I doubt its a Sunday thing. Go to any youth sporting competition on a Sunday in Utah, and active Mormons...
are there in force. It's practically a non-issue.

For a country with the population and financial/natural resources of the US, this Olympic showing is embarrassing.

Our best athletes don't grow up doing winter sports.

A country with a population of 5 million (Norway) is piling medals up at a 3:1 pace to the US. That's a poor excuse.

I'm pretty sure they're born with skis already strapped onto their feet

Norway doesn't care about NFL, NBA, MLB, College athletics... No summer Olympics

You mean like soccer? Winter sports is a way of life for other countries.

Utahns cleaned up in the 2014 Olympics. But you’re right that it’s mainly in

Yeah, this independence stinks. We should join the Commonwealth.

No one cares about a Winter Olympics with no NHL players.

The world was a lot different then, and NHL players had never been used

Is anyone even watching them? Ratings any good? I haven't watched anything but

I've watched a few events but with the US doing so poorly

A lot of Ute logic in this thread. Normally the US is competitive in the winter

At midpoint, the least optimistic projection was 15 medals
Archaea
2/19/18 8:11am
It could be worse. We had 6 total medals in 1988.

True, and fewer sports to medal in.

1988 Olympics were the Summer Olympics in South Korea. Are you sure we only had

Back then, summer and winter were the same year. Changed in '94
