Finally made an overview, and if I looked correctly, this is what we have tickets for:

 

10 feb – Cross-country skiing (Bruna, classic sprint)
My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents

 

12 feb – Cross-country skiing (Bruna, 10k freestyle)

My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents

 

14 feb – Biathlon (Baiba, sprint women)
My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents, Bruna

 

15 feb – Biathlon (Baiba? Pursuit women)
Me, Bruna

 

18 feb – Cross-country skiing (Bruna, teamsprint vrije stijl)

My dad, my sister, me, Bruna's employees, Bruna's parents

 

21 feb – Biathlon (Baiba? Mass start women)
Me, Bruna

So if anyone is at any of those events, let me know  

 

We have a large Brazilian flag, a large Dutch flag, a small Brazilian/Dutch flag stitched together, orange hats, Brazil hats, my parents in law and me have bright blue Brazil jackets, it should be clear  

Just to be clear, only you need to wear the Borat mankini.  Not the whole party.

Made and sent a wish list of pins I want, let's see how many can be crossed off in the next weeks   Don't mind the notes, that's just to make it easier for Bruna

 

Spoiler

Extra cool because first time ever at the Winter Olympics:
Benin (1 alpine skier)
Guinea-Bissau (1 alpine skier) 
United Arab Emirates (2 alpine skiers) 
 

Cool because, I assume, rare:
Eritrea (1 alpine skier) 
Kyrgyzstan (1 alpine skier, 1 male cross-country skier) 

Kenya (2 alpine skiers) 

Mongolia (1 alpine skier, 2 cross-country skiers including Ari) 

Madagascar (2 alpine skiers) 
Haiti (1 alpine skier + the tall cross-country skier) 
Lebanon (alpine plus the cross-country skier who nearly died a few years ago) 
Malta (Jenny!) 
Jamaica (alpine and bobsleigh) 
 

Cool because of other reasons:
Chinese Taipei (Sophia's country, already got it I think?) 
Israel (male cross-country skier plus a few in other sports) 
China (lots of sports of course) 
Hong Kong (alpine and short track) 
Kosovo (alpine skiers) 
 

Just cool/exotic in general:
Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Venezuela (all just 1 athlete, all male cross-country skiers, of course Klaus for Ecuador)    
India (male cross-country skier plus 1 alpine skier) 
Malaysia (1 female alpine skier) 
Nigeria (1 male cross-country skier)  
Monaco (1 male alpine skier) 
Mexico (5 athletes, of course including Regina) 
Pakistan (1 male alpine skier) 
Puerto Rico (1 female skeleton athlete) 
San Marino (1 female alpine skier) 
Singapore (1 alpine skier) 
Trinidad (alpine skiing and a bobsleigh team) 
Uruguay (1 alpine skier) 
Uzbekistan (1 alpine skier, 1 short track skater) 
Luxembourg (2 alpine skiers) 
 

Ukraine would also be cool because go Ukraine 
I don't think the neutral Russians have pins, unfortunately, but just in case, they compete with 'AIN' as abbreviation

You should get a  pin, for somewhere in the same realm of reasoning of Ukraine and what’s going on with the US.

Not a bad idea

 

I just realize, I know  unfortunately competes under the Danish flag, but what if they have some Greenlandic pins...!? That'd be awesome!

 

Besides 'exotic' or 'rare' I also want 'controversial'  I know that's a sensitive thing, but some countries - whether you like them or not - are without a doubt controversial in some sense at the moment (controversial as in, there is serious stuff going on). I'm double happy with the and  pins: both because they are countries with stuff going on and so left or right, they are interesting in some sense, but mostly because I just really like the athletes that gave the pins (they're both really nice people)  

 

Just wanted to stress that with 'controversial' I don't personally mean anything bad at all
