Men's gold was Canada, silver was Finland, bronze was USA, Great Britain came in 4th.  Women's gold was Sweden, silver was Switzerland and bronze was Canada.  Norway came in 4th.  Hope that helps!

no they are not. Alaska, for example, has an olympic size rink which is a lot wider than most of the others.

I think the winter olympics were pretty good, not the best I've seen, but still very interesting seeing new countries winning medals. What I was a little disappointed about was the performance of Bode Miller. He was portrayed to be very good by the media, but then screwed up in most of his events.

Since the Winter Olympics started in 1924, the United States have won a total of 78 gold medals
113796
Let's see: China country of a billion+ people\nGold 2 Silver 3 Bronze 4 total of 9\n\nGermany country of 82,431,390 people\nGold 9 Silver 10 Bronze 5 total of 25\n\nI wouldn't call that "so much olympic medals"

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

Michael Phelps won 8 medals (6 gold, 2 bronze).\nAleksandr Dityatin, USSR (1980) also won 8 medals in gymnastics (3 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze).\nThen there are quite a few summer Olympians who won seven medals.  Notably, Mark Spitz won 7 swimming gold medals in 1972.  Matt Biondi won seven swimming medals in 1988.  And Alexei Nemov, of Russia won 6 medals at back to back Olympics in 1996 and 2000.

To become a winter olympic gold medalist you will need a lot of hard work especially if you are from a country with no snow.  Good luck

During the Torino Olympics Cindy Klassen (Speed Skating)from Canada won 5 medals. 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze. That's made her the biggest winner in Torino.\n\nIn 1980, in Lake PLacid, Eric Heiden from USA won 5 gold medals. That I think is the best in one olympics.\n\nBut, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen (Biathlon) is the most decorated athlete. He had 6 medals before the Torino games and add three other medals. So he has now 9 winter olympic medals (5-3-1).

Trophy Lalique \n\nParis, France \n13 - 16 November 1997\n\n \n\nLADIES \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Laetitia Hubert FRA 2 1 \n2 Tara Lipinski USA 1 2 \n3 Vanessa Gusmeroli FRA 5 3 \n4 Lu Chen CHN 4 4 \n5 Krisktina Czako HUN 3 6 \n6 Elena Ivanova RUS 6 5 \n7 Fanny Cagnard FRA 7 7 \n8 Eva-Maria Fitze GER 8 8 \n9 Jennifer Robinson CAN 10 9 \n10 Marta Andrade SPN 11 10 \n11 Hanae Yokoya JPN 9 11 \n\nNotes: \n\nLaetitia Huber pulled off a surprise vistory beating both World Champion Tara Lipinski and World Bronze medallist Vanessa Gusmeroli.  She skated a clean short and in the long she was fast and dynamic.  She landed five triples in the long.  Said Hubert, "It's encouraging, I'm working really hard now mentally.  This year we're showing that the old girls are still in it." (Huber is 23.)\n\nCompeting with a head cold, Tara Lipinski also landed five triple in the long, but she doubled a triple Lutz, and singled the second jump in her planned triple loop - triple loop copmbination.  Gusmeroli landed four triples, and fell on triple loop.  Lu Chen still has not regained her form of old, and without the full range of triple she once possesed could only manage a fourth place finish.\n\n \n\nMEN \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Alexei Yagudin RUS 2 1 \n2 Philippe Candeloro FRA 4 2 \n3 Igor Pashkevitch AZE 3 3 \n4 Todd Eldredge USA 1 5 \n5 Evgeny Pliuta UKR 7 4 \n6 Thierry Cerez FRA 5 6 \n7 Jeffrey Langdon CAN 6 7 \n8 Zhengxin Guo CHN 8 8 \n9 Frederic Dambier FRA 9 9 \n10 Selichi Suzuki JPN 11 10 \n  Michaeal Hopfes GER 10   \n\nNotes: \n\nAlexei Yagudin began his long program by landing triple Axel on two feet, but then went on to land six triple and a quad toe loop.  He completed quad toe, triple Axel - triple toe, double Lutz, triple flip - triple toe, triple Salchow and triple loop.\n\nAfter placing fourth in the short, Philippe Candeloro came back in the long skating his Napoleon program for the last time in competition.  Despite a few problems he showed that he is on the way back after last year's season beset by injury.  He landed triple Axel - triple toe, triple Lutz, triple loop, and triple toe.  A solo triple flip was not clean, he nearly fell on triple Axel, and touched a hand down on triple Salchow.   Despite these problems, it was an improvement over Nation's Cup and an encouraging program for his season.\n\nIgor Pashcevitch landed eight triples, but two of these were of poor quality, and he did not have a triple - triple combination.  He landed triple Axel - double toe, a double Lutz into triple toe sequence, and triple Salchow, flip, toe loop, and loop. A solo triple Axel and a solo triple Lutz were both done poorly with shaky landings.\n\nEldredge won the short program on a 5-2 split panel, landing triple Axel - triple toe, and triple Lutz; but had problems in the long.  He singled his opening triple Axel, then tried another and singled it again.  He landed triple Salchow - double toe, triple Lutz - triple toe, and triple loop for a total of four triples.  He also landed a double Axel and doubled a planned closing triple Salchow.  Speaking about the result, Eldredge's coach Richard Callaghan said, "It was a combination of pain and just missing training time between events."  (Eldredge suffered a dislocated shoulder at Skate America.).  Earlier Eldredge had said, "I'm only at 75% of where I would like to be."  Despite the poor result, Eldredge has sufficient points to guarantee making the series final.\n\nZhengxin Guoattempted two quad jumps.  He fell on the first and doubled the second.   Michael Hopfes pulled out after injuring his foot during practice the morning of the long program.\n\n \n\nPAIRS \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Bereznaia/Sikharulidze RUS 1 1 \n2 Woetzel/Steuer GER 2 2 \n3 Shen/Zhao CHN 3 3 \n4 Sargeant/Wirtz CAN 5 4 \n5 Abitbol/Bernadis FRA 4 5 \n6 Ina/Dungjen USA 6 6 \n7 Hartsell/Hartsell USA 8 7 \n8 Haddad/Prive FRA 7 8 \n9 Roger/Rolla
