A look at the medal table makes Swiss hearts beat faster. With 12 medals, including three gold ones, the Swiss team is in an excellent 15th place and sits Canada (also 3 gold medals) behind their necks. It is already the Olympic Games with the highest number of medals for Switzerland since Helsinki in 1952 (14 medals).
Especially in the canton of St. Gallen there is cheering. Three medals have already gone to Eastern Switzerland, two of them gold. Jolanda Neff and Belinda Bencic, both fans of the FCSG, clear away for St. Gallen.
“11 matches drained me”: This is what Bencic and Golubic say after double silver(02:03)
St. Gallen would displace Kosovo
In the official medal table, the canton of St. Gallen would take 21st place, which is currently held by Kosovo, Ecuador and Qatar. That would be crazy in front of nations like Spain, Sweden or Denmark!
Neff agrees. She shares a corresponding tweet on Twitter, enriched with happy emojis.
By the way, Nidwalden would be in 43rd place – ahead of Greece, Portugal or Argentina. (sme)
