I heard some athletes commenting that they haven't seen a single child during the entire games and it made me think, I'm not sure I've seen any on TV either.

EDIT: IBF obvious child athletes pun, wasn't thinking about underage athletes

the smart, thoughtful russian got first, the girl who bombed her short program but did five quads in the long got second, threw a tantrum in the media room, called her coach a *****, flipped off the cameras, said she hated everyone and everything and was quitting the sport because she didn't win. the japanese, the best pure skater, got third, and the doper imploded and didn't win any medal at all

that's some tonya harding vibes right there

Tough to imagine a worst system to go through than US Woman's Gymnastics, but Russian Ice Skating has to be close.

Half pipe with this high wind is just too dangerous especially for the skiiers, they are going that much higher than the boards. Russian roulette on skis. One guy already crumpled on the edge. Guys are playing it "safe" now and landing way down on the flat which is killing their speed.

There goes another guy as I type.

Norway obliterating the medals table at the end of it all. 16 golds and 37 medals total, well ahead of everyone.

Countries that pulled the biggest lol at XXIV Olympic Winter Games ?

Great Britain: 2 medals in Curling, one Gold, one Silver.

Any other nominees for most disappointing Winter Olympic results ?

CAN can't be happy, no? 4 golds seems like a failure for a winter olympicing country like CAN. did any betting sites have over/under total golds for top winter olympicing countries?

For my country Dutch bookies had golden medals o/u 7.5 for 2.5 over 1.76 under and for any medals o/u 18.5 paying 1.83 .
Results: 8 golden medals , 17 total.

I have not bet on these.

I'm not sure what's funny about this. Scotland is a consistently strong team at the World's, not surprisingly given it's where the sport was created.

The projections I saw heading in ranged from 4-8, so this was on the low end but not shocking. Why our projection was so low, I don't know.
