Even better is that Slovakia and Belarus have both won their first Gold medals ever!

I'd love to see Slovakia win the bronze medal in hockey. They have a very competitive team this year and Halak has been phenomenal.

Thank you Macdonalds for making it happen! RBC, Coca Cola, you had our backs the whole time!

Were number one in the medal count as it officially goes by gold medals won.

The USA used to count it that way when they and USSR were competing and finishing near the top then the US and Canada like a good sheep followed suit and started counting by total medals but the rest of the world and IOC count the winner as most golds not the consolation medals unless countries are tied then it goes to most Silver..

Great, we spent a lot of money on it. Now can we reopen Parliament? We have a CRTC to dissolve, and jobs to create.
