I find it interesting how world events played a huge impact on the number of medals... For instance, in in 1904 the games were in St. Louis and almost no other countries showed up (for whatever reason) and the US steamrolled everyone.
Anyone know why almost no one else showed up?
WWI wasn't underway yet, so what gives?
-
i took 3 weeks on a ship to travel to us in 1904
also it was to expensive for most athletes (all amateurs)

Yes, but it was no so lopsided the previous olympiads... Nor those immediately following when transportation hadn't really changed.
I don't think that's the reason.

i know now (called my granny ;) )
in 1900 Paris and 1904 the olympic games were integrated in the contemporaneous held Exposition Mondiale (EXPO) and the events were spread over several months.
So the interest in the games was very small

MMM China has more Gold. No one remembers who came second.

hup holland hup

China implemented some program to win more medals this year. They're supposedly targeting events with multiple medal opportunities in a desperate attempt to win the most medals. Probably going after the events no one cares about. They get smacked around in the majority of the most popular sports.

Thanks for noticing Kristy at the games, guys! I'm hoping Kristy Coventry can win another medal in the backstroke.... her strongest event. She has a good chance at Gold!
The last 15 years have been a tragic hell for anyone (black or white) living under President Mugabe. My parents lost everything!!!! This was just on the front page of the "LA Times"...

haha. for a country that has very little snow. not too bad. if u wanna see the luckiest mofo of all time. google steven bradbury. out first winter olympic gold.

that is stupid. many athletes hop to other countures for a myriad of reasons finances, citizenship. Coaches from the United States are couching Chinese athletes,
what is your point? Beyond stupidty
-

Australia will most likely be #1 per capita, statisticially speaking they usually are every summer olympics and also are in all time medals in history [discounting mega tiny places that might have populations of say under 100,000 and scrape up a medal therefore wierdly skewing the per capita issue, like my home for example]

Medal tallies are judged by how many gold medals a country has won, not how many medals total.
I'd rather have one gold than 200 bronze.

Agreed Gold medals should be the top factor when decidiing Nation Supremacy.
The per capita count is a little misleading, you can have a very small country that gets a couple gold medals and throws the statistic way off.

Yes, looking good until track starts. While you'll one win medal in the 110 hurdles, the USA will win probably half of all the events.
USA Men's Basketball - 101
China - 70

Well, ummm, no.
The fact is, it doesn't really matter how many medcals are won.
We Yanks will go back to living lifestyles chock-full of splendor and opportunity.
500 Million Chinamen live on two dollars per day
Oh, yeah, and that doesn't matter if its yen, greenbacks, euros or whatever.

Need your help? You have borrowed billions of dollars from the Chinese. Their ecconomey is thriving, people are very happy. They hate Americains. Fuck you really have no idea what goes on in this country do you?

Can't say I'm obsessed with any Chinese athlete. Meanwhile, you guys love our athletes, celebrities, way of life.

BF, the NBA is poised to infiltrate the Chinese Republic not for their talent pools, which, by NBA standards, is mediocre, but for the fact that the Chinese are enamored of our fabulous players and league. This is very fertile ground for the financial and marketing arms the NBA firmly in tends to employ. Big USA Today article on this.

Yes they love the NBA stars, but not much more than that. Americain way of life? Sory you have no idea how Chinese people live their lives.

Amazing how many just assume the Americans are the best athletes...our athletes even have many advantages other countries don't. Still the Chinese are beating us. The U.S. dominates track and basketball but that domination doesn't apply nearly as well to the other sports.
I root for the U.S. but also love to see champions from small countries, they are truely amazing.

What advantages? You realize that China takes their athletes from their families at ages as young as three, moves them to a team center, and trains them 6-8 hours a day, 7 days a week for over a decade and then puts them in the Olympics. It's amazing that they don't win every medal doing that and it's funny that despite all that effort, they're still not that very good at a large number of sports.
It's estimated that 300 million people play basketball in China and they still can't assemble a team to even stay within 30 of the US men.

at the end of the day no body wants to live in china or russia or middle east or canada or africa or any crap hole country.

Yes, I like the ones who did it againest the odds.
Like the South African amputee... a swimmer. The 50 yr old French lady in her 5th Olympics. The German gymnast who at 33 is up againest all the 16 yr olds, while raising a son with leukemia. The Americans have a swimmer in who has cancer and postponed his treatment [doctors said he can to no harm] and he is competing while fighting cancer. Tiny islands like mine, who some have populations as low as 10,000 are in, love them.
We won't medal obviously, but for a micronation that has less that 40,000 people overall as we do - we are happy to be there agianest the big nations. 1 million population islands like Jamaica are huge to us, let alone the big boys like 300 million Americans, and the billion Chinese..so just to be there on a world stage is huge to us.

