Update for in 2018:

1. 4 more medals for Japan to tie its performance in 2014.
2. 6 more medals for Japan to tie the best performance since 1998."

He also said, "Shaun White just won gold against very high odds (tough competition).  His gold medal was the USA 100^th gold in winter Olympic history, very appropriate! FYI, Japan almost got gold (very close), but took silver!!"
