Germany had 29 medals, U.S. had 25, and Canada had 24 (along with France 9, Poland 2).  I have a little Indian (American) in me, but I was really hoping for a Lithuanian Gold Medal in the Luge.

My college fencing intructor (in the late 70's) won a bronze medal for the pentathlon in the mid 50's.

Yeah, some wrestler named Jeff something, from just down the road from me when I grew up, in Schenectady (NY) (he lived in Schenectady, I lived in the town of Amsterdam, he was 10 years older than me), won the gold or silver.  I should look it up, I was real young and it might bring back memories.  It was in the 80's.
