Kim Yu-Na's a beast. She broke the world record by a good 18 points.
Just curious what you guys think, but with the games in Vancouver, those Vancouver people are talking about their goal to win the most medals. However, the "Official" Olympic medal count (according to Wiki) looks at gold only, with silver as a tiebreaker, and bronze as a tiebreaker beyond that.
However, I wonder why the organizers see it as a race for total medals, as they made an announcement half a week ago about the impossibility of catching the US but hopefully catching Germany.
Which is the "correct" medal counting format? If it is indeed simply just golds, then Canada is tied with the US/Germany there already, and simply need to win more gold medals (It'll be hard to catch Germany/US in total medals, as after all, Germany is still 7 ahead). With all that in mind, I like Canada's chances, as they're favorites for at least 3 more gold medals (Men/Women's curling, Men's hockey), least that's the way I see it.
Thoughts?
