8 gold medals now tops our record of 7 in Turin... And by the looks of it were going to dominate the last 2 days lol
At what point are people going to backtrack on their comments earlier in the thread about our poor performance? So unless we win the whole of the medal count "own the podium" was a failure? lol So stupid. |

If the Toronto Maple Leafs said they were GOING to WIN the Stanley Cup but lost in the first round of the playoffs....would that not be a failure?
The Canadian Olympic Committee said they WOULD finish on top of the medal standings...and Canada will not....FAILURE |

Because the Russian men's curling team is awful and has never qualified for the Olympics, or any world championship. Ever.
The Russian women's curling team is a bit better, but they still have never beat Canada in an Olympics. I'm pretty sure Canada has never lost to Russia in a world championship either.
I am just wondering where you would have seen this. :conf: |

That's like a guy getting beaten to a pulp and saying "I got in one good shot there, didn't I?"
And if the Americans had gone out on the ice and drank beer and smoked cigars after, we would've never heard the end of it. |

I don't think is a total FAILURE. Canada improved compared to last olympic games, and that's something
Is like saying that the Canadian Soccer team will win the world cup, but finished just after Mexico and the US in the qualification round. What I'm trying to say here is that we need to be more realistic, not because we say we're going to get 100 medals, and we only get 90 we FAILED

| Canada will most likely finish third in overall medals and FIRST in overall golds. Well done. |
