@Torunn saidGood for Sweden and you!
Sweden won two gold medals today 🙂
- Ebba Andersson Wins Gold – Women’s 50km Mass Start Classic
- Curling women
I wish we could have gotten more curling. we did get some women's but very little men's,
as those games were on a pay station. They are still showing certain events here. Maybe they will show the curling.
I love that game, but just like football, the US has a long way to go.
Here's the medal count

1. Norway: 41 (18G, 12S, 11B)

Norway has terrific winter athletes, winter sports have long traditions and Norwegians have a remarkable fighting spirit and discipline.
@Torunn saidThey also have snow. 🙂

We have to practice on cotton wool.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidMust be difficult to find the right ski wax.

@Very-Rusty saidWe are happy with the results. The only sad thing was the men's skiing that didn't work well enough. They were extremely disappointed and it moved my heart. Seeing young men cry is difficult.
Yes Congrats great Olympics for Sweden.
