Well...it's safe to say that Canada is failing big time at these games. We were expected to get 4-5 medals yesterday and the grand total yesterday was 0.

I'm not surprised one bit, to be honest.

Not that its an easy goal, but i at least wish canada wins the gold medal in mens hockey.

although these olympics prove that either our athletes just are not podium contenders or home court wasnt not a big enough boost. either way i hope we at least finish with 14 or so medals....

Also doesn't help that some of our best medal contenders were injured prior to the games & had to miss the Olympics as a result (i.e. Vanderbeek, Osborne-Paradis, etc.).

Either way, I can't wait to catch the ski-cross this afternoon prior to the game tonight! I caught the single run qualifiers & the course is mental! It should produce some ridiculous moments once they start running 4 at a time later today.

I think anything less than gold will be a massive disappointment in hockey.

kinda sucks for canada

if they win a gold medal in hockey then big deal. its canada and they are "supposed to win". i mean its the only country in the world where hockey is the number 1 sport.

if they lose it will be a colossal disappointment because how can you lose in a sport other countries dont devote anywhere near as much / time effort to.

Joannie will be the one to watch to see how she skates after her mom just passing away

RIP Therese and I hope she stays strong. I expect her performance will cause many tears to flow in the audience.

for my sweet Kelly :P

they were eating up the similar Steve Aoki electro crap too in Van. Didn't go to deadhouse gig (longest lineups I've ever seen in my life for all the LiveCity gigs, whether it be deadmau5 or anyone else) but I regrettably went to the Aoki one.

The Steve Angello set was bang on, however.

I now hate Ovetchkin for what he did to Jagr

LMAO! I had to get a shot of my TV.... anyone notice the thong FAIL?

I hope that was the women's competition

I like Jagr but I like Ovie even more. He just stamped his arrival at this tournament

Going into the mens hockey tourney I picked USA to win and if they do what they've been doing all tournament then I can't see anyone beating them. They're way more physical and defensive minded. They remind me of the Red Wings teams from the last 10-15 years. Canada needs to score soon or its over.

too slow defensively, Kane was skating circles around them.

We'll see later in the tourney if lack of timely scoring is an issue *cough Mike Green cough*

It's funny that each time I see "Rank 1" during the olympics, I'm not thinking of sports.

Originally posted by jon jon so you don't consider the fact that their population is literally 10x bigger than ours a variable?

I think the projections for medals don't come from populations but they are based on how many athletes a country sends.

Top ten medal count and the amount of athletes they send in.

USA - 215 - 24 medals
Germany - 153 - 18 medals
Norway - 99 - 12 medals
Canada - 206 - 9 medals
Korea - 46 - 9 medals
Austria - 81 - 8 medals
Russia - 199 - 8 medals
France - 108 - 8 medals
Switzerland - 146 - 7 medals
Sweden - 106 - 6 medals


Obviously the more events you participate in the more chances you have of winning.

USA has an advantage over other countries because they have crap load of money. Their athletes do not have to work at rona or canadian tire just to pay for their equipment. There is just no comparing any country to the US. Possibly China will eventually concentrate in the Winter Games like they did the summer games and USA can get some competition.

I hear Russians are freaking out over their showing because they are hosting the games next and they are having a horrible olympics thus far. worse than Canada. They should be right up there for the medal count but they are not.

Based on the number of athletes Canada should be in the top 5 and they are. Norway is always good in winter and they seem to send athletes to sports that they are guaranteed to place in. Lots of cross country athletes.

Korea is killing it in speed skating and have a surprising amount of medals for a country that doesn't have snow.
