Oh, right. You're American.

Try reading it slower and sounding out each word.

This beautiful exchange made me actually look that up. 

lol @ the US having more winter olympic medals than Canada by almost 2:1 (253-145).

The summer olympic results are more expected at almost 9:1 (2296-260).

Interesting.

They only pay attention during Hockey and forget there are other sports in the games. 
The competitor to be feared is not the one who worries about others, but the one who goes on making their business better at all times...

Craig that's not to bad for a country that has the population of California, but is the size of Russia. There would have been more medals but Ben Johnson had to give his back as I recall.

He'd make a plan and follow through. That's what Brian Boitano'd do.

It's all about the gold Craig (second place is really just the first loser) and in 2010 Canada broke the record for most gold ever won by a country at a winter games.  Not bad for a country with roughly one tenth the population of the states.

Again, not my fault no one wants to live there.... Wink

Agreed, it's all about the gold.  

That's only like a 10:1 ratio (1016:110).

Why do you keep bringing the Summer Olympics into this, we suck at the summer olympics and thread started talking about the winter.  Winter golds are more like 87 USA-52 Can.  Plus it is the recent results that matter most, in 2010 it is Canada's 14 to USA 9 and we're tied right now at the current games. 

Also 10:1 ratio makes sense as that is the population ratio as well.
