They are just setting it up for next time. The winter olympics is in Russia in 4 years, and I suspect they will "own the podium" at that point.

Prolly not. If there is one thing I do know, its Russians. They could do it if they were still well off and a major power to spend like the Chinese. But since the Soviet Union imploded they aren't willing to spend the resources and nor is there the national will. My opinion is look to the Chinese.

"Russian athletes, trainers and sport officials blamed bad luck, lousy weather, equipment failure, echoes of previous doping scandals, judges' bias and other factors for its dismal showing. "Team Russia has already won gold for the multiple excuses of its losses," a popular Moscow tabloid scoffed.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called for the resignation of the nation's top Olympic officials Monday after the country's worst performance in a Winter Olympics in nearly a hundred years.

Absolutely not! I was saying the same thing. Did you see Ovechkin pretending like his finger was hurt after he caught that slow wobble of a puck that bounced up? He was like a pee wee that didn't want to be blamed for his team's lameness.

How about that guy that awarded himself "platinum"...

These are from the same stock of people that held the dirty Nazi back at Stalingrad? I thought toughness was a particularly Russian trait... but now I guess that has been replaced by whining little bitchiness. ;-)

And for the record... I think the americans blew their mojo when they stopped playing high and mighty hockey and stooped to some dirty dealings with late hits, high sticks and the like. As a result, Crosby and company won through moral authority... and an excellent wrist shot. imo...

I laughed my head off when Ovechkin pulled that stunt. Typical Russian. He was soooooo neutralized and soooooo embarrassed. I guess his designer jean sales will drop slightly.

yeah, it was especially hilarious when the camera did a super zoom down onto his hands when the gloves came off... almost looked like he couldn't remember which hand was supposed to be hurt.
