canada beats gold record per games
 

Most ever golds in a winter games was 13, most for host country was 10.

14 golds for .ca

:thumbsup

congrats, but the games sucked

So did your mom, but I didn't hear anyone complaining.

do you feel older now? or more pimp?

Why complain? She sucked pretty good. Even swallowed.

They are very far from USSR team who got 13 gold medals from 37 total in 1976 Winter Olympic Games.

But now Canada got 14 gold medals from 86 total.

Amazing time... apparently the crowds beat the past 3 olympics combined :)

The US-Canada hockey final - what a game!

It was fixed.

:2 cents:

Congrats to Canada.

congrats to Canada for that :) Pretty amazing with 14 gold medals! We got 23 medals and I'm pretty happy with that. Small country with only 4.5 mill people.

From chokers to champs! Well done Canada!

Congrats to them...

Kool.. Any one got a break down on the numbers?

I didn't enjoy these games much. Some of the events weren't organized well and some were tragic...

I thought this one rocked - good new stars, Northug, Virtue, Lysacek, and that ass Miller came back humbler and better.

Norway has won more Winter Games medals than any other nation. Last week it became the first country to win 100 Olympic gold medals, and Tuesday it hit the 300-medal milestone (the U.S. is second on the all-time list with dozens fewer.)

What makes its performance hard to fathom, however, is that Norway has only 4.7 million people to choose from. It's as if the American team finished third in Vancouver after limiting the athlete pool to people living in metropolitan Detroit.

you guys always tear shit up at the winters, hitting way above your weight. i like to remind my canadian friends of this when they get all cocky about our own haul.

congrats to Canada. And that hockey game was a great way to end the games.

Couldn't write a better ending.

Congrats to Canada..the games were awesome.

i dont watch skating

That's pretty outstanding :) Cue the haters saying its rigged.

14 gold, pretty awesome (and the most ever gold in a single games). all this talk of population, the US has over 300 million people, we have around 30 million.

fun games overall. canada deserves some credit for finishing solid after a shaky start.

Great job!

Yep, Canada for sure rocked these games, and our 14 gold medal record could very well last a long long time (since it took some 80+ years before it was set), but NORWAY is the overall all-time kings of the winter games for sure. They definitely always bring their A game in nearly every event.

But we Canadians are the GODS of hockey. Make no mistake about that.

yes, we haven't turned up our soviet Olympic program thus far..

wasn't the olympic winter games only really hosted in the scandinavian countries for most of the life of the winter olympics? i was looking at the roster of the 50s olympics.. only swedish, finnish, and Norwegian..

the biggest true

True but, how many of those 30 million live in areas with no snow?

Norway did very well. good showing!

On a side note, we should really be throwing props to the ones who really pulled through for us this. Our ladies! Seriously, our Canadian girls fucking cleaned up. Big big big props to the women's hockey team too, winning Olympic gold really is the top of the game for women right now, so that's a HUGE win. Men's gold we absolutely have to win, but really, after it's all said and done no one cares anymore, the Stanley Cup is coming!

That was a good run, congrats on the golds. The first week was looking pretty grim for Canada's golds, but they pulled it out.

I saw on the news that the Russian pres. is calling for some firings because they won so few golds! yikes!

They really dropped down in the standings that's for sure. I have no doubt that Russia is going to go nuts with their athletic programs over the next 4 years and come out swinging hard at the games in Sochi. They as the host nation will really be wanting to "own the podium", so everyone who's thinking of competing there, watch out. Russian bear is awakening, and he is pissed.

congrats, at home always easier ;)

That's great. Go Canada.

Hey, it's only your second post. Good luck, Enjoy Bucks. :thumbsup

Congrats to the winners!

That was the best Games I remember. Even better than Calgary :)

give it up...some dumb ass country sends a guy who had no business on an olympic caliber track and its the fault of the hosts some how.

NEWS FLASH!
sliding down a sheet of ice at 100mph is dangerous...what was so "un-organized" that you couldn't enjoy?

half the events are indoors...no excuses for the fat lazy country with over 300 million people
