I'd be curious to see that, but every Olympics I see people from every country on here complaining about how they missed so many chances and got so many 4th places  

What? That’s nonsense. Only  gets fourth places.

I imagine it must be nice to have good ones to remember

Canada even trailing in the race for most 4th places.

Poland was so bad these Olympics we usually did not even get as high as fourth place. And zap - problem solved

Well for Canada we can never seem to escape them (this has been going on for many Olympics in a row), hence why there’s some frustration. I mean, we’re even 4th in 4th place finishes. 
 

Personally, I choose to remember both the good and bad moments equally, as neither outweigh the other.
