Did You Watch the Olympics? Medal Count For Winter Olympics

Did You Watch the Winter Games?

March 1, 2010

As soon as the closing ceremony for the Vancouver games started, so did my Winter Olympic withdrawals. From the women's downhill to men's figure skating, this year's games did not disappoint. For those of you that may have missed the final count, here's the top six medal winners by nation.

	Gold	Silver	Bronze	Total
United States	9	15	13	37
Germany	10	13	7	30
Canada	14	7	5	26
Norway	9	8	6	23
Austria	4	6	6	16
Russia	3	5	7	15

Although I got a bunch of my Olympic news and results in real time from Twitter, I spent more than a few nights glued to my set. How about you . . .

I am definitely experiencing withdrawals! I got really into speed skating, skiing, & ice skating especially. Hate that it will be 2014 before any of those get major recognition again...

I live in Vancouver, so I got to experience a lot of the Olympic spirit first hand, and was amongst the crowds downtown while we celebrated Canada's hockey gold. What I didn't experience live, was experienced by being glued to our TV, which was not taken off a channel broadcasting Olympic events, for the entire two weeks. It was an unbelievable one time experience and I am definitely going through major Olympics withdrawal.

I was glued to Eurosport every free moment I had watching the Olympics, but the fun doesn't stop there- now it's the conclusion of the FIS World Cup in Germany, and to be honest I need a little break because tennis will be starting again soon, not to mention the Football World Cup...2010 is going to be, much like 2008, a year of sports!

Such bad withdrawal. I have never been particularly interested in the Olympics at all. It was always only okay. But I'm Canadian (living in Vancouver!) and these games took place here and it was (don't laugh) life-changing. The patriotism, I never realised how much I love where I live, and the golds and world record thing ain't bad! I hope the world knows who we are after this :)

So close USA so close..... damn. i just love watching the games winter and summer. the talent, the skill, the freaking athleticism. yes, i am a fan of the Olympics.

I watched some of the women's downhill skiing over Valentine's weekend, but that's all I saw, and it was only because I was hanging out with someone who wanted to watch them, lol. I just have no interest at all in the Olympics--summer OR winter. *shrug* But I am SO happy that we're getting some shows back this week!!! Especially THE OFFICE on Thursday! OMG!

I think my name clearly says how much time I have invested into watching the 2010 Olympics. I am experiencing withdrawal, and it's painful. I believe that the reason why I've been so into these games is because I am Canadian. I felt the highs and lows of every brilliant win and every heartwrenching loss. I don't think I'll ever feel as tied to any other Olympic games as I have this February.
