HedleyLamarr Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 and 14 golds beats pretty much anything else.This. Hats off to the USA for dominating the overall medal count, really, it is something to be proud of. We have the most gold though, and considering our huge disadvantage in terms of population numbers I think we can claim victory. That and the fact that our 14 gold medals means we now hold the record for the most first place finishes then any other country in a single Winter Games. Quite an accomplishment for little old 34,000,000 Canada.I've never gotten this argument. It's not as dumb as the "Your team won the Cup because they have mostly Canadians on the team." argument, but it's close. Do Canadians use this excuse for every international competition when they come up short?The US and Canada both spend a lot more money on national athletics than just about every nation. Both nations send approximately the same amount of athletes to the Winter Games. And considering how much of the US population lives and/or participates in Winter Games-ish activities, the population ratio gets a lot closer to that 10:1 ratio Canadians tend to point out.While it may be a fact, it's a grossly exaggerated excuse, at best. If you're going to flaunt that around, then explain why little old Norway has earned more overall Winter Games medals than Canada.I bet all the Canadians are saying "Eh" and "Aboot" at the closing ceremonies. Head of VANOC John Furlong said "Eh" in his closing speech.I may have missed it, but NBC also came back from commercial and Furlong was already into his speech. NBC had way too many damn commercials during the Closing Ceremonies. Was it really that important to keep showing these overplayed Coke and McDonald's commercials one final time?Only Hedley could make this the worst use of Musical talent at a closing ceremonies. They owe us Rush.I did no such thing!But Rush sucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmd9 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd say denver would be great, Boise wouldn't be too exciting...I always thought seattle would be cool, but not sure about the facilities?but anywhere in the U.S. would be cool...as long as Pittsburgh never hosts the Winter or Summer Olympics I am happy haha even though right now that city has the most Canadian hockey fans right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winter Olympics were far more small-time then than they are now, and they are still comparatively small potatoes to the Summer Games2. Lake Placid is a huge winter resort town and has had much of the facilities already in place for use.3. At least in the case of the 1980 Games, nobody else wanted them.
