How many medals have Canadians let slip because they chocked?

Ski Cross, Luge (W), Bobsleigh, Downhill, Speed Skating, Short Track etc. are all events Canada should have had at least a bronze medal and walked away with nothing, some not even close!

Also not to be a debbie downer but even the four golds the country has won they have backed into them hoping the person in the lead failed. I don't think Canada has gone into any event they were suppose to win, and actually won it.

I know people keep saying wait for the last week and we will start winning more but nothing I have seen from the medals we were suppose win that makes me BELIEVE now! I want to, but just don't see a reason to get excited just so I can be let down again.
