I just heard on the radio, GB won a gold medal! Woohoo! Go GB! :P

Actually, the NHL is North American (US and Canada) with more than half of all the players being Canadian.

edit: realized this sounded a bit cocky, but I love hockey and don't mind that we're pretty good at it. We do suck at football - only the Euro kind though. :P

food for thought, since the male hockey players came from the US national Hockey league, actually the us won all the hockey medals, hehe

Hmmm, thought you'd catch that, bazzman. You gave Norway 23 points for their 6 bronze - hence the calculator comment. :P Not sure I agree entirely with wayne's comment - national pride plays a big part in international events, just ask any Canadian or American watching the gold medal hockey game. And ahhh, Canada rules!!


:ashamed: oops. I looked at Kylumis total figure at the end, instead of the figure before. I knew I should have double checked my sums before posting :P

Well said my fellow Brit... but then we don't win anything, so it's an excellent attitude! lol

Did you use a calculator bazz? :)

Wouldn't it make sense to work it out at the medals value? i.e gold = 3 points, silver = 2 points, bronze = 1 point.

United States 9 15 13 27+30+13=70
Germany 10 13 7 30+26+7=63
Canada 14 7 5 42+14+5=61
Norway 9 8 6 27+16+23=66
Austria 4 6 6 12+12+6=30

This would still put the US on top, but would also put Germany in 3rd instead of 2nd, Canada in 4th instead of 3rd and Norway in 2nd instead of 4th.
