I hope you're good a math. There are 36 million Canadians that supply you with your team. There are 324 million Americans that supply us with our team.

Do the math and give Canada a handicap. It's only fair. Make sense?

Hey, if Team Canada comes home with more medals than you all. Welp, I'll be glad.

I think it would be amazing if you even came close to medaling the same or better than the U.S.. If you look at high schools with the best winning records, they are the biggest ones. Do you get where I am going with this The fact that you and even other smaller countries are leading in medals is incredible.

Are you stupid?
The thread title has WINTER Olympics. Canada has far more WINTER than almost all of the contiguous United States. Vast swaths, possibly a majority of Americans don't even know what WINTER is.
I would generally be surprised if Canada did not have significant collection of Medals in any WINTER Olympics. Likewise Norway Sweden, Greenland, Iceland.
The US teen Gold winner from Torrance needed her dad to drive 10 hours round trip each weekend for her to have snow to practice with, at Mammoth. Many Canadians can practice in their backyard every day, some even every day of the year.

Have 13 medals now. And Toronto is a pretty big city as is Vancouver. Lots of our winter athletes come from those two cities and also Montreal and Quebec City.

Looks like Canada is 3rd place for Medals total.
