In the Winter Olympics, the USA has only won the gold medal count once (1932 Lake Placid) in 23 Winter Olympiads entered.

By contrast, we have won the gold medal count in 17 of the 27 Summer Olympiads we've competed in.

Now all that being said, we are still underachieving so far this year. We have finished no lower than 2nd in the Winter overall medal count in the past four games since a dismal 6th place at Nagano 1998. We're currently 6th.

Damn Asians screwing everything up. I blame Flaggy
Agree. :nod: :nod:

I'm missing something here - even on Firestick I have to watch the games on NBC.

We picked up a couple more bronzes and are now in sole possession of 6th place with 12 medals: one behind the Frogs, one ahead of the Drugskis. Woohoo.

But she bailed out on the new team competition because she and others,didn’t think they would medal. Spoiled brats. Hockey team going to shoot out vs Czech. Great game.

I've missed the speed skating - have their unis been as tight as advertised? For the ladies I mean. Well ok, for the men too, but asking for our friend on that one...

Vonn and the top 4-5 of the finalists looked pretty goddamned good. Especially when Vonn bend over in her white uniform. Eye carumba!

I don't have a clue what is Live and what is recorded, but I just watched the USA win a gold medal in some sort of women's cross country relay race. And the finish was awesome. Worth a watch.

Amazingly, the cross country and biathlon races are fun to watch. Maybe just once every four years fun to watch, but fun to watch regardless.

And that race you watched was likely recorded - the cross country race the USA won in has been over for hours now. Not that that's a bad thing.