Like BZ said, China and other nations recruit athletes to be something from a very young age. Not only are the young kids trained 7 days a week, but they're all properly fed and monitored by the state. China chooses from a pool of about 1 billion, yet they still can't beat the US. A chinese basketball player trained his whole life wouldn't be able to hang with a street baller who smokes weed and drinks old english all day..
What makes the US so great? It's pretty much the genetics. The only sport the US can't dominate is soccer because that's more of a skill and endurance sport that anything.

They hate Americans? All 1.3 billion of them? Wow hope they realize such a douchebag speaks for them.
The Chinese I work with here in the US and the ones in the Jing (oh my I said it again!) are very pro US. China has a wonderful history and they all respect that, they however are more than happy to live the modern life.
You seem to be very angry at the US, did they deny you a visa or what

what gold medals are the chinese winning though?
Nobody cares about Ping Pong and that shite

No, it has more to do with the fact that young kids don't give a shit about soccer in the US because there's not any money in it, so parents to don't waste their time.

Do you know why the US is the top of the chain?
This kind of post right here.
Ask Americans how much they care about any OTHER country and it's simple... Americans don't really give a shit.
Is it a bit ignorant? Maybe, but the point is that every other country cares a hell of a lot more about the US than the US cares about them.
The US doesn't give 2 shits about you unless there's something we need from you, so if it's not oil, gadgets, or food, we don't really care so much.
People are always worried about the US though.
Americans are in the heads of EVERY OTHER person in EVERY OTHER country on the planet.

BEIjing, everyone I worked with there called it the same thing THE JING. So the ones I work with don't speak for the majority but you do? Quite the ego you got going there buddy. Are you Chinese by birth? Somehow I doubt it, the Chinese are wonderful polite people, you are none of those.

America should sell all the real estate they're taking up in filthy foreigner's heads.
And as far as "chinese economy booming", i've said it before, i'll say it again.
If someone who makes a million dollars a year (America) , and its' income goes up 1,000 a year, that's only a growth of .001 %.
if someone who makes a thousand a year (China), and its income goes up 1,000 a year, that's a growth of 100%.
America would rather take its .001 than Chinese 100 any day.
Why? Cuz China sucks.

Thanks for answering. I don't disagree with you about the CHinese people and readers of my posts know that I defend them to the hilt. Maybe you should not read selectively. Peoples opions of others difer I really don't care what you think of me. I deal with the local people on many different levels ( government professionals to the local street marketeers) and have never had issues with any. My main pionts have only been on critisnm when the facts are not correct. Your photo's mean nothing to me, avaiable on the net anywhere

Your a tough guy because you challenged him to come to China to find out how many people dont like Americans. ::)
Youve been melting all over this thread, defending China and hating on the U.S. Obviously the U.S. is in your head because you took the time to go on several tirades about how everyone hates us.
If you dont like us, then go fuck yourself, you whiney bitch. Your opinion means nothing here. Hope this helps.

Hate all you want, I don't see anyone doing anything except bitching.
Take all of the polls, the statistics... take it all... do whatever you want to do with it and at the end of the day... Everyone is still worried about the US and the US isn't worried about everyone else.
Welcome to a planetary sized meltdown.

Being why most countries hate you.
They definitely hate the fact that it has taken us only a bit more tha 200 years to surpass the rest of the world in most facets-where many hateful countries have been inexistence for thousands of years.

And you forgot-socker sucks moosecock.
Take it from the Moose ;)

Did anyone see the relay race last night against France, and their big mouths, wow that was insane, the upset in the France swimmers face was awesome and the excitement of the United States winning after so much talk from France.
Phelps got another, tonite on top of breaking a World record.
Looks like as I'm watching the Us will take a silver if lucky in mens' gymnastics

No one cares about per capita... In the medal columns are numbers and none of them is population.
When most of your continent is in "summer" type weather all year long, you should win damn near all of the medals.
Really, it's kind of a shame you don't do better.

Thanks for noticing Kristy at the games, guys! I'm hoping Kristy Coventry can win another medal in the backstroke.... her strongest event. She has a good chance at Gold!
Did you watch the 200m backstroke final? Exceptional performance from her. Not only the gold medal but a new world record as well.
