With the Olympics almost over, among winter powerhouse countries the one that most positively surprised was Netherlands with 22 medals, double what was expected. Conversely, Austria, Germany, Norway and South Korea all won about 40% fewer medals than expected. Most amazing, Netherlands brought just 41 athletes and won 22 medals, a ridiculous half a medal/participant! 21 medals were in speed skating and one in short-track speed skating. Talk about specialization!
