(because I think that is actually their largest land animal, or maybe some cattle, it’s not an easy answer to find)
I woke up this morning after falling asleep watching ice skating (sorry Adam Rippon, have to watch you on replay) to check the medal count and this is what I saw:
Something seems to be missing right? I had to scroll a bit to find it.
We haven’t won a medal for a couple days and are currently sitting in 8th. The positive side is that we’ve got 5 golds (4th highest count there). And everyone was saying that Germany and Norway were going to be able to add the most medals to their overall count because of the Russian ban and it would most likely be the US and Canada battling it out for third.
But I think we’ve overall taken a bit of a turn and are in a bit of trouble. We’ve seen some big names not medal in the past two days that many people thought were given. There have also been some events in speed skating, skeleton and skiing where a US athlete has done well at international competitions this year and there was hope they could pull off a miracle. But none of these things have been happening.
Looking at the events over the next two days I’m not exactly sure what our chances of turning things around a bit are but let’s all throw some good vibes over to Pyeongchang and see if we can’t move back higher up the medal count. And also push all the little ones in our life to get really good at cross country skiing and speed skating. You might think that football or basketball is the sport to find the fame, money and booty but have you heard about the skiathlon?
