Well, Canada now has as many medals as Michael Phelps! It's been a good weekend and it looks as though we're in line for some more. I've also been hearing a number of athletes say that they will be disappointed if they don't win a medal. That's more like it! I still stand by my more funding rant though. China had a plan after the Sydney Olympics to increase their medal count. They went about it by looking at the sports where there were the highest possible number of medals available and then concentrating on those sports. Seems to be working well so far, China currently has 67 medals, 39 of those are gold. They don't have the medal count of the U.S., but they have way more gold and if that's measuring stick, they've succeeded.
Yes, China is waaaaayyy bigger than Canada and should win more medals, however Canada is still a long way back of Australia.
Keep up the fight Canadian athletes! Get out your cheque book Canadian governments!
