Are you sure this is right? I can't believe we're at the top of the medal table...

[Wakarimashita]

It's right. You're doing amazing, especially in luge events. No one is really crushing the competition this year, it's hard to predict which country will end up at the top of the medal table by the end of the games.

[Iwamoto Yuri]

Won't be us, that's for sure, considering most we do is related to ice skating. Nonetheless, Nl is doing pretty good so far.
