I saw that. Pritty sweet. Are those two guys brothers? I thought I heard somone say that on the news.

 

Did anyone see the womans ski event where one person broke their knee? I only heard about it.

 

 

I didn't actually see the opening of the games... But I did see the Daily show report on it. (I wan't sure if this would best fit in Hilarity, Olympics, or Mohammed Cartoon issue. :roll: )

...Capped off of course by the nations entering the stadium.

 

Interesting that all the nations are marching in to the accompanyment of a seemingly random collection of 80's American Pop tunes.

Yes! The world hates us! ...until we make them dance.

But perhaps most appopriately Denmark home of the infamous Mohammed cartoons entered to I $#!7 you not; 70's remix of 'don't let me be misunderstood.' It was a last minute replacement for their orriginal choice 'Don't Let me be Left Alone With the Pakistani Delegation.'

Well, there all over now - and the results are in.

Germany won, followed by America, Austria and in forth place Russia.

 

Australia was in there somewhere, with 1 gold and 1 bronze . . . what can I say, we don't see snow that much :roll::wink:

 

Check out how your country (and others) did HERE

* The Olympic rules lay out that the Final Rank should be based on the overall number of gold medals won.

The position of each nation in the Rank by total number of medals won is determined by the total number of medals won.

Nations with an equal number of medals won will be assigned the same position (indicated with an "=").

Nations in the following positions will be assigned a position with a successive ordinal to that of nations preceding it.

 

Those numbers lined up a lot better in notepad. O_<

 

Switzerland got 8th, but tied for 7th in number of medals. :wink:

Not bad for a rather flat mountainless country.
Rather flat?! :shock: Man, you don't know the meaning of the word flat until you've been here! :lol: Anyway, you don't need mountains for skating, now do you...

Well, most of them... Norway and the Netherlands dominated the ice for years and years. I think we have scored gold medals in other areas but I really couldn't tell you which...
