Back to Olympics - I bet people in Germany are closely watching the race for the best Olympics country medal record between Germany and Norway. Who has the likely edge based on remaining disciplines?
I don't think it's that big of a deal to most people, tbh. That said, I expect Norway to "win" ... which, I think, was to be expected, too. Four years ago they were 2nd behind Russia, so in other words they were first.

That's pretty low rent. Wasn't there another hockey player that threw a silver medal into the crowd once?

I get it, you lost. Have some respect for the time and place. Don't be a shtbag.
OK, I'll swim against the current. She did not throw in in the crowd. She did not throw it on the ground. She did not yell any disparaging comments. She simply politely took off a medal, which - at that time - represented a huge disappointment for her. I don't see it as a sign of disrespect toward the US or humanity. Nothing wrong with that in my book...

23 total Winter Olympics, and this country just won its FIRST gold medal, ever
Hungary - and likely mainly because two out of 4 short-track relay members are named Shaolin Sandor Liu and Shaoang Liu. They are brother who are half-Chinese and spent 1.5 years training in China, which they both credit as the chief reason for their success.

BTW, this medal is Hungary's first since... 1980 Lake Placid!
