Can't believe the US lost to Canada in Women's hockey last night. US out shot them 2:1 and still lost.
 
Norway is taking the lead in terms of number of medals so far..

I thought the US would have been doing better but they are in the top 5.

I don't think the US ever led in medals for the winter games. I know they have in summer.
 
Yeah, I agree.. I did some research, interesting, Norway is always near the top but the U.S. is very close.

After 20 years, the U.S. Women's Hockey team won the gold medal.

 
That US Women's hockey gold medal game was fantastic. Hats off to them - awesome!
 
Team USA defeated Sweden 10-7 for first curling gold
 
The Olympics is now over and it looks like not many watched.

Per yahoo,

"the 2018 Winter Games will go down as the least-watched Olympics in history. In primetime on NBC, the Olympics broadcasts averaged 17.8 million viewers a night, down 17 percent from 2014 and 27 percent from 2010. When numbers from the NBC Sports Network and NBC’s streaming platforms are included, the Olympics averaged 19.8 million viewers per night. That’s a 7 percent drop from their coverage of the 2014 Sochi Olympics, which averaged 21.3 million viewers per night."
 
Huh? I watched it pretty much every day. :scratchhead:
 
Most of my friends never watched it.. I guess those of us who watched were in the minority. lol.
