8 gold, 5 silver, 6 bronze.
Oh, the USA has 12.
Are there enough Medals remaining for Canada to jump into first?
3 fresh Golds, good day.

No we are still behind Germany. They have 20 and Norway have 28.
First might be a stretch but I'm thinking second is a good chance.

Good for the USA.
No one is going to beat Norway this year. Canada still has a slim shot at 2nd, I think. But if not 3rd is still pretty respectable.

Do you understand anything you read, I'm serious? My posts regarding Canada were designed to be a complement.

Do you get where I am going with this The fact that you and even other smaller countries are leading in medals is incredible.

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?

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.

Apparently Canada Olympian K Osmond practiced 4 times per week at her local shopping mall.
Also, reportedly only 3 women have landed a Triple Axel in Olympic history. The only one this year is not even ranked in the top 10. That seems weird for the best of the best.
