#37Only if you use the made up counting system USA has tried on since China started winning more golds.
As if losing by 5 golds but winning 10 extra bronzes makes you the winner
If NBC didn't try to fake it, maybe Americans would still care more about the olympics. No pride in fake winning to keep excitement up.
Are you really looking for bragging rights in Badminton, diving, women weightlifting, ping pong, shooting or canoeing? Do you really give a shit about 90% of the games? come on man.Comment -

#38Just like I expected. 13 out of Australia's 14 gold medals are in the water. Which should be expected living on an island. The only other gold... BMX
AND GET THIS... 10 are by women. The Aussies being carried by their women in the water.Comment -

#39LOL. My dad who lived in Australia for 2 years back in the day says “I guess when you got the great white sharks swimming around your island, you better be good.”Comment -

#40Sorry but I don't look at the Olympics as a CLEAR winner/loser event. I also don't just look at gold medals or overall medals. I have no idea what you mean by a MADE UP counting system? Medals are medals.

Finishing 2nd in the SuperBowl is losing.
Just win, baby!Comment -

Are you really happy to try and say USA is coming first?
You've done nothing but try to diminish the achievements of the greatest sporting nation on earth all thread!
Don't ya worry about what makes us winners proud. You just keep counting those loser medals as equal to golds and insisting you are winning to comfort yourself.Comment -

Yeah I think most countries take a real enjoyment beating us lol! We're three golds shy of you guys at the moment, so it's certainly close. Good luck the rest of the way bud.Comment -

There's absolutely no shame in silver or bronze in my opinion. No shame in winning in canoeing either.Comment -

Australian Athletes Reportedly Left Vomit and Hole in Wall in Their Rooms at the Olympic Village (msn.com)
After finishing up their events at the Games and heading home, members of Australian men's rowing and rugby teams left "their rooms in a messy and unacceptable state," the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) confirmed to The Australian.
"Two apartments had minor damage, one each involving athletes from the men's rowing and rugby teams," an AOC spokesman told the outlet. The New York Times reported that the athletes had left "vomit and a hole in the wall" in their living areas.Comment -

#65What kind of a hole in the wall are we talking here?
Is it a hole from somebody punching/kicking it?
Or more like a JJGold type hole in the wall?Comment -

#66So I wanna know how many of the Aussie gold medals are the result of just three women? Titmus, McKeon and McKeown. They won 2 relay golds together that I saw. Titmus won 2 indy golds that I saw and iirc both the McK's won multiple indy golds. Thats a large percentage of gold coming from just three ladies. Having said that the Aussie girls ive seen are better looking than the American Olympic girls for the most part and Australia is a great sporting nation. Tennis, golf, cycling, rugby, swimming basketball, crocodile wrestling etc. all tremendous for Aussies per capita no doubt. Great country and people. They like to party too.Comment -

Rudy, it would not be Rugby without some vomiting from the winners.
Rugby + Beer + Fighting = required activities.
