Winter olympics is discriminatory! It discriminates based on snow!
Just yesterday Ireen Wust over took Pechstein as the most decorated speed skater in Olympics. Yet that didn't merit a mention. Oh and she was never convicted of blood doping.

Ok now do top 10 winter Olympic teams so we can see Canada’s men’s & women’s hockey teams. Only saying this because there was no Canadians on this list.
