.. and here's the thing - we're forgetting that curling and hockey are our flagship events. Much in the same way that speedskating is to the Netherlands / Korea, x-country is to Norway, downhill is to Austria and Switzerland, etc.
95% of all the competing countries in the Winter Olympics normally couldn't hold a candle to the talent we pump out of this country for Canada's two aformentioned events. Hockey and curling are our bread and butter. We're miles ahead of others, but I think we're so used to that we want to see other successes in other events, which is fair and natural.
