In Russia, it is the men who drink vodka-LOTS of vodka. But it is not proper for women to be seen drinking it. (O.K., I know that was your point, right?)

Amazing how …
Amazing how russians aren’t nearly as strong at they used to be now that the World Anti Doping Agency and the respective sports federations have stepped up the testing procedures for banned stimulants.
As for their embarrasing medal haul? They did get 15- Canada only got 14…. oh whats that?… Canada got 14 GOLD?!?!…Well surely they at least won Men’s Hockey??…. Sid the Kid did WHAT?!!!

What the are …
What the are you talking about? There were things I liked and didnt like about it and overall it wasnt that impressive. I think you were just blinded by olympic fever or national pride or something of the sort. And yes I saw the closing ceremonies but I wasnt talking about that at all…

Russian well belong to the U.S. and Canada, know their culture, history and achievements.

The results of …
The results of Vancouver games are not a total fiasco for Russia. They are far not optimal, but there are results. The actual situation is mainly the consequence of the social and administrative chaos of the 90’s. I really expected a drop, as well some the exaggerations of people who like to despite Russia and Russian sport achievements. Good that Russian civil society and government want now to correct the faults committed in last years. Never late!

OK, Russia did suck the big one in Vancouver.
They were pathetic.
Go ahead and whine like children, Russia.
It won’t change the embarrassment.

@coastalpacific So I guess the answer is just that you’d gripe and whine at anything. Too bad you couldn’t have just enjoyed it as thousands did.

I hope people from other countries reading these comments don’t think that all americans and canadians are like the obnoxious, catty, braging ones here who are embarrasing our countries by trying to diss eachother…

Embarrassing how the olympics are meant to reach accross the world and it’s only a handful of nordic nations that perform well at the winter olympics.
Countries with populations of 10s to 30 millions outclast major countries such as india, china, etc haha..

Lol that happens …
Lol that happens for everyone, almost all curling teams are coached by Canadians. There were many Canadian athletes competing for other countries. Its a global sports community now, deal with it.
