	Winter Olympics: A Tale of Two Countries
		The flood of medals was quickly reduced to a relative trickle in 1956.
		It was the most dismal Olympics on record from a Norwegian point of view with not a single gold medal and a meager 5 medals in all.
		This approach hurts medal counts but may be good for the collective national health in decades to come.

		With 19 medals in Torino, Norway's overall total reached 283, but only two of the latest medals were gold; by himself, biathlon star Ole Einar Bjoerndalen had been expected to win several golds.
		It was not quite the 25 medals that some Russian officials had projected beforehand, but good enough to merit a special flight home Monday just for the medal winners.
		There were other breakthroughs: Tanja Poutiainen gave Finland its first medal in Alpine skiing with a silver in women's giant slalom, and Shizuka Arakawa, with her elegant free skate, gave Japan its first gold medal in figure skating.

	Americans had fruitful Games
		SALT LAKE CITY -- When he arrived at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, Derek Parra was just another anonymous speed skater with a part-time job in the flooring department at Home Depot, which pays Olympic-caliber athletes full-time wages to allow them to train and support themselves.
		When the U.S. Olympic Committee announced in April 2001 that it expected American athletes to win 20 medals in Salt Lake City, it was denounced for having a severe case of over-optimism.
		Most host countries substantially boost their medal count, partially because companies are more likely to sponsor a sport or an athlete when the competition takes place in their own country.

		In the last four Winter Games, 44 percent of U.S. medals were won in sports not on the program until 1992 or later and in skeleton, which returned to the Games in 2002 after a 54-year absence.
		Five of the record 10 gold medals in 2002 came in skeleton and in events that were not in the Winter Olympic before 1998 (snowboarding's halfpipe and women's bobsled).
		In consecutive Winter Olympics, a nation's shift from a Games at home to foreign ice and snow historically has meant a 41 percent decrease in medals, according to USOC research.

		Whereas Americans are perennially among the medal leaders in the Summer Olympics, accolades for the country on the snow and ice are much rarer.
		The winter sports Americans expect to challenge in are often the most commercially-profitable ones, like figure skating or men's hockey.
		It is not very surprising to note the number of Winter Olympians from Princeton – none – and the fact that our ski team and figure skating team (who won a competition up at M.I.T. this weekend, by the way) are both club level.
