To me, that means they are willing to compete in more sports. They did better than other similarly sized countries (e.g. UK).

Well atleast they participated in those events.

Others chose not to or didn’t qualify to even participate.

Had they gone that route others would have had the Last Place honor.

Sounds like they are actually amateur athletes who compete for the love of it.

When you have multi-millionaires with their own personal "teams" competing in the Olympics (I'm looking at you, Shawn White), it just doesn't seem very... sporting.

SK? I think bigger news is how disappointing the LGBT focused US Team performed. No figure skating medals since 1936? How about a US Olympic team made up of NHL allstars does not win a medal, and doesn't even score a goal in the medal rounds?

Strange what makes news now days

Well, The best Korean athelete, “Victor Ahn” did compete as a newly-minted Russian. He won 3 gold and a silver for his new Motherland. The Russians also collected two golds from an American-turned-Russian snowboarder.
