yeah but overall doesn't count in standings. The one with the most gold medals wins
if you do it by score (gold=3, silver=2, bronze=1) I think the us might still be winning

Oh really, that's interesting, what if you'd go by a score of Gold = 15, Silver = 7.8 , Bronze = 2 and just starting = 0.123.
Who's first then? hmm
Yeah, I missed them too, mainly because I'm a pretty casual watcher of it. I've been keeping up to date on the medal count via this - http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml

Essentially China (81) has the roughly the same number of medals as the USA (83) except they simply have a G: S: B ratio of 3:1:2 instead of 1:1:1.

Bolt and Phelps make me go, "Woof!".
What do people think of the International Olympic Committee president's comments that Bolt shouldn't be show-boating after races out of respect to the rest of the field? Personally, I love it! He's so calm and relaxed before his races, and then he really enjoys the wins. I think that's a great way of encouraging kids to get involved in sport.
