Canadian bias kicking in, no way we win 8 golds and 15 total in the first 9 days. We won 7 (golds) and 24 (total) at Tokyo 2020 haha. 

Yeah, but we didn't have Summer McIntosh in Tokyo (well, we did, but not prime Summer).  We haven't had a double gold medal winner at the SOG since Donovan Bailey in 1996, let alone a mutli-gold medal winner.
