Sochi 2014

Yeah but they always have snow in those countries. They get that many medals in the summer olympics I would be more impressed.

Norway have approx 150 medals to great britains 780. Based on population this gives norway a medal for approx every 34,000 people and Great Britain 82,000.

So norway are one of the most successful summer olympic countries per capita.

Just realised Friday could be GB's last curling medal......... the whole team are Jocks.

The women team have become the youngest team to win a medal so we have 4 medals so far(including the gold or silver tomorrow)!

Did anyone see that ski-cross quarter final where 3 of them fell over just before the line and the last guy came across first? The guy in second stretched out with his hands to cross the line first. Comical!

As if there isn't enough pressure on both sides already!

At the moment I'd call it Finland and USA. Sweden have probably had the easiest route to the semis so far. Finland looked good against Canada and bar the first eight minutes or so were far better than Russia (although Russia have been pretty crap for large parts of the tournament.) Canada struggled a bit against Latvia, Crosby hasn't really turned up and their two leading scorers are defencemen. USA look as if they're playing without any pressure on them. Having said that, both semis could go either way.

Sweden will have ya in the next round

Remains to be seen. Also enjoyed gold in mens team sprint, stumbling German was icing on the cake.

Nevermind eh mate

Lol? What's your point? One person doesn't represent a nation. Last time I looked Germany had the joint second most golds!
