Another gold for Italy and another surprising medal for Norway, those 2 must be among the 3 most overperforming countries here, together with Czech Republic probably. The only logical explanation is that Italy traded football world cup for all those insane results here, no other explanation for why they are completely overperforming here. Norway probably has won half a dozen surprising medals by now, while Germany didn't win any so far, so not surprising that they lead the medal table. Surprises are what makes the olympics special, but so far there hasn't been any event where Germany surprisingly won a medal, so it's impossible to get very excited about the olympics as a german fan ...

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

How is Italy overperforming if I may ask? 

They're not, not even a little bit. In fact I think one gold and bronze is (a little, one medal or something) less than what one could realistically have hoped for after the currently finished events. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
