National pride is a big thing of course at the Olympics. there are going to be thrills of victories and agonies of defeats. Sadly usually the joy of one nation is at the cost of another.
The defeat of the Germans in pairs skating was devastating worse they slipped not only out of gold but silver being upset by a Russian team for silver.
USA is fairing quite well despite some disappointment in the x sports and slopes. They look good in both men and women's hockey and have a fair chance for Oly medal in ladies skating the premier event after men's hockey. They also won dance gold although amid some controversy. they have had their disappointments Shani, the flying tomato, but all in all are looking good.
Netherlands seems to be dominating in speedskating; Canada seems to be struggilng compared to 2010 especially in the track events luge, skeleton and bobsled. Their figure skating team has lost all four battles where they hoped to contend for a certain medal. (they ended up on the losing end - Men, team and dance gold and pairs bronze. Zero for four and with the disappointment of the bobsled teams today really it hasn't been a great olympics for them.
Good to see Jamaica back in the olympics.
