I care!
Norway has 26 medals. Norway—a snarky socialist country of 5.3 million.
We have 330 million in the US and Norway is kicking our @sses. How humiliating.
So. The US has never exactly been a Winter Olympics powerhouse.
And don’t forget a lot of those athletes that compete for other countries, actually live and train here in the US.
I like good competition, period, and at this point I really don’t care where they’re from.
Did you know that Norway is the all-time leader in Winter Olympic medals? This isn’t anything new.
In total all time Olympic medals (combined summer and winter games) the US has 2804 medals according to wiki. Second place with less than half that total is the former Soviet Union with 1204. With other versions of Russia added you get a total of 1884. Germany Britain and France round out the top five.
Canada is beating the USA too..i get canadian tv...they are loving this....they worry about that more than anything.
Hey.
We have a conservative government (including my own progress party) atm and just saw our Prime Minister who is at the olympics being interviewed by CNN.
Our PM broke script and warned not to take any of these North Korean charm offensives seriously and that the little dictator needs to be dealt with.
And, yes?
2 more golds today.
I think this olympics we will beat the US world record single winter olympic medal haul. Hope I didn’t just jinx us just there.
GOAT? That we have always been and noone is even close. Not America, Not the Soviet Union, Not the East Germans.....
A nation of 5 million taking on the entire world and smacking them around in the snow. Except Hockey :p
So when people ask why Norway is not like Finland or Sweden in hockey? I tell them to look at the Olympic medal table. Our best athletes are channeled into different sports.
Btw, men’s figureskating should be banned. I accidently ended up watching the fairy Trump basher.
‘
Trump should institute a travel ban for male figure skaters including the Americans.
That sort of thing? Should not be tolerated.
Cheers.
