in other news, the rest of the world will probably continue to only look at the gold medal leaderboard, since we very likely wont beat Canada in that category. On the other hand, we absolutely dominated in silver and bronze, for whatever thats worth.

IMO, it's more telling of your country's athletes that you can place more people in the top 3 than simply having the highest number of 1st place finishers.
