Winter Olympics

[Landdownunder]

We dont exactly excel at the winter discipline but pundits hoping austrlia might end up with a tally of 7 to 10 medals in total likely no gold.
I tune in most nights.
Guess team canada will have a fair haul.

Perhaps you would have more winter Olympians if you didn't export all of your winter sports athletes to live and work in Banff.
And Jasper and Whistler and Revelstoke and Golden etc.

I think Aussie is the most commonly spoken language in Canadian ski towns.

And we are very grateful to have them. Always friendly and hard working, and hard to understand...

It's to bad those Kiwi's are showing you up right now (silver and bronze), but there are many "OZZY" hopefuls in the coming days.

Go CANADA!!!!!

I always knew God had a sense of humor

Think the Aussies that come here are the ones that end up going to the Olympics. Maybe says something about the economy that there's less coming over here so they have less Olympians...

Turns out skiing backwards down a slope is a sport now ??? That's the reason I quit skiing! Hope we have better luck with the mens and womens curling.

Downunder, your Woods (Gold) defeated the King (CDN.) in a tiebreaker for Freestyle Skiing Moguls this morning.

I'd congratulate you if it was another country.

Canada's first Men's Hockey this morning.
McDavid looks like he came to get a Gold Metal.

Woods is a surprise winner only in as far as he simply does not have the same record of success at the highest level as many of the others who joined him in the Super Final.

Where Mikaël Kingsbury has won 100 FIS World Cup events, Ikuma Horishima 24, Matt Graham five and Walter Wallberg four, Woods has just one silver medal to his name.
