for the first time in Olympic history, Canada has finished atop the medal standings with 14 gold medals. Germany next with 10, followed by Norway and the USA with 9 apiece.We may not own all of the podium. Just the top step.
Canada has set a record for most golds won at an Winter Olympics. Breaking the record (13) held by Norway and the Soviet Union. (remember them?)
Canada also broke the record of golds by a host nation.
That sound you may have heard was 28 million people puffing out their chests with pride.
Now bring on the beer and cigars...

Not so fast there Canuck. A country to the south actually finished atop the medal standings. You won more gold, but that's not the same. And, and the USA broke the record for most medals.
WV: Hesse, The Russian ice skater had a full blown hesse about winning silver.
Judith Hesse was a German speedskater in the Olympics this year. The word verifications are getting freaky.
Nice job by Canada, even if half the sports seem made up so northern counties have a shot at winning medals.
"countries," I mean.
God, I'm not an editor or anything.
Just be glad the US doesn't have an Olympic program like the Chinese....
Congrats to the Canadians for being great hosts!
