Sochi 2014

I would expect USA or Canada or China maybe..

and germans won ski jumping today 🙁

GERMANY....GERMANY....GERMANY...!!!

über alles. But they need to get more miscellaneous medals before the others catch up in golds. 7 golds, 12 overall, IIRC.

but still, we have more than ever, and we won over dutch in skating. and we don't have a skating field 😄

I notice a lot of skating professionals train in the States, at least those few I have seen on tv. It could be that the American announcers deliberately make note of this, but I took note because oftentimes they trained in areas of Michigan near where I grew up.

yep, that guy from here was training in USA, not sure where exactly, but he was asking ppl to give him some money so he could go to olympic games 😄 and he won, good investement 😄

I guess there's not a lot of financial support from governments regarding the games? From my understanding, a lot of it is up to generous sponsors and advocates.

our stupid gov is suporrting only football (soccer) 😬
building stupid football fields in every village and so on. coz our prime minister loves it.

and all the other sports in which we actually win are ignored 😬

Our government tried to pass a bill in 2012 to stop military sponsorship of Nascar. I'm uncertain if it even passed.

Governments are unaccountable creatures, using money foolishly, and making enemies over imaginary boundaries.

Nascar is car racing?

Yes. Specifically, it is the urge to wear numerous sponsor emblems while wasting resources going in circles.

In car, to be more precise.

and it's like Formula 1?

Formula 1 is much better, IMO. However, this slightly biased picture comparison helps with the finer details.

red bull as a contructor.. i thought it was bmw

and comparision is a bit too complicated to me, but i got main differences .

It's the old Jaguar constructor. Red Bull bought Jaguar from Ford. Although now I think they're Infiniti Red Bull due to new sponsorship.

Too complicated 😄

Don't worry, I totally looked up the info on Red Bull to seem like I was in the know.

Spoiler:
I had no clue they were in Formula 1.

please... Vettel in Red Bull team was winning a lot of races recently. they said they use red bull as a fuel 😄

Germany are good at Formula 1 too...

Youtube asserts that Red Bull is indeed flammable.

Sounds legit.
