Well, that is ridiculous.   We barely got into WWI, so you can't count that.   And secondly, we had a lot of help in WWII.   Especially the Soviets, who took on 2/3 of the German army, and the British, who stood absolutely alone in 1940 while we dithered around trying to decide if we were going to do anything.

Damn it, Marty. That's my job.

 

 

Anyway; it's another 1, 2, 3 podium sweep for the Dutch. This time in the 500 metres men's ice gliding in skintight suits.

Yeah, it's really impressive how they just dominate that sport year after year.

Canada has it's own beer dispensers at the Olympic Village. It can only be accessed with their passports. Pretty nifty.
