Although we like the thought of our shared victory (who wouldn't?) it's not very realistic to claim it. On the other hand, that whole ranking isn't very realistic, since countries are way too different in population and sports budget to claim any title out of it. That goes for the USA as well. Anyway, don't forget spokesman Kemppinnen made a joke rather than a statement. But if you like, we can include Canada's medals in the "North-American" count, to make it more fair :) greetings from the Netherlands, basz. Have to agree with you there.
