you're counting the losers?
lets take a closer look at what you're saying.....
lets take a scenario to get a better grasp at counting losers.

the olympics are finished.
Australia has 30 golds 0 silver 0 bronze
Austria has 0 golds 0 silver 31 bronze

by your posting, Austria wins the olympics...lol
count the winners first dude

1)Canada 13
2)Germany 10

It's all fixed anyway, right?

lolz @ jinx

or we could do it like hockey and assign
one point for bronze
2 points for silver and 3 points for gold
then tally them all up . . . or not.

huh?

That was an example, the clue is the Olympics are NOT over.

its more like 5 for gold. 2 for silver, i for bronze.
there's no conselation prize in other sports...
world series, superbowl, stanley cup.
the losers were just not good enough....they weren't the best.

looks like you excel in coming second ;)

..always a good thing imo

These are also not professional sports and the competitors are representing their countries instead of some uber-rich company or corporation.

I think winning any medal is pretty exceptional. I think calling any of these athletes losers says a lot about you whip.

yup

in a gold medal match, there is a winner, and there is a loser.
the winner gets the gold, the loser gets the silver.
its not my opinion, its a fact.

All of the athletes are giving their best and their efforts are rewarded and celebrated. How dismal the games would be if only gold medals were given.

If the silver medal winners are losers then the bronze medal is redundant. What is that? The runner up loser? oh and here's a cash prize too for losing so badly. ( sarcasm )

I have a very good friend in Canada. I am happy to see his home pride. The kind of person he is makes me happy for him to see his gloaty face.

I just made the gross over generalization thinking all Canadians must be uber cool. damn whip

And I meant it, because they have put the whole country's heart and soul into being a first class host. They deserve our appreciation for their adherence to the Olympic spirit.

For WHIP, sports is a business... it's all about the gold.

Right on, they did a great job.

well said :)
