Now question for all the Euro's. In the US papers, news media, they put the medal tally listed by NUMBER OF TOTAL MEDALS first.

However in Europe is the country with the MOST GOLD MEDALS first.

 

Which counts?

:happy1: Gold Medal for Germany in Bobsleigh (2 men) for André Lange (puh his braker almost missed the bob in the first run, so it could have been over for them immediately :o ). Bronze Medal in 1000m Iceskating for Anni Friesinger <_< . A Dutch won gold (I forgot her name :D ) and silver for Canada (Cindy Klassen I think ).

You heard about the doping-case in the austrian team?

 

Funny thing: Because you have to go to jail in Italy if you use doping, two biathlon athletes (Wolgang Gredler, Wolfgang Perner) immediately left the country :lol: . Another guy (must have been their former trainer) has "visited" the austrian team, although he isn't allowed to join any olympic games as a trainer until 2010 cause the ioc punished him for doping athletes during the last olympic wintergames. He also tried to leave the country but got caught by the italian police on the border :lol: . Now they've put them in a psychiatry :lol: .

I don't know if you noticed Factor, but most of your medals are from non-snowboard sports. I would say you still have a good shot. As for Norway we're pretty down about all of this... Key athletes have been ill and are ill, everyone else has gotten better, and we have no luck at all.

Yeah but what's this I hear that they lost on purpose?? Just to get a weaker semi-final opponent? BAD SWEDEN :P (We're doing so badly we're just glad to have some other scandals (Austria too) to distract us from our own little scandal...)
