You did, but American college sports really don't matter. There's no football in the Olympics (obviously) and the US basketball team sucks because they're pros who play half-ass to prevent getting an injury because they're playing for free. Not many universities have intercollegiate Taekwondo, weightlifting, waterpolo or rifle shooting. The US is number 3 in world pop. but the difference between it and number 2, India, is massive. But India sucks in the Olympics.....

I do think that the college and schools take a big part in it though. Then you are a country that really likes it's sports too, and you are relatively free. It does make sense, is still quite good though.

I just watched some boring horse riding, what the hells this doing at the Olympics, not really a sport is it apart for the horses input.
Might as well put chess in it as well.

it takes skill to control the hourses, the rider IM pretty sure has to be in pretty good shappe too not to weight down the horse, it does require athletic skill

The US technically wins the medal count if they have 50 medals and China have 40 medals, but if the US only has 50 bronze and China has 40 gold, it doesnt mean shit who has the most.
Currently Australia is 6th with
5 4 7 Total 16
Korea is 3rd
6 7 3 Total 16
If we get another gold, we'll still be under Korea even though we have more medals.
On topic - China is on fire, everytime I check the count, they've earned another 5 or so gold. Hate to think what they'd be on if they had a better swimming team.
