As far as medals go, at this point, has your country exceeded, met, or failed to meet your expectations?

Question

Also, what country are you from? If you feel like it, elaborate on your answer as to what has impressed you, what has disappointed you.

Answer 1

Canada is on the pace I thought we would be. A couple of disappointments like Charles Hamelin and Dominique Maltais but other athletes rising to the occasion like Alexandre Bilodeau, Maelle Ricker and Mike Robertson.

Answer 2

My enjoyment of watching the Olympics really does not come from the medal count of my nation or that of any other.



Honestly, I watch it for the competition.



I would much rather see some nobody beat out the favorite, even if that favorite is from my country.



That is why I am looking forward to the Men's Ice Skating tomorrow. That kid from Japan has a great chance of knocking off the two favorites.



That is what the Olympics are about to me.



I am a Native Californian, we are a Nation all to our own, or at least many of us Natives wish we were.

Answer 3

With the exception of Hamelin failing to medal in the mens 1500 short track, Canada has done what they were expected as far as medal count goes.

Answer 4

I'm from Canada and Canada is doing great. I'm happy with the athletes. I feel bad for some though because there were a few who had a lot of pressure on them to get medals, and they didn't like Manual Osborne-Paradis and Erik Guay and Dominique Maltais, but overall all our atheltes are doing great. I'm happy for them!
