Needs more Ice Hockey.

Beach Hockey :1orglaugh

and you'll get Silver just like you did in May. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Silver is still better than nothing

We will beat you hosers with our toques at the winter games eh.

not when you lose to Russians i the finals on your home ice... oh, and then, Ovechkin takes your "lucky loonie" and cuts it in two pieces..

id give your mom a gold for being so sexy. :2 cents:

Rowing hasn't finished yet. We'll have some medals then. :winkwink:

Besides, it's not Canada you need to worry about, it's Australia.

USA - population: 305 million - 11 medals so far

Australia - population: 22 million - 5 medals so far

On a per capita basis Australia kicks everyone's ass.

We have more loonies

At least the Russians had their best player. Ours was still in the NHL playoffs.

Norway = 1 silver so far...

as if that would have made any difference. You do realize that Russia was missing guys like Datsyuk and Malkin. Now that alone worth a lot more that crying dive-master Crosby.

looks more like the US is getting their ass kicked by China

I think China will end up with the most medals. They have a thing called Project 119 that was instilled after they got the bid to host the games. Basically they have been developing athletes in lesser known and competitive sports that offer a lot of medal opportunities. Shooting for instance is one and I believe half their medals were in that field.

You always have to worry about Australia. Turn your back for a second and they're drunk and trying to fuck your daughter.

I would have to say China is whooping ass right now. 7/3/0 to US 3/4/5? That's gold/silver/bronze.

Go The Fucking Aussies!!!!!!!!!

i know i know :)
i just hate threads like that... you e.g. you can expect a huge chunk of US gold to come from one single person: Phelps.
distorts the image too
even though phelps is a robot... incredible and exciting to watch

4 top 3 countries in medals at any moment just search:

We finished 4th in the past two olympics, but I don't think we will go so well this time...:(

You know what's amazing?

India:
2008 Estimated population: 1,147,995,898 people

Only 1 medal so far and most likely it won't be much more

Brazil has just 2 broze medals so far :(

85% of canadians are useless.

One of the good things about now living in a country that doesn't win a ton of medals is how important each medal won becomes and the attention those athletes get. The UK will make a star out of somebody from the most obscure of events if the win the gold and people that win gold in track and field become national treasures. I kind of like that.

Amazing that the host country is leading with so many gold medals.

We'll probably give them some of our medals that we don't care that much about, just so they won't whine and cry when it's over. Kinda like you do with your little brother or sister- give them the left over shit you don't want so they'll shut up and leave you alone.

why don't you looking up instead of "I think so".. shooting has been their sport for long long time.

Crazy, Canada took a huge delegation. As usual, the best dressed delegation. (?)

they'd be good porn webbies... thats exactly what we do with microniches :pimp

I love it when the Aussies win. They're like our sister nation on the opposite side of the world, both having been born from British colonies.

When they win it's like a win for Canada as well, by proxy. :D

Georgia won a medal, I wonder if it will be re-atributed to russia in a couple weeks :)

Aussies have some awesome swimmers. :2 cents:

I root for the smaller countries a lot because many of those guys/girls don't have the same advantages that the athletes in these major countries do.

Sucks to be a canadian these day..

Population doesnt matter...they have the same number of athletes .....

Hellz yeah! USA with 27 medals!

Umm yes it does matter. Its far more difficult for a country of 20 million to get together enough elite athleets to compete at this level, compared to a country with 15 times the population in the USA. China has 65 times Australias population. Anyway they don't hand out medals for per capita performance...

i like seeing how Russian + its former stats combined do
if you do that they're in 2nd place at 24 vs 27 US

LOL! Sounds like a poor excuse for Olympic losers.

Population doesn't matter? Um, sorry, but it matters a lot when considering the size of the pool from which a country has to draw it's top athletes from. A country with 320 million for example, is going to have many more times the athletes to pick from (for most sports) than a country 1/10th it's size. It's also going to have a far larger economy thus far more monetary resources to foster and train those athletes and develop organizations for them.

10 times the population, 10 times the wealth.

But we are trying to keep up. Honest.

sound like you aren't very good at math :winkwink:

holland 15th, majority of the medals in Judo LOL

hehe, we are 3rd on the overall medal tally....:pimp

Here's the 2004 Summer Olympics medal table if anybody was interested in comparing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Su...cs_medal_count

0 medals for Canada so far is sad

Apparently we will show up sometime next week... or something.

olympics are stupid anyway...big deal some dude won 6 medals doing the same fucking thing. Why not a medal for the the best 3 inning baseball team, 4 inning baseball team, 5...you get my point. Wow that guy danced around the floor the best give him a medal

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

I see that the world agrees with you and are canceling the Olympics. :1orglaugh
