I would have expected Chile or Argentina to have at least a couple given their southern latitudes and extensive high mountains. They’re both reasonably well developed with mostly stable governments so there should be enough money and administration available to field Olympic teams. The fact they have *zero* suggests they seldom/never participate in the winter games.
This morning, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen made history by becoming the first athlete representing a South American country win a medal of any color at the Winter Olympics and Brazil becomes the first country in the Americas outside of USA and Canada to win a medal at the Winter Games!

I’m honestly shocked Chile or Argentina don’t have any medals.

Canada with 2/3 the medals of the US despite only having a bit more than 1/10 the population. 🇨🇦💪

Bobsledding hasn’t begun this year yet. There’s still hope for Jamaica.

Actually legitimately surprised Mexico doesn’t have any medals from a dual-national citizen living in America. Figured at least one would have medaled in something like ski/snowboard cross or slalom, even if they’re otherwise “cultured out” of a skating discipline.

For anybody wondering where the one medal for Brazil came from, [it happened this morning](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/brazil-south-america-medal-winter-olympics-giant-slalom-skeleton/)

Go Team USA!
Good job Brazil! Congratulations from Canada
Crazy that Chile has never produced a skiing medalist when this is their capital’s [skyline](https://endlessturns.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/santiago-skyline.jpg)
winter sports are very much a circle jerk of rich kids
And 347 is without cheating.
One down, 346 to go

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning a gold for Brazil is so off the charts cool
I thought the Jamaicans won bobsledding at least once? Pretty sure I watched a documentary about it back in the 2000s.
imho the Olympics should just drop the theatrics and auction off the medals to the first world countries at this point
just cut the middle man
USA is so dominant in everything. I bow to your power.

Welcome to the party🍾
For Canada having 10% of the population of the US, they are punching way above their weight. That is very impressive. Go Canada!
Who would you rather be tho, one of 233 or the goat in Brazil?
Way to go Brazil! !!
Let’s do per capita
