200 extra athletes for 1 extra gold medal lead... How pathetic!
Apparently China with a population of over a Billion has an athlete shortage.
How about India?
On another note, eventhough we came 4th behind Japan, we perfromed fairly well. Eventhough we had alot of disappointments in fields we are normally strong in.
Still good to see that we remain the powerhouse of sports/olympics in Europe.
We win, we are 2nd place among 206 nations and regions.chinese almost won, thanx joe
Dont know why some non Chinese members here are even arguing up and down with the chinese over the US topping the medal tables.
Its actually normal for Chinese members on here to be sour and bitter, since China came second. In fact its only during the beijing games that China had more golds than the US. Which was expected since countries organizing the olympics have a big advantage since they can choose more fileds they are good in to be included in the Olympics. Reason Japan came 3rd this year ahead of us.
Anyway,the US has always topped the medals table since the beginning of the olympics, only the USSR has beaten the US in medals table(both golds and total medal counts) a few times.
If anything China has actually done well to come so close to the US in gold medals (though still a long way to go in total medal counts),eventhough they still fell short of the US at the end.
To be honest, this was actually one of the worse US performance in Olympic history. The fact that they still came up 1st even after such a bad performance shows just how deep the US talent pool/sports performance is as a country. It will ne a while for China to catch up to this. The vast gap in the total medal count says alot about this even more .
On another note, eventhough we came 4th behind Japan, we perfromed fairly well. Eventhough we had alot of disappointments in fields we are normally strong in. I was actually happy to see that our athlete's bagged medals in so many different fields from individual events to team events in so many varieties of fields. Still good to see that we remain the powerhouse of sports/olympics in Europe.
Hong Kong is part of China...no? Still match US
