This morning I looked at the sports page as usual and saw all the medal results for the winter Olympics. While the USA had the most medals, Canada had the most gold medals. In 1964 and 1968, the USA won only one gold medal and a total of 7 medals each time. This year we won 9 gold medals and 37 total. The last three Olympics we've really stepped up our game.
But another world power did not. This year, one country with 61.5 million people won only one medal, though it was gold. It was such a surprise to me and probably to you, that I can even tell you the even they won: women's Skeleton. Of course you don't know the country because no one saw the women's Skeleton races.
This country's GDP was $2.7 trillion. They are a nuclear power for goodness sake and they only managed one medal in the Olympics!! They are a G-7 member and won only one medal. For God sake, put forth an effort Britain. You're embarrassing the other world powers.

that is also the first gold an individual from Britain has won in winter olymics in something like 30 years..
Ya back off the Brits you bully.
I think those Brits are just too laid back. Not a bad quality, but not really conducive to Olympic competition.
