Mexico.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Krigloch, the idea behind a "write-in" vote is that you have write in who you think will win. lol

edit: crosspost nevermind

I will bet you my next paycheck that Mexico doesn't win 1 single gold medal

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

no shit! having refried beans in your stomach while its cold as hell outside is a bad idea. and thats why they wont win.

Canada, I s'pose. I don't know how the French are doing at the moment in ski competitions. I know we have a fairly successful artistic-skater but I don't really care for this faggotry.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Realistically & historically, only 3 nations have a shot at "most" medals, at least for winter olympics: the USA, Canada & Russia.

Some nations do well at specific sports, i.e. Italy w/ skiing, Japan or China w/ figure skating, Germany w/ speed skating, etc.

Don't know, but Cool Runnings was a fun movie. I always support the underdogs! Did Jamaica qualify?

 

[Hell Mike]

jamaica have a bobsleigh team

 

[JayKeeley]

Right. That's why I asked if they had qualified. You know, the Cool Runnings reference...oh I give up.

 

[Ellestin]

That movie was titled Rasta Rocket around here WTF

 

[JayKeeley]

Rasta Rocket? Oh man, that would be so non-PC over here, hahaha.
