China took us to the wire at the Summer Games in Paris, but they haven’t won a single gold medal in Milan. Don’t they have some snowy places to train at? Norway leads the pack followed by Italy and USA. Is anyone watching? I guess I’ll watch hockey if USA reaches the quarters.

^^I was pointing out that China has been much less competitive so far in this year's Winter Games than they were in the most recent Summer Games. Do you have any insight as to why that is?

2/12/2026 3:00:34 PM

No, but since they had the olympics there 4 years ago, I assume they have plenty of places to train.

2/12/2026 3:18:24 PM

hosts always over preform

2/12/2026 3:56:47 PM

Norway will fall off after this week

over the 24 years Norway leads the medal count, Germany, USA, Canada.

Norway has a lot of snooooooow

We are totally blowing this Olympics

2/13/2026 5:17:56 PM

I dunno, curling is having a good run so far

2/13/2026 6:52:18 PM

You do know the US isn't historically the best at the winter Olympics, right? We have the second most medals in total, and are currently 3rd in medals in this Olympics. Behind only Norway, who is far and away the greatest winter olympic program, and the host country Italy. US will still probably end up second. So yeah they aren't "blowing it"

Yes, half of the Himalayas.

The Winter Olympics I guess doesn't have as many events requiring no athletic ability that China can game to bump their medal counts.

It’s being facetious, we’ve had a few favorites choke.

And yes a know about Norway, see several post up.

2/19/2026 4:03:19 PM

I wanted Canada to win. Sorry, Bolt. Especially because I assume you actually care about hockey.

2/19/2026 7:10:26 PM

I, too, actually care about hockey

2/19/2026 9:23:39 PM

I know, but you aren't Canadian.

2/20/2026 5:35:28 AM

I have a bad memory when it comes to such things, but I think this has been (and may continue to be) one of the best Winter Games performance for the US in a long time. A few high profile notable deficits like an abysmal men's alpine skiing team but overall its a good showing.

2/20/2026 11:07:50 AM

US now has 10 gold medals, which ties 2002 for the most in any winter olympics.

2/20/2026 3:04:00 PM

I put my name in the ticket lottery for LA 2028 today. You can do that until March 18. It says 1/3 of the tickets will be under $100. Some are as low as $28.

2/20/2026 9:50:46 PM

Tickets are cheap because a nuclear Armageddon will likely wipe out humanity by then.

2/20/2026 10:56:28 PM

^It's more like people don't want to pay large amounts of money to watch most of these sports. I'm guessing some events like track and swimming will have more expensive tickets. At least they aren't charging over $1k for single game tickets like the World Cup. I didn't even bother with the FIFA lottery.
