Right now the US is in 5th place with 2 gold medals.

Canada is around 17th place with 2 bronze medals.

Hopefully this winter games won't be a wash out for Canada.

I thought this was going to be a Heavy Rock music thread or industrial car production or something

I dont know if I will watch much of these games For now it seems Norway is winning, I remember reading on Norway per population they have the highest medal counts by any nation while countries like India huge population have very little. India has been trying to win medals since the 1900s and with their Hindu caste system rank the lowest even below nations with much smaller populations such as Georgia a fractured nation which Russia bombed recently, India is below Kazakhstan and North Korea...the Hindu Nationalist country is behind Egypt and Thailand win more medals than India, Uzbekistan and North Korea have won Winter Olympic medals than India, I believe India has never won a medal in the Winter Olympics.

If you insist on being an azz Jaynes just don't come back to this thread. It is not for you to bring your garbage in to.

I am wondering though, how much politics may have hurt both the US and Canada in these medal standings, or if they're just showing so low because it's early and it were just events that they weren't very strong in. I would expect Canada to be significantly higher than 17th place, and 5th sounds pretty low for the US as well.

We might not actually be sending our best. They might not have gotten their chance because they didn't check off the right boxes. Plus, with Covid lockdowns, I'm sure that messed up the ability for whatever athletes we are sending there to train for probably a couple of years. I doubt even in the European countries that shut things down that they were actually preventing any of their Olympic hopefuls from training everyday, although I would believe it if I heard that wasn't the case in the US or Canada.

You got a second team to root for if things don't improve for North America, Brenda?

Just looked for the first time.

Canada's in 12 now, and you're beating China who's in 13th. I was surprised to see that Russia isn't even in the top 20, which is as much as Google's going to give me.

Norway is killing it. They are by far the leader of the pack right now. Total medal count for them is 11, which is tied with Italy and 4 more than both Japan and the US. But Norway has 6 golds, which is double 2nd, 3rd and 4th place with only 3. US, Japan and Italy only have 2 golds each. Canada, China and Russia have zero golds. It's possible from what I'm seeing that Russia hasn't even gotten a medal at all.

Were they banned from the Olympics again? I pay so little attention to them that it wouldn't surprise me that they were and I didn't know about it until now. It's a better explanation than Russia not even winning a single bronze by now.

Canada's gotta get a gold, Brenda!

I dont think the Russian flag exists in Sport, it is mostly banned world wide.

The USSR probably was cheating somewhat and probably was good at Drugs, Steroids, Doping etc
Sometimes normally super helathy athletes would just suddenly drop dead from some weird turbo cancer but the whole doping thing was controlled and mostly covered up by smarter doctors, biologists, scientists
I'm sure there were lots of athletes back in the days of the USSR who were honest but there were probably lots who were dishonest, the USA cheated too and so did many many other nations
the women from East German teams often looked like giant dudes on roids

Then the USSR falls in the 90s, in Russia they probably lost a lot of their cheating tech science

btw today there is an illegal invader jihadi rapist mohammedan 'Refugee Olympic Team' not kidding

Russians Bad?
it really started at the end of Bush junior and Obama, the Russians were accused of manipulating their urine samples
I remember a lot of the Russia tennis girls banned, cute but skinny looking blondie Maria Sharapova...I dont think they won anything the so-called doping blondie model girls but the witch hunt had begun

Sir-HE-Hulk Williams the younger sister of Venus who looks like a 'Hulk' was almost without doubt cheating but she was never caught red handed, its not just one player, the doping thing is all over Tennis but it has yet to be exposed
in 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea...they became a villain on the world stage, so now you have another ban war and politics, not just steroids

Why isnt Israel banned like Russia....they call themselves chosen people and are doing all that bombing like other regimes and dictatorships do...maybe its because people dont like jihadis, they turst Arabs the islamists the jihadis even less than Israel...seems as if Belarus is likewise banned because of its support for Russia

None of the USSR records now count as Russia, compared to modern Russia that was a separate Country / State / Union and modern Russia is banned anyways

The Games since the time of the Greeks are supposed to be 'beyond politics' but the are not every once in a while groups of countries start bickering and boycotting, the USA and Soviets had a No. boycotts
Montreal Canada had huge boycotts in the 70s, I think it was African countries that hated Canadians because some indirect link, some team Australia or New Zealand had toured South Africa...because of some vague connection to apartheid policies, it seems so stupid blaming Canada for what other people in South Africa were doing.

a few I think from Communist USSR states boycotted South Korea because Fidel Castro or someone told them they should jointly host the games with 'North Korea'

I believe a few Russians still competed but under a separate flag the Group Russia Sport Russian Olympic Committee Athletes flag...who are basically Russians but not allowed to fly the flag of Russia...because reasons
After the full scale invasion of Ukraine at the Transexual pervert Paris polluted river Summer Olympics I believe Russia and Belarus had zero flags, no group no collection of anything but some people were allowed compete but only as 'Individual Neutral Athletes' so their medal count just fades away into nothing even if they won gold

I dont see Russia's name on the Japan Tokyo Olympics either I think they were banned, the 2020 Summer Olympics were delayed a year until July 2021...a demand for vaccine passports and booster shots

they whole thing cost the Japanese huge money the most costly ever, with a total expenditure of over $20 billion. The Winter Olympic came after and United States went full fucking retard, destroyed its own athlete careers they were already taking a Knee for Floyd and other shit in 2022 and started a boycott of China's Winter Olympics because muslim jihadi islamics are 'special' or some retarded DEI SJW Covid Joe Biden Kamala Harris pro-islamic culture shit...with the USA's head not in the game at the China Winter Olympics I believe the USA got its ass kicked by both Germany and Norway in almost every event

USA beaten by Norway and Germans...but they got to Take-A-Knee for the Floyd rioters and make some dumb speech about lack of muzzie diversity in China

I don't know what is happening with politics being involved in the Olympics with any of our athletes. Meaning Canadian and American. We are certainly dropping the ball for sure.

I guess France.

Russia itself is banned from the Olympics because of Ukraine. Their athletes can compete but must call themselves "Individual Neutral Athletes" which means no mentioning of their home country at all. No flags, anthem. Nada. And so far they aren't on the board at all.

I know. Norway is just amazing this time around.

We have got to get a gold. Gotta bring home something outside of last.
