How do our black basketball players balls taste?  They seem to be in their players mouths a lot.

[youandme]

The US has twice as many medals as the number 2 country in all of the olympics... USA bitches.

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"...

most of ur athletes are black

So only african americans can boast, its their achievements not yours. (since most USA people here are white)

Yet the 2 gold medals so far have been won by white Americans

On a per capita basis, Australia is the most successful all-round nation at the modern Olympics.

USA POPULATION 300mill     gold 2

Australia POP 20mill            gold 2

that is all

There are many, many days left to go.

Let's revisit this when it's all said and done.

no doubt us will top the medal count. but per capita US wont even be the top 40. Australia will be top 5 overall and top 3 per capita

Quite possibly...

Off topic, but how does Australia do in the Winter games?

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

[CQ]

Australia will be top 5 overall and top 3 per capita

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]

[Hypo]

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.

medal tallies are judged by whatever standards the US sets for counting medals, and at this point in time it's a combined total.

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.

You want to look at medal tallies... Do it from the start of the modern olympiad and add them up.

No one beats the US.

NO ONE.
