Well actually,  Italy's Giuliano Razzoli, participating in his first Olympic Games, survived a blazing second run from Croatia's Ivica Kostelic to win Gold in Saturday's Olympic Slalom at Whistler, BC .

Italy also won a Silver Medal in Cross Country Skiing, and Bronze Medals in Luge, Nordic Combined, and Short Track Skating, for a Total of  Five (5) Medals,  Italy finished ahead of Japan, Finland, Australia, Belarus, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Latvia, and in LAST  Place with  ONE (one) Medal; is the VAUNTED  (Formerly) GREAT Britain, along with other EMPIRES like Estonia, and Kazakhstan. 

Imagine those SNOBBY Brits who STILL delusionally think they have an Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and are a not only a Super Power, but SUPERIOR. people. These  Celtic Barbarians that were Civilized by the Romans, and then brought back from the Middle Ages, by the Italian Renaissance, who have the unadulterated audacity, and unmitigated gall, to diminish and mock Italy consistently, like a whipping boy. These pasty faced cretins who think "fish an chips is "gourmet cuisine".

These Pompous Pale Faces, again scored ONLY ONE (1) Medal. Oh yes Their former Colonies , the US scored 37, Canada,scored 30., even Australia won 3, and (Not so great ) Britain scored ONE (1)  a LOST ONE!!!!!!   Italy Scored 5 TIMES as many as Britain. !!!!!!!

I will neglect to mention that  Italy came in 15 th, but then I guess I'm being effected by the tactic of "spin" and distortion from the Fox News that I have been watching, that makes up facts to suit their Agenda. or maybe i'll make up My own rules.

Or maybe reclaim that the Slalom  solely determines the Olympics winner, or the only events that Really counted were the events Italy won  medals in, or just DSQ all countries over $60 Million population. . 

NOTE: Since the first Olympics took place in Athens, Greece in 1896 the country of Italy has won over 600 medals, which ranks them sixth out of all of the countries that compete in both the Summer and Winter games. I have put together a list of all the Italian medal winners. I have the list separated by the medal won and by each individual competition. Just select the category that you want to view and you will see a list of athletes, the event they medaled in, which medal they won and the year they won.
