The overall medals ranking based on atomic weight of gold, silver and copper. This method seems to be the most balanced one. As a result of such calculation two silver medals are better than one gold, three bronze medals are slightly worse than one gold medal and two bronze medals better than one silver.
The atomic weight of gold, silver and copper respectively is 197.2, 107.88 and 63.57.

Go Russia!

I have just seen Russia - Latvia in the preliminary Olympics men's ice hockey round. It was a spectacular game. Russia wins 8-2. Olympic ice hockey tournament promises to be very interesting.

  1. Yes, Russians were not bad, but more serious fights are ahead. Hope they'll continue to be as good!

  2. Yes, I agree. The real test is ahead. How about Russia - Canada final?

  3. If Russians continue to play like today with Slovak team, they'll hardly reach final :(

  4. I had a sad feeling after this morning game. Not only about the game itself but about shootout after the overtime. Let's hope that it was just a bad day for Russians and they will advance to the final eight.
    Canada also didn't play their best against Swiss but still got their points.
