Winter Olympic Games 2018 Medal Count

[Bohemia 1,439]

So, record of gold medals for France (only one more than the last record), but as much medals in total as in Sochi, which was already the record. Kind of disappointing. But "only" five 4 places

[orangeman 2,017]

Germany will probably tie Canada's record 14 gold medals tomorrow in bobsled (and if miracles do happen, they might break it in hockey).  Norway can also tie the record in cross-country.  

 

How about this, Germany: You let our sled sneak in for bronze in bobsled and we'll give you some tips on how to beat the Russians in hockey?  

 

Even at 29, it's our best total medals ever and best non-home gold medal count.  That is pretty incredible considering the debacle in curling, and to a lesser extent in hockey, too.  Got medals in 9 sports, and came so close to tying the record of 10 today with a 4th in cross-country.  Pretty well-rounded performance.  

 

By they way, Sebastian Toutant's gold in snowboard today was Canada's 500th Olympic medal (summer+winter) ever.  Pretty cool.

I would have no problem with Canada winning bronze in mens 4-man, but i doubt that it would mean Germany losing it. Walther is on the rise and i cant see him not overtaking the korean guy tomorrow. About the hockey tips: No thanks, this canadian team for sure doesnt know how to beat Russia, after the disgusting behavior of Canada in the semifinal Germany for sure doesnt want or need any help from them and most importantly as good as those tips might be, Germany will still lose 0:3 to 0:6.

It's a big honor.

So Austria slips back to 10th place, one silver medal behind France. I wonder if there was any event today where someone could have won that medal

Croatia needs to find another Kostelić.

Thank goodness little old NZ made the Winter Olympic table. Our two big freestyle skier and snowboarder being injured before the start, and a whole lot of 4ths had me worried we were going to be unlucky once again.

New Zealand was due, but I feel the best is yet to come. Both medalists are 16 (!) and there seems to be a lot of freestyle skiing and snowboarding talent coming out of New Zealand. I would be surprised if there wasn't at least one Kiwi medal in 2022.
