Fun American article about the Dutch on the winter olympics.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304899704579387333918124514

Some quotes.

In Sochi, the Dutch Are Dominating the Overall Olympic Medal Count


Quote
SOCHI, Russia—Everyone sick of watching the Dutch win speedskating medals, please raise your hand.


Quote
Ah, Sochi, land of February sun, snow as wet and heavy as a soaking wash cloth, and the Netherlands winning the overall medal race!

This is absurd. The Netherlands has about 15 million people.


Quote
Sunday brought more domination, as the Dutch swept the podium in speedskating's women's 1,500 meters. The Netherlands had 17 medals at day's end on Sunday, one more than the U.S. and Russia;

All could use some Dutch lessons.

Such a weak excuse really.
Why is Ukraine dominating hw boxing (aka the only kind that matters)? Aren't there way more American boxers out there?

And what about Netherlands being second best behind Spain in the most recent world cup of the most popular sport in the world?
Also because we have ''more people trying''? Really? You realize that Texas alone is already 16 and half times larger than the Netherlands right? And has more people as well.
