A lot of Ute logic in this thread. Normally the US is competitive in the winter

Dynasty1 Walk-on

Olympics and Americans take pride in it and follow the Olympics. This year we’re getting trounced by a country 1/67 our size. Now we’re all like “we don’t care about winter sports anyway”.

For a country with the population and financial/natural resources of the US, this Olympic showing is embarrassing.

Our best athletes don't grow up doing winter sports.

A country with a population of 5 million (Norway) is piling medals up at a 3:1 pace to the US. That's a poor excuse.

I'm pretty sure they're born with skis already strapped onto their feet

They’re just little baby skis.

Norway doesn't care about NFL, NBA, MLB, College athletics... No summer Olympics

You mean like soccer? Winter sports is a way of life for other countries.

Utahns cleaned up in the 2014 Olympics. But you’re right that it’s mainly in

I doubt its a Sunday thing. Go to any youth sporting competition on a Sunday in Utah, and active Mormons...

Yeah, this independence stinks. We should join the Commonwealth.

No one cares about a Winter Olympics with no NHL players.

Signed, the 1980 miracle on ice.

The world was a lot different then, and NHL players had never been used

Exception. Not rule. These players are old. Miracle team was young

The other countries want it more

No uniform plan or sponsorship, unlike Canada or Norway.

Is anyone even watching them? Ratings any good? I haven't watched anything but

Kerbouchard

I've watched a few events but with the US doing so poorly

At midpoint, the least optimistic projection was 15 medals

Archaea

2/19/18 8:11am

It could be worse. We had 6 total medals in 1988.

Real Men Wear Blue

True, and fewer sports to medal in.

Archaea

2/19/18 9:47am

1988 Olympics were the Summer Olympics in South Korea. Are you sure we only had

Back then, summer and winter were the same year. Changed in '94
