That is *extremely* nice of you, to point that out rather than the huge achievements of other countries overall!
I hear that the Scot who did well in the skiing had his hair dyed with the flag (a white cross on blue), but was told flags werent allowed so dyed it all blue! My father, an experienced Scottish skier, said he wasnt surprised- apparently it was an uncivilised mixture of soft snow and ice. The sort of thing you get a lot here but not in more sophisticated ski resorts.
I didnt see it myself- I dont expect he was wearing his customary kilt, tho!!
Thanks again for your chivalry!
