A snarky version of "You win some, you lose some." Popularized during the 2010 Olympics when Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21-year-old Georgian luger, was killed in a training crash. The video was widely distributed and fairly explicit, as he crashed into a steel pillar at nearly 90mph. The event spawned numerous internet memes.
Canadian Prime Minister: We spent over $100 Million dollars preping athletes as part of the "Own the Podium" program for Vancouver. What is the status of our goal?
Canadian Olympic Committee Chair: We have roughly 1/3 the medals of the USA. We are tied with South Korea, a country that does not technically have a winter.
PM: Well, "You win some, you luge some."
