And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  

Happens at every games (the negativity). I remember the British press labeling the Vancouver games as the worst ever (before they even started). Arguably those were the best Winter Games in recent memory.

Two pages of bitching about  biathlon and Giacomel will get a win

Wow, a huge 7th place finish for Taylor Austin in men’s four-man at the Lillehammer WC!

They got very, very close to not getting a third quota by points in the 5000m. Like two positions away in the last world cup close. IIRC it was like a tenth of a second or something? Too lazy to go check exactly what it was, but point it, it was very close.
