Well, we've dropped back to 3rd place. Germany beat Canada by 1 medal. They now have 30. Canada has 29. We've picked up a 10th bronze.
Huh. I must have been looking at something a little behind then. Thanks for the clarification JSF.

In America the Network records the events but then plays them in Prime Time, and keeps using the term "Live" when the stage is the opposite side of the planet. I suspect the Network contracts prohibit news of the results, embargoed until the Network has seen fit to play the edited final cut. Many Americans seem to be willing to believe that Korea is the Time Zone near their home.
I expect your news was more accurate, and did not search for confirmation either way.
If you look at website nbcolympics I think they do not update the results until the network masquerade has been broadcast.
I must state that I am glad that the activities seem to have gone well. No spying and shower recordings like Russia, no health-jeopardy and rampant crime like Rio, and no terrorism.
How many years has it been since such International fellowship was successful?

No, no. I look at a couple of sites for the medals and one site has them all backwards. Not sure why.
I know the American networks often tout these events as live when they broadcast but are recorded. That must be in the contracts they sign to be able to show some of the events on the news. True people don't think of the time difference and that Korea is on the other side of the world from them. CBC is usually pretty good and accurate for things like this.
It was nice not to hear of anything horrible happening at the Olympics. Don't know JSF. Don't know but it was nice to see the actual meaning of the Olympics expressed.

Canada has placed a respectable third just behind Germany.
11 Gold medals will be coming with them and our athletes will be welcomed home with honour.
Think this may include an invite from the PM to Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

I did not realize that NHL players were not allowed to participate in the Olympics. The Canadian members voted majority to not participate, and US members agreed with a larger percent vote.
Sounds like IOC may not allow participation in 2022.
This was S Korea.
2020 is Tokyo, and 2022 is Beijing, right?

Not sure if I knew that or not.
These Winter games were in South Korea. Would have to look up when the next games are summer and winter. They are every 4years.

This time seemed unusual for USA.
Didn't win some Golds, like when NHL players were forbidden.
But won some Golds in events that we had never Medalled in before.
Haven't really seen a summary of this, just putting together different pieces.

These games did seem a little unusual for the USA. Usually it is the USA, Canada is trying to beat. This time we did it easily.

A week after the conclusion of the Winter Olympics, Sir Roger Bannister passed away.
He was an Olympian in 1952, 4 years before his historic milestone, when he retired in the same year he became the first to run a mile in less than 4 minutes.
RIP Sir Bannister.
