Britain won a gold medal in curling back in 2002 and that was enough to start a craze. After all, Britain rarely has much success in the Winter Olympics because the Summer Olympics has a disproportionate amount of attention from British sportspeople and sponsors.

Don't be too sure about women's hockey. In our first game, we beat China 12-1.  ;)

I wasn't guaranteeing a gold for Canada, but it will be at least silver.

Wow - two more golds for Switzerland (Downhill and Cross-Country 15k Mens).  Not bad for a puny little country - even one filled with mountains.

Great gold for Canada in Freestyle skiing...looks like the Quebec Air Force is at it again!

The women's game is slower, and the Canada games are very uninteresting unless playing USA, Finland or maybe Sweden.

I'll watch those ones, but not the other ones.  All the men's games will be competitive.  It's not uncommon for the teams without NHL players to beat teams made entirely of NHL players.

The Scandinavian men's hockey teams are fantastic.  Outside of Finland, the women aren't so impressive yet.

We try to get some medals in ski and ski jumping but the silver medal was great surprise because it came in sport that was not so expected. How big bet rate is for Canada's ice hockey gold?
