USA! USA!

It was an awesome run by both Barke & Kearney. As long as the Chinese aren't winning, we can be happy.

So what are the handful of protestors against the Olympics actually protesting against? Commercialization of sports? The corruption in the IOC? Prevalent doping in sports? :huh:

Probably protesting that Gitmo still hasn't been closed, and that US troops are still in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I didn't know Canadian could be Nationalistic.  I thought it was against their constitution or something.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

SO, can Canada finally win a Gold medal when hosting an Olympics? Or will the streak continue....

given the number of golds we have won since 88, either you know nothing about recent olympic history or you are just trolling.

Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote. Canada did not win a Gold Medal in the 1988 Winter Olympics nor did they win any Gold Medals in the 1976 Summer Olympics. Granted I doubt anyone thought that Canada would win Gold in the 1972 games but still that is two Olympics hosted with ZERO Gold.

Nowhere did I say that Canada hasn't won Gold Medals at Olympics outside of Canada.

I hope Canada wins one soon, so the newscasters will shut up about it.

So Silver and Bronze for US in Short Track Speedskating eh?

Yeah, almost a Gold and a Silver but the Korean in the lead managed to stay on his feet despite his teammate's best effort to trip him. I don't follow the sport except during the Olympics but it seems that the South Koreans cheat a lot. Anytime they have several people in a heat it just always seems to happen that a Korean trips, pushes, or drags on someone in the lead or trying to take the lead. It looks more like roller derby when they are involved.

I always thought it was only the Qubecois who acted like that.

Dude, I've been to Copenhagen and visited Rosenborg Castle. Christian IV had his motto, family tree and just about all other inscriptions in German. So yeah, you're right.
