There's a 1960s song, by Harry Nilsson, the opening line of which is "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do".
It wasn't written about New Zealand's medal tally at Winter Olympics, but it could have been.
Standing alone, as she has done for 26 years, is slalom skier Annelise Coberger.
She stunned the alpine world with her sizzling second run to take the silver medal at Albertville, France. She was only overtaken late in the piece by Austrian Petra Kronberger. It deserves to be ranked among the finest of New Zealand Olympic performances, given all factors surrounding it, but at times seems to be forgotten.
So it's high time the medal count doubled. In Summer Olympics, New Zealand have won 47 golds, 27 silver and 46 bronze. It's clearly an unfair comparison.
