Finally we win some medals!

Gold in wrestling, silver in rowing. Still, why do we do so poorly every summer olympics?

1. Whoo hoo! Go Canada!

Given the lack of funding, which probably answers your question about why we do so poorly, they really earned those medals. Good for them.

7. I have heard that the U.S recieves NO funding

Not sure if that's true or not.

2. We tend to focus on the sports that encompass the Winter Olympics

as opposed to the summer one. It could simply be our northern climate is more conducive to that.

3. Obviously

Something is different.

5. I blame Harper for not going to China and cheering our athletes on

Just kidding (mostly).

6. I guess China doesn't own as much of Canada as they do the US!

There is no frigging way bush would have been there, imo, if China, along with Japan and the Saudis,didn't "own" the US via their purchase of the "paper" needed to service the humongous debt.

I wonder why harper didn't go, was there any reason given? Not that I care whether he went or not, just curious given his best bud and idol was there.
