So is anyone here following the winter games?
Norway on top of the medal count so far...

Never really been an Olympics viewer, but I do prefer the winter games over the summer ones.
With Lindsey Vonn, sadly, out of the competition, I'm not as much interested in the skiing this time around. I may still catch some of it, and snowboarding, here and there, but probably not very much.
Only other thing I'm really interested in is hockey, but I don't know how many of the games I'll be able to watch. Would love to see Team USA get the gold this year, since they so deserved it four years ago.

Of course. Mostly the ski events, though. I have close to zero interest in the sports that interest most of the people on this board, like hockey and figure skating.
Disappointing day today, however, which means that other nations have passed us on the medal list. Let's hope we'll get back on top soon.
Norway on top again now, 4 gold, 3 silver, 4 bronze.
For me, any sport where Norway have chance of a medal, is interesting. But I guess hockey and figure skating are not among those... :-D

True. I've always found both of those rather boring, and not only because Norway sucks a them.
We're back on top for now, but I'm dreading Canada. They're always very strong, and have medal candidates in far more events than Norway. Of course, the Netherlands is also a contender since they basically take every single medal in all the skating events!

Germany in the lead with 7 gold now, with Switzerland (!) as number two with 6 gold. Norway still having their 4 gold...

Norway has had a couple of DISASTROUS days now, and the chance of becoming the best nation is now practically nill. Something has gone wrong for our favourites in the preparations for the Olympics. Extremely disappointing.
You may be right about the preparations thing, but on the other hand I think it's good that this is not a Norwegian national championship. The really disastrous thing for the games had been if Norway (or another country) was taking too many medals home.
