We usually finish in the top 3 or 4. Cold-weather countries generally do well, because, well, it's not like they have anything else going on.

2014 (in Russia):



2010 (in Canada):

Also when you take into account that the U.S. and Canada are essentially the same thing, we're #1 by a wide margin

I was going to make a long post with real answer but this is good enough
Well done, thanks for saving me some time

Agreed
If England, Scotland, Wales and northern Ireland all compete as GB, I don't see why Canada and USA can't compete as North America (fuck Mexico)

I will absolutely hate USA tonight at 10:30 for about 2.5 hours and then we'll be good again....... unless you guys win

did u watch Icarus?
That's what makes this year so sad for the USA
one of the best countries basically isn't even there

But as mcnugget said, you guys are historically solid at the winter Olympics, just not as dominate as the summer games

Women's ice hockey, right? You guys have dominated the past 3 Olympics but we've won the world championships for 3 straight years?

USA cheats like a mofo also

I think we would be very surprised at how some of these events are loaded with cheating.

sidetone those skater chicks last nights were smoking hot

It's not just the us
I fucking hate judged events where the judges do not have to release breakdowns of their scoring
There are way too many sports at the Olympics that can easily be rigged and I've always found it interesting the IOC does nothing to fix it

NBC's terrible Olympics get worse in week two | Daily Mail Online

Downhill dive: NBC's terrible Olympics get worse in week two as marquee names flee, ratings sink and anchors struggle to find anything good to cover in the wake of school massacre

The 2018 Winter Olympics have produced few medal winners from Team USA and provided little must-see TV for broadcaster NBC

On Monday, NBC learned that Mikaela Shiffrin was withdrawing from downhill and figure skater Adam Rippon turned down a correspondent offer

This comes after Shiffrin placed fourth in the slalom last week just minutes before figure skater Nathan Chen fell during his disastrous short program

A weather delay meant her lone gold happened outside of prime time

NBC is also without its two veteran anchors this year, Matt Lauer on Today and Bob Costas of NBC Sports

This means Al Roker has been paired with Craig Melvin for awkward buddy segments in South Korea while Mike Tirico is in for Costas at NBC Sports

Television ratings have been down double digits from the Sochi Games and on Saturday hit a low of 13.62 million viewers
