The competition between Germany and Norway or USA and Austria has become tightened because of trying to collect more medals from the sports. With 9 days left, every country needs to try hard to win every game. I expected to see another surprise from Austria, USA or even Netherlands.

While Germany still leads the position. But Austria now has totals 14 medals.

Norway and Germany both have 6 medals but norway total medals are 14. I am not betting on winter Olympics since I dont know much about these winter sports but I really liked watching them. Meanwhile, Switzerland Lara Gut-Behrami became the first ever women of her country to win a gold in women’s Alpine skiing Super-G. (source).

But their Gold and Silver are more than Norway. On the list, you can see that Germany has 7 Gold and 4 Silver while Norway only has 6 Gold and 3 Silver. But Norway gets 5 Bronze while Germany does not have it. But still, Germany's position in Gold is better than Norway's, so it is no surprise if Germany takes the first position. While the Netherlands and Sweden have the same Gold amounts, we can wait if the Netherlands can defend its position at the number 3 or replace other countries.

It is rather strange that there is still no final court decision regarding the medals and punishment of Valieva. Given that this is her first sin, she will most likely get off with a disqualification for several months. As for the distribution of medals, in my opinion, the longer the decision is delayed, the more difficult it will be to change the results later. It looks like the US will stay with silver Grin

Yeah, this story looks isn't easy to make decision because Valieva is younger than 16 years and rules is a bit different for them.

I think it's not about age, but about the fact that the decision regarding the individual athlete can affect the result of the team competition.
As for the punishment, I read about similar cases, and for those who got caught for the first time, the most severe was 2 years, and the usual punishment was several months of disqualification.

This is not surprising at all, if you see medal tally of PyeongChang 2018 South Korean then Norway and Germany were at no 1 and 2 position with 14 Gold medals each while USA and Canada were at no 3 and 4 respectively. USA which was very down in initial days is now at no 4 position with 4 Gold medals. There are 10 days still left, may be in coming days Canada also jump up.

But still, that surprises me as in Olympic 2018, that is final result while this Olympic, every country have at least 9 days to get more medals. If they can be winners in many sports, of course, they will get the medals. Otherwise, their position will replace by another country.

Is there some sort of running involved in these Winter Olympics? One of my coworkers was telling me that they turned on the TV the other day and there was some sort of race, but I’ve always been under the impression that that’s all summer Olympics stuff ? Anyways on a side note hard for me to support these games in any way being that China is hosting.

Most likely, your coworker was telling you about cross-country skiing. This is a very popular Nordic skiing discipline and one of the original Winter Olympic sports. The sport is sometimes referred to as "ski running" or "ski marathon" depending on the country's language.

Your friend probably confused something. There is no running events in Winter Games. Events which is most close to running is skating and skiing.

Muddy history. She has not yet been suspended and there is no final decision on her case, judging by the fact that she returned to training, it is likely that the violation will not be recognized as "completed". I heard that the US team is most outraged about this situation, since in the event of the disqualification of the Russian team, the gold will go to them.

I'm not surprised that the Americans are most outraged, they won silver in the event! Cheesy

As I see it, the issue here is that a young Russian figure skater, Valieva, was tested for doping well before the Olympics officially started (actually several weeks ago). This raises questions about why her results were not available to the public until after the Russians won their gold medal on Monday.

It is somewhat surprising that Germany is now at the top of the medal table. I expect America, Russia, China and possibly South Korea too high. The last one I'm not quite sure. We have only just started playing, most sports are on the ice now such as skating and short track. I personally like the summer games a bit more. But, its good to see that this Olympics were not cancelled.

Yes, in one day Germany went from 3 gold medals to 5 medals. Amazing, I wasn't expecting it. But we still have a lot of games ahead and there may be more changes in the medal table.

An interesting point is also the fact that the US finally appears in the Top 10. I don't know if it's because of the pandemic or because the games are in China, this year things don't seem to be going very well in the US.

Germany always have been pretty strong in the winter olympics. Back in the olympic games of 2018 they were also on the second place after the end of the games. So it's not really that surprising that they are doing pretty well so far again, even though they probably won't win any medals in the ice skating competitions again this year, which is a sport where Germany always won a lot of medals in the past, but somehow they don't have real world class athletes there nowadays. I think it can be a close race again between Norway and Germany for the first place of the medal table this year again, but Norway probably will be first again.

This day surprised me yesterday because Norway can replace Germany's position to be number 1.

It doesn't come as a really big surprise, Scandinavian countries have always been extremely diligent medal winners at the Winter Olympic Games. In fact, Norway is a record eight times' gold medalists' already, with a staggering 132 gold medals! ^[wiki] That's not all. They won 368 total medals at the 23 editions of the games to date.

This Olympics will give more surprises because we still have 10 days later to see the end. Some countries cannot defend their position and replaced by other countries. I wonder what next countries will replace the position. Can Norway defend its position or Germany replace and be the number 1? It is still a big mystery.

Big scandal in Olympic games. Russian figure skating sensation 15 year old Kamila Valieva got positive doping test which was given prior game:

If it's true, she won't be punished very strictly because she is younger than 16 years. But she will be banned from further competitions and Russia will lose medals in team competition.

Finally Team USA gained few position on medal table. At first I thought they came with a weaker roster due to covid. They often show good results at the Olympics, but they are on 5 place now.

Usually the host get lots of medals, but China got only 5 medals and their overall position in medal table is 12 today. I think they are better at summer Olympics.

Who do you think will get most medals this time? Norway were first last time, second were Germany, Canada was third. This time Canada has only 10 medals and takes fourth place.

Norway has already surpassed Germany in the number of medals due to the fact that Norway, with equal gold (5) and silver (3) medals with Germany, also has 4 bronze medals, which Germany does not have.
And by the way, USA also rose in the medal standings to 5 place.
