Sorry had to do that.
It's not bad for a nation of beaches and desert with a population numbering less than ten percent of the US to win a medal at the WINTER OLYMPICS! Especially since our siblings (70 million of them) in that rainy cold island on the other side of the world, hasn't done so yet
Last count I checked Norway (4 million people) was on top of the gold medal tally with 7 Gold, followed by Germany (5) Russia (4) and the USA (3).
That means a nation of 280 Americans, most of whom have grown up with waaay more snow/ice exposure than the 20 million Aussies, have only 2 Gold medals more!!!
We all know it's about Gold medals. (That's what Aussie tallys have always been based on) Silver schmilver. Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing
