So far Norway is kicking the worlds butt. 7 total medals.

Canada, USA, Russia and the Netherlands are all tied for 2nd place with 4 medals each.

You're still upset that the USA took home more medals in Vancover then Canada did.

Silver seem to have greater value than bronze in the rankings. That's nothing new though.

With nine times our population, I would expect something like that.

Yeah, yeah ... lots more orange. Skating will be over, soon.

How are the Netherlands hockey teams?
Now, the Norwegians are good at everything EXCEPT hockey.

The Olympics doesn't officially 'rank' teams, but they list medal standings by # of Gold. So a team with 1 Gold medal is listed higher than a team with 100 silver and bronze. If temas have the same # of Gold, then the one with the most silver is listed first, etc. Canada was #1 on the list in 2010 because we had the most gold, even though 2 other nations had higher overall medal counts.

The US often ranks by total medal count, but since they usally field a very large team so it's usually favourable for them list by total medal count.
