1. Funny how everybody ignores what Russia did during WW2.
2. This chart is crap. If we only took the best athletes in the world, regardless of country, we could have fielded another basketball team, 10 more womens basketball teams ... and more athletes in different sports that I dont greatly follow... then we would have more medals ...

[Emily_Haines]

and wars since 1940

1-32

but hey we won more medals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only because we bought other countries best atheletes

[thetrinity]

proves nothing, should win the most every time.

If's and buts:

If we exclude swimming which has a disproportionate number of medals awarded to it for the talents involved -
USA - 30 gold, 20 silver, 23 bronze
GB&NI - 29 gold, 16 silver, 17 bronze

so despite hundred of millions of population, and being the richest nation on earth, you are not really very much good at anything else

[k13]

Britain sucks in Olympics overall but they pulled in 65 medals. Means nothing.

Old soviet union bagged like 170 medals this Olympics.

Take out swimming and medals won by slaves and there's like 20 medals left.....

Swimming is big in America .... almost every high school has a swim team ... Missy Franklin is still in high school and just won 4 gold medals in swimming. That is amazing. Swimming has alot of medals, just like track does. Ill assume you are from England ? Congrats on putting on a good Olympics. There are some events that most people in the US have never even heard of , let alone play (Like Handball) it looks cool though. I wish the Olympics would expand with other sports like Lacrosse, Jujitsu and a few others.

Medal Count

Europe 566
U.S.A. 104

[GOIRISH]

Its nice to always be the best at everything.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

All just a giant doping contest anyway. Look at who medalled in the 100m...

Bolt: has a personal chemist from Balco.
Blake: failed drugs test in the past.
Gatlin: failed two drugs tests in the past.


As has come out recently, the US is happy to cover up postitive drugs tests of its own for at least the last 30 years. For example, Carl Lewis failing three tests before the 88 Olympics. Google Wade Exum, he was head of anti-doping in the US, has been releasing a lot of the files - positive tests just went "missing" in the system.

[Extra Innings]

Kinda of funny, if the USA lost this thing the World would be piling on....enjoyed seeing the China news coverage drop off after they had zero chance of winning.

good to see americans proud of their negro offspring

an american team will win the "world series" this year also, ofcourse 29 out of 30 are american teams

Good to see some people take sporting events very serious.
Maybe its called the World Series because players from all over the world play in the league ? It would be different if only Boston Natives played for the Red Sox and THEN it was called the world series.
