Olympic medal count.

With today's combined bobsled gold medal, the US has tied the all-time record of 36 medals (Germany, Salt Lake City 2002), and since we know US Men's Hockey plays tomorrow for the gold/silver, the US is guaranteed to break Germany's record. BUT, the US dropped off on the gold medal collection, and can do no better than tie for second place, which in the rest of the world, apparently they only count gold medals to determine who performed best at the Olympics. In this regard, Canada's push to 'own the podium' push has succeeded very well, garnering 13 gold medals. And even if they only get a total of 26 medals, it's still a huge bump up for Canada. I think Canada did well for themselves. It looks like Norway is the biggest loser, so to speak.
