However, all the exotic countries participating in the Winter Olympics are a nice addition! (Okay, Greece isn't that exotic, but...)

Today was e.g. an interesting cross-country skiing sprint competition in the program! By the way, the bronze was won by the American Jessie Diggins and the Finnish Joni Mäki was not far from the bronze either [was a super surprise]! Finns are still better in classic skiing style, although e.g. in biathlon and Nordic combined competitions, only free style is used anymore!

Edit: Two notable and historical highlights include:

Matthias Mayer [AUT] in alpine skiing and Natalie Geisenberger [GER] in luge won their third personal championship!

Sledding is an interesting thing, it is popular in Central Europe, Russia, Latvia and North America, there are even Jamaicans involved, etc., but then many other traditional winter sports countries are completely out of the races!

It’s really great that the medal table for these games is really steady!

Ps. In America, I guess it is customary to look first at the total number of medals in medal stats?
