I'm pretty sure this will be the last Olympics US tops the medal table since we are rapidly improving in swimming. Once we close the gap in swimming and athletics, US will be lucky to get close to us. Hopefully we increase our investments in these 2 sports. We had alot of retirements after 2008, so new and inexperienced faces were competing in 2012. I'm also encouraged that we now have finalists in women's field events like shot put, discuss, hammer throw, javelin, mens and women's walking, etc.
We have more medalists in track cycling and rowing. We are getting better in wide variety of sports.

US had a near perfect olympics and we had a relatively poor Olympics (gymnastics, weightlifting, shooting), but we are still very close to the US. We have 37 golds, that would be good enough to win future Olympics I think.

This loss should motivate us to get even better and put more resources into sport to top the medal table again like we did in 2008.

You ignore our own losses, this Olympics has been far from perfect for the US. In any case, you are free to dream, 4 years is a fairly long time away so anything could happen...

All we can do is wait to see what happens in 2016

It will always be an unequal battle for the Chinese in this Olympics and future ones. Arch rival the USA has a complimenting mix of athletes where white dudes dominate the pool and black dudes the track. I can see China catching up in the pool but we are not built to run against blacks. Lu Xiang, Im afraid is an aberation as no one has really stepped up since his gold in Athens.

Im not saying that China will not top future olympics, I actually believe in the contrary as Chinese discipline and strong work ethics is unmatched. Its just that having some black dudes makes it a lot easier for the USA to be considerably more competitive

stop using race to disregard hard work and discipline.

WTF is this. BOUDIA David is allowed to repeat a dive, after claiming that he was irritated by camera shots. Only after a short time the juries gave him the OK. Cmon **** this. The gold medal is lost.

edit: Now he is narrow on the first place after his retry.

It doesn't matter, since China only has the gold medal decline less than 30% after not playing in its hometurf, while it is expected to see UK to have more 70% in the Rio Olympic Games.

Let's see how they can keep winning without any cheating.
