BEIJING : As sporting rivalries go the United States and Canada does not reach the intensity of Argentina and Brazil but when it comes to Winter Olympics the North American neighbours turn the heat up.
Data analysis Nielsen's Gracenote are predicting a tight tussle between Canada and the U.S. with both collecting 22 total medals at the Feb. 4-20 Games. With a bit of creative accounting the U.S. spin puts it ahead in 2010 and 2014 pointing to the total medals count, including a then record 37 collected at the Vancouver Winter Games.
It would be considered one of the Beijing Games major upsets if the two nemesis aren't facing off in the Olympic final again on Feb. 16. Canada will also be looking to atone for crushing failure at the curling rink in Pyeongchang where both the men's and women's teams failed to return home with a medal.
It is genocide games not Olympics.
