If you take into account representation, Jamaica is the #1 performer in these games. They sent only 59 athletes, as opposed to the US and China whom both sent nearly 700 olympians

onyinye2:

Last time i checked. . . Team USA had 31 golds. . . . and Jamaica has only six.

savanaha:

The way the US makes it having more medal is better than having the most gold however, that is an untruth. Gold is always stronger. If they had more gold no one would hear the end of it.

Maybe am just bitter because watching the olympics in the US is not as fun as they only show events they are in or will do the best in. Forgetting they it is a worldwide event.

presido1:

The balance of power is shifting in everyffin, previous Olympics US tops in all medal but the reverse is the case now.
US version of the medal table placed them on top of china while the IOC table placed china on top.
Is it not jealousy that they created another table outside the official OIC table.
This shows how arrogant the Americans can be at times.

Who is watching the closing ceremony, The Benchmark is too much for London 2012.

onyinye2:

Blah Blah Blah it is all about the TEAM USA. They came in dominating and breaking records. I'm extremely proud of my country and all the hardwork they put in and the determination they kept throughout.

I have to give my props to China, they tried. . . . even if they cheated in gymnastics. Goes to show they needed a 12 year old acting like a 16 year old just to beat USA because they are just that good.

All in all. . . . it goes to show that USA will continue to dominate as it should. Call it arrogance. . . . while we call it Being An American.

Has it been proven that the Chinese cheated with the underage girl or is it still speculation? Even if the gold medal is stripped from the Chinese they will still be on top for gold medal count with out the gymnastics gold medal. Frthermore, when Marion Jones was winning all the fake gold medal no one suspected her till years after. She was on every headline news world wide for running amazingly but I bet you when she was found out for taking performance enhancement drugs many people didn't hear about it.

I do not call it Jelousy, I call it PRIDE!!!

As You can see China was the one that cheated USA in the gymnastics!!!

USA play fair all long!!!

SeanT21:

This is not about their age, Its about Performance. The Judges cheated Nastai Lukin. He should have gotten the gold but the Dear Judges give her a lower point than the Chinese Girl that did worse than her.

presido1:

The Judges are appointed by IOC and not Chinese Govt, how did you know that the Judge who cheated your country man is from china? Marion Jones is no cheat i guess, Very soon we will hear about Mike Phelp
Accept it that China prepared berra and performed berra. How ever big your pride is IOC table is the official one.

Can u proof the highlighted? why is it only in American media? Until IOC confirms that just keep mute about it.
Last i checked the Gold medal diff is in double figure(15) so the 12 yr old boy won 15 golds to beat US.
Am having a laugh.

Why don't you go and look at all the Chinese who were prohibited from playing these summer Olympics.

Oka which 12 year old boy?
Ha ha look at this one talk. You are now showing your true colors. Thanx for mentioning Micheal Phelps. I had suspicions over your post but now that you mentioned him. . . . you cleared them all up. Thank You Very Much. You did well.

presido1:

You mentioned 12 yr old, weda boy or gyl makes no diff. Why won't u be suspicious, if your mind is clear about him i don't think u will suspect me.
You were suspicious because we have the same thing in mind about the dude.

savanaha:

Exactly, they were prohibited unlike Marion who was not banned but ran like she did it on her own. Even I cheered and was amazed by her. It turns out I was cheered for steroids.

Oka im completely lost.

The latest rumors are surrounding various Chinese swimmers, who placed much higher in the 4X100 relay than expected. The Chinese team was ranked 39th in the world coming into the event, but will enter the finals as the #1 seed, after posting the best time in the qualifying heats. Is this a case of sour grapes, and merely an attempt by the American media to cast doubt on an inspirational performance by the Chinese? Doubtful. More than 30 Chinese swimmers failed drug tests in the 1990's, and the Chinese haven't been legitimate #1 contenders in swimming in recent years, so there's definitely something fishy about this first-place finish.

debosky:

'definitely' is a pretty certain term don't you think? 'Likely' would be a more suitable adjective, based on current evidence, they might simply be the product of intense training and preparation, or drug use - there's nothing 'definite' about either case.
