It is strange as I remember some years ago there was a thing with violin player Vanessa may and a Japanese comedian trying to represent Thailand but it didn't come off.

Right now Norway () leads in both Gold medal (13) and total medals (28.)  That's about a gold medal for every 400,000 people in the country.  Why is Norway () so dominant at these games?

1: Rich
2: Lots of snow
3: Lots of mountains.

Make a list of countries this applies to.

They are childlike beings of the wild.

[FunkMonk]

Some countries merely adopt the winter. Norway was born in it, molded by it.

A systematic approach to creating god athletes in winter sports. It's quite beautiful.

Let's not go nuts.

I don't see how that is tricking the system. The Olympics have always been the place to watch hilariously poor athletes compete against the best.

My favourite Olympics story - apparently one of the mascots is a very cute gender non-specific panda Bing Dwen Dwen:


Everyone loved them - they were the breakout star in China. And then Bing Dwen Dwen spoke - with the voice of a clearly middle aged man from the North-East (China's rust belt). Which caused huge reaction and dismay on the Chinese net

Imagining a British version it's as if it turned out to have the voice of Jimmy Nail

Canada won gold in hockey - the only thing I watched at this Olympics.  So at least something is still as it should be.   

[Admiral Yi]

Aren't pretty much all animal mascots gender non-specific?

Depends on the name, I suppose. Misha's a lad.

[Admiral Yi]

Fair enough.

Cana lost in the quarter finals to Sweden.

GB won their first medal only just now? In curling of all sports. What happened?
