Gold in short track speed skating!

Top of the medal table right now!

Boogie · « **Reply #61 on:** February 10, 2014, 02:39:38 PM »

Bilodeau repeats as Olympics champion in men's moguls!

Gold and silver in women's moguls

Gold and silver in men's moguls

Canada owns the mogul hill!

Still on top of medal standings! Three gold, three silver, one bronze!

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #62 on:** February 10, 2014, 02:43:55 PM »

Who got bronze? It sounded like Canada was going to get all three medals in men's moguls?

Russian dude got bronze.

Our third skier came in 4th. His final run was a little rough.

Boogie being strongly nationalistic? What a twist!

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #65 on:** February 10, 2014, 03:58:23 PM »

Not a complaint, just an observation: No one seems to mind Canadians being nationalistic ("Oh, look that's cute!"), but American nationalism is annoying.

nothing reeked more of bandwagon patriotism than that landon donavan miracle goal during the last World Cup. But fuck it, that moment was glorious

Oh no you don't. You yanks don't get to be all "America! Fuck ya! We're #1!" all the time and then get to go running to claim some other country when Old Glory can't get 'Er done.

yer gonna sit there and take yer whoopings like a man!

Boogie · « **Reply #71 on:** February 11, 2014, 08:36:18 PM »

(I know it's probably going to be a stretch for us to rule the gold medal count again this time. I just want us to come out on top of the USA and the Russians.

Boogie · « **Reply #72 on:** February 12, 2014, 09:59:16 AM »

Aaaand on that note, in women's hockey, Canada just beat the US 3-2!

spoiler (click to show/hide)

in a game that means nothing other than morale and momentum. They are almost certain to meet again for the gold medal game

Holland is doing pretty well. Ice skating of course.

All three medals twice!

Boogie · « **Reply #74 on:** February 12, 2014, 10:27:48 AM »

Ya, the Dutch just completely own long track speed skating. I'm still kinda bummed that we just barely missed sweeping the men's moguls.

Also, a silver in 1,000m speed skating for Canada!

Reb · « **Reply #75 on:** February 12, 2014, 01:40:09 PM »

That's 8 medals in 3 events.

Norway has been underperforming, and today lost the cross country relay. The tv studio people are all up in arms and there is a fantastic twitter-feed scrolling on screen of people who are borderline suicidal.

Man, since our initial ass-kicking in the first two days, we haven't won any more golds. A truckload of silvers though. $:-\$

I think any more gold hopes are going to rest on the curling and hockey teams, and those are always a crapshoot. Could go 4 for 4, or 0 for 4.

Reb · « **Reply #83 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:23:24 AM »

I forgot to post the dutch top 4 at the 1500m for women on Sunday.
Also a big change at another 3 medals at the 10000m for men today.

EDIT: Yup, another 3 medals.

Hehe, here are all speed skating medals:

Umm, no. That's all the long track speed skating medals. Your Dutch bias is leading you to forget that short track exists.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #85 on:** February 18, 2014, 03:35:12 PM »

The official Sochi website splits it in speed skating and short track.
I was careful to use those naming conventions to avoid being called out.

Alas!

I'd say total medals and then sort by gold, silver, bronze.

However, once the skating stops, Holland will sink pretty hard.

Aaaand in hockey, the Russians get turfed by Finland in the quarter finals!

Second Olympics in a row they don't even make the semis.

Putin to disappear the entire team to a Siberian gulag.

Nah, I don't move goalposts as some sort of sad, desperate attempt to make my country's performance look better.

Gold in women's curling!

Clawed back up to 5th in the medal table now!

The remaining hockey and curling games will decide my country's fate this Olympics, from this point...

The last five minutes of the 3rd + OT was insane. That sequence of the ref skating into the Canadian defence and then the post is proof that there are Hockey Gods, and they have a sick sense of humour.

US Women held it together well, but then fell apart with a few minutes left in regulation. Excting game, though!

Gonna watch the game tomorrow morning with coffee and breakfast. Should be awesome.

Boogie · « **Reply #102 on:** February 20, 2014, 07:48:01 PM »

I'm definitely nervous about the game tomorrow. Your guys have looked much better than us so far in the tourney.

Boogie · « **Reply #103 on:** February 21, 2014, 06:59:44 AM »

Aaand with a gold and silver in ski cross, we (briefly, I'm sure) climb back to 2nd in the medal table!

All right yanks, let's do this! You guys may have lit up the scoreboard so far, but now you have to deal with the best defencemen in the world!

DOUGHTY!

WEBER!

I love the way the TOTALLY FUCKING SCOTTISH curling teams are SO SO BRITISH right now...
