quote: 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!! [ 02-25-2002: Message edited by: Moni ] |

[qb] Gold is all that really counts. [/QUOTE] 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. [ 02-26-2002: Message edited by: Yorick ] |
