Hey! For anyone looking to discuss the 2022 Olympics, here's a thread to do it!

Russia

USA, Russia, Canada and China are probably the 4 best options to win the most medals

Edit: Apparently in 2018, Norway had the most followed by Germany then Canada ( only countries to get double digit golds too )

I was shocked to read Norway had the most, I remember canada finished third, but I didn't remember Germany and Norway finishing 1-2

I got my money on either Canada or Russia, though China might take it because it seems like the host nation always has a little more pep in their step

For medal amounts, are we talking simply hockey or all medals?

Either or, but the poll is aimed at all medals, since hockey only awards 6 medals

ah ok, then My bet is on either the Russians or the US

If you gamble at all the preliminary rounds for hockey are easy money. I know Bodog has the games and odds, well worth the investment

Norway dominates skiing man, there’s nothing in life more guaranteed than the Dutch winning speed skating and the Norwegians winning biathlon/cross-country skiing lmao, and there are SO MANY cross-country skiing events. I voted for Canada because I’m a homer, but realistically it’s gonna be Norway at the top of the table again and it probably won’t be close lol

Its true, they clean house in skiing, i just never realized how many medals they give out for skiing. Thats what shocked me

I'm going with the Germans, they always are on Canada's and everyone else's @ss. They'll dominate the sports like luge and others that are similar. Close second Canada and don't count out Norway, since they dominated in 2018. States also aren't a bad choice since they usually finish top 5.

My dark horse would be the Netherlands.

Canada is the first answer that comes to mind.

Norway and Netherlands are possibilities as well.

Yeah there are a ton, it’s like running in the summer, there are a bunch of distances, and Norway is fully capable of sweeping the podium (like Canada will do well in hockey, but that’s just one medal in the women’s and maybe a second medal in the men’s if we’re lucky, Norway will beat that in one biathlon event lol).

The Dutch are obsessed with speed skating

Good hockey on right now

who's playing?

Honest I forgot the olympics were on…

same. Most info i've gotten is the 3-5 minute olympic roundup I get in my German class.

Germany Canada
USA China
