Allergic to gold?

So far the Norwegian Olympic team has won more medals and points than any other nation. But when it comes to winning the gold, it seems the entire team is allergic.

Not only have the Norwegians missed that last 1/10 second that would have taken them to the top. 12 of Norway's athletes have been too ill to participate in one or more events. Hopefully the allergy will pass, and Norway climb ahead of the US in the lists. Not that I'd usually mind the US winning, not until I heard that the US team's goal is first to prevent Norwegians from winning, then cash in medals of their own. Wanting to win is one thing, wanting someone else to fail quite another...
