forget Norway have a population of only 5,1 million and nearly beat Russia (population: 143 million). In the end of the day we took 26 medals and overall second place. Now that shouldn't really be possible, but it obviously is:p

Congrats to Russia

I really really hope Canada beats Sweden

And the bobsleigh gold goes to 1st lieutenant Alexander Zubkob and Co.

 

Practically final medal table, one more gold will go either to Canada or Sweden.

Not to devalue achievements of Norway or Slovenia, but people will you ever forget total population argument? The same discussion I had with German guys during London Olympics. It's fallacy for the most part.

With that logic China should have beat us all combined, if you want to find a correlation between population and achievments -- look at team sizes. I'm not sure about Norway, but looking at US and Russia teams, I'd say smth under 200 athletes -- the team size you'd expect from one of the Winter Olympics leaders.
