Vancouver 2010 as seen from a small European country, Part 3

I would have thought that Olympic coverage in Europe would be very similar to what I've seen in America. We all like skiing. We all like hockey. We all like watching figure skaters biff it.

Check out the medal count on any US-centric site and America is #1 because we have the most total medals.

But go to a Euro-centric site and Switzerland is #1 because they have the most golds.

Check it out on any African-centric site and you'll be like, "Serious? There are African-centric websites for the Olympics?"
