(Five gold, five silver, 6 bronze.) That would be tied for first on the total medal count with the United States and Russia. The Dutch skating squad would be No. 2 in the official medal count, behind Germany.The Dutch are doing this with a tiny delegation.Every country with more than six medals in Sochi has over 100 athletes at the Games. Russia, the United States and Canada have 233, 230 and 221 athletes in Sochi, respectively. The Netherlands sent 41 athletes. Forty-one! Of the 26 countries to win medals so far, that’s the third-smallest delegation.I say "OH YEAH!" <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
