United States wins over China

Despite all the crap about project 119, USA took over the medal count at the end of week 1 and now, in the last day of the Games, USA has a guarantee of winning the medal count.


Currently:

USA	107
China	98

with 9 medals remaining.

Congrats Team USA! Also, congrats to China for taking the most golds which is the winning indicator there.


If this interests you, though, I read an article that took out all the judged medals such as gymnastics and boxing and it was a tie in golds with USA and China.

But they lead the Gold count...

doesnt matter. we took home more hardwear!

Well China should have the highest gold count. Their population accounts for one third of the world.

1/5th.

But when you look at the breakdown, China won most of their medals in subjectively judged sports, such as gymnastics, diving etc, while the US won most of their medals in Objective sports, like track. Until you can find a way to eliminate judges biases and cheating in those subjective sports, I don't think they should be in the olympics.

Ah, close enough.

They ruled ping pong/badminton/weightlifting too.

Boxing is also subjective

yea fuck boxing, that shit isn't the real stuff

I wanna see knockouts, not pussies swiming for points

most people determine success in over all medals, not just golds.
