Must fight ...... nooooooo, can't resist ugh :

Zero Avalanche :D .

So we made the top 15 :D . OK, we didn't beat Austria (Boo, Hiss), but we did beat Scotland, I mean the UK ;) . Just think how much we could improve by Smiggins 2010 :D .

For a country that has snow about 10 days a year, we Dutchies didn't do bad. For a country that's one of the key players in long distance speed skating, it was merely a "normal" result. But they did a great job, though! Especially Uytdehaage and Smit were much better than expected. [img]smile.gif[/img]

We got infinitely more bronzes than you did though [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D .

<font color="gold">And the second best country is ...............................(drums)............ .................... NORWAY!!!
YAY!
This is the most medals we've ever taken in the winter-olymipcs.
This has truly been a great OG! You know, Ole Einar Bjørndalen got historical cause he took four of four possible golds, and Ådne Søndrål got bronze even though he had a damage in his shoulder...
This was great...</font>


see ya!

umm...second best in golds. US was second overall with 34 total medals. Sorry, to point this out...maybe that's what you meant [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Anyways, Congrats to all countries' athletes on their superb athletic performances!
It was a great Olympics, and I can't wait until they come back to the States again!

And the second best country is........
(drum roll please)
NORWAY!

Gold is all that really counts. ;)

Congrats to all the winners, all the runner-ups, all the 2nd runner-ups, all the losers ;) and everyone who got a rise out of watching!

I can't wait til Torino!!

Certainly is. ;)
I mean who is better. The team that gets 11 Gold, no silver or bronze, or the team that gets 13 bronze, no gold or silver.

I know who'd be partying harder. ;)

Interesting that some US papers print the rankings on total rather than Gold, whereas in Australia for example, they are rankings like the one I posted. Based on Golds, with silvers then bronzes breaking a tie.
