LEt me ask you this, where do you get your expected results from? I'm sure you've intently followed the respective world cup seasons to know who is performing well under certain conditions, who's struggling through injuries, who's peaking, who's slumping etc., or maybe you just go with the hype machine that is CTV. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Do you feel better about yourself when you get on the condescending train and just roll? Your entire second paragraph is from the highest perch possible. Better yet, you sound like Stewie from Family guy. CP is getting terrible for this.
As for the rest of your post, agree to disagree. When you fall down during Ski Cross going over a jump with no one around you, that's losing a medal. When you go into the Skeleton finals with the best time and finish out of a medal position on your home track, that's losing a medal. When you have 2 Canadian skaters in the finals for 1000 m short track and place 4th and 5th, well, that's just flat out embarrassingly pathetic.
