The men’s hockey final was a proper way to end the games, an incredible moment with the golden goal and the celebrations afterward. I can’t believe it was been almost 50 years since the last gold medal for USA. There were close calls in 2002, 2010, and 2014 but each time they just ran into a better Canadian team. Nice to get this one over their arch rivals and nemesis.
It was a good showing by Team USA overall with most gold medals ever, but no one was going to catch Norway. It must be said though, the US won their medals across a variety of different events and discipline, whereas Norway and Holland won in two specific events, cross-country skiing which is like a national sport in Norway and speed skating where the Dutch were untouchable. Doesn’t make it any less impressive, lots of talent in both countries.
Icing on the cake was some of the woke/anti- American athletes walking away with nothing.
