Olympic Gold, Part 2

The Winter Olympics are over and here's the results using my MTMS system:

Germany, 63 points
USA, 52 points
Canada, 48 points
Austria, 48 points
Russia, 44 points
Norway, 31 points

Norway jumps from 13th place to 6th under my point system and Canada jumps from 5th to a tie for 3rd.

The top group of nations stayed the same as 2002 but the USA and Germany were a little less dominant, taking seven and nine fewer medals respectively. Norway dropped off by taking far fewer gold medals than in past Olympics. Take that Norway!

As for medal-less skier Bode Miller, Steven Wright said it best:

• If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
• If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
• For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
• The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
• Half the people you know are below average.
• It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
• The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
  

Ok, not all of those have anything to do with Bode, but they made me laugh.

See you at Vancouver, 2010, ay.
