At the end of the day this will go down as an OK olympics, the men's hockey team notwithstanding.
You basically have two factors in terms of olympic success.
1. Sending a team with a number of realistic medal opportunities as opposed to relying on upsets/surprises to get your hardware
2. Conversion of those opportunities into medals
We had a great team with regards to #1. I can't recall another olympics where we had so many chances to win.
However, we did not do well with #2. If we can convert more of our chances into medals, then we'd really start to make some noise.
