Sort of soothes the pain of the two previous times they hosted the Olympics and posted a big goose egg.
Originally posted by trev33 if you look at the number of golds won to number of gold available ratio, canada have broken no records 😛
Ok Clueless! 😛
Canada has won more Gold Medals in The Winter Games than any ONE Country winning 14. The old record was 13. Get Raven 69 to explain it to you, if you still don't understand. 😛
The point was the U.S.S.R had the old record at 13 gold medals... but then again that was a bunch of countries working together in one. Now all those countries that separated compete under their own country name. Back then there were way less events I think is the point he was trying to make. So for us Canadians to get 14 now with more events breaks the record but the ratio of available gold to the # won (14) isn't as impressive as winning 13 gold before compared to the amount available (way less back then).

Canada did awesome either way 🙂
I think Norway also had 13 at one time if I am not mistaken.
Yes, after not having any Gold in our previous two Winter Olympics at Home, it is really a big accomplishment. Plus no one has more for now, and will not for at least 4 years. 😉

Well done, Canada! Gold standard and great games. I was thoroughly impressed! Hope the Russian games are this good!

This has to exceed Canadian expectations, the fact they won gold in both men's and women's hockey was even sweeter. There must have been a lot of pressure on both teams
