Here's the medal count thus far (just the top 5).

Notice while the Swiss only have 3 they are all gold.

In the UK, we put medal table in order of most golds, then most silvers and finally most bronzes - so Switzerland are top over here at the moment.

That is a sensible way to do it too.

I loved the summary coverage on that site. I wish the US coverage was half as good.

NBC is once again failing to cover the EVENTS and continue to cover the "human interest" stories... I'm guessing that during the prime time broadcast last night I would say 50% was ads, 25% was "human interest pieces" and the rest actual footage of the events... (which I don't even think they are covering live.)

Sigh.... at least on the secondary channell they are showing some full hockey games. Can't wait to see a USA v Canada Womens game...

I blew off the Olympics last night and watched Westminster instead. At least that showed all the action as it was happening.

I'm guessing you were on the edge your your seat. That show has a lot of bite but also quite a bit of fluff.

Wouldn't you preferred to be paid? That way you can, if you want, pay your retainer a percentage of it, and keep the rest...
