Re: Great start in the Olympics

Well, considering there are about 4 million Norwegians I'd say it's not bad.

But why not consider the winter olympics:

Code:
Position/Country/Gold/Silver/Bronze/Total
1	Norway	98	98	84	280
2	United States	78	80	58	216

What's your favorite winter event to watch? I really like curling. No one else seems to understand why.

For that matter, what are people's favorite summer events?

Re: Great start in the Olympics

Ski jumping and biathlon rank top on my list.

Edit: Curling is fun, too. But I only care to watch it if Norway is playing.

Yeah, what is it with curling? I can (and do) sit for hours and watch - I have no idea why It's basically the only winter category I follow

Thumbs up Re: Great start in the Olympics

I love the games! In Summer sports, I'm partial to the diving as I competed a bit when I was young and limber. I'm terrified to see someone hit a board or platform though! I can't look!! I must look!! Don't look!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all the smog & protest issues don't spoil the fun. Let the games begin.

Edit: Opening ceremony starts at 8:08pm local time, which means about 30 more minutes!

Re: Great start in the Olympics

I love Javelin (Norway currently has the Olympic Champion and he is a gold candidate again in Beijing) and the high jump.
