Germany breaks Games' medals record
Reuters News Service
SALT LAKE CITY — Germany broke the record for the number of medals in a single Winter Olympics with their gold and silver in the women's 1,500 meters speedskating on Wednesday.
Germany now has 31 medals, including nine golds, thanks to Anni Friesinger (gold) and Sabine Voelker (silver).
The previous record of 29 was set by the Soviet Union in the 1988 Calgary Games and equalled by Germany in Nagano four years ago.
The number of medal events has steadily increased since the 1988 Games. Norway leads the Salt Lake City table on number of golds won with 10 and has 18 medals in all.
