Winter Olympics 2014

Feb 17 6:06 PM. The Netherlands are ahead of the Americans in medal count since they both have 20 medals, but the Netherlands have the same amount of golds and two more silvers. This happened just as the Netherlands won all three medals in the 10,000m which shows a lot of performance in the sport. The bronze medalist was 22 seconds behind the gold and 18 seconds behind the silver, which is staggering. This Olympics are really close this year, and most of the medals obtained by a country, especially the smaller ones, are in a specific sport with multiple distances. It is hard to predict who will win these olympics, especially if the conditions are as random as they are on the mountains. Pressure builds for the athletes, but that is their job and hopefully I will watch the best man win each time.
