More money pumped into their Olympic team than any other nation?
DisorderlyChaos
Is that including or excluding the citizen of Atlantis (Phelps)?

Would probably make more sense to look at it per capita. Less absolutes. And because I'm evil like that.

Carmelo Anthony's speech at the end of the gold metal game was, for me, the best part of the games.

In every other nation defence, your team was absolutely huge and covered almost every sport that ran
ACanadianLostInAustralia
So does this mean that America is great again?

"We kicked ass" ...well I sure as hell did my part, eating doritos, drinking beer and yelling at my TV. You're welcome everyone.

The American way
bananaranga
Claiming ignorance to the fact that the US has more athletes competing than most nations (all?)
raincitycolin
We Have 350 million people if we didn't get that many medals that would be unpatriotic yet were like 20th in medals per capita... Don't 1/2
raincitycolin
Quote me on exact placement just a guestimate on previous numbers
ExileonDaytonStreet
Donald Trump would like to remind you that we never win anymore.
gregclark1
Yes brilliant but Britain with a Fifth of population is second with half the medals .
Blodgarmpls
People keep saying this, but it's not the only factor. Money pumped into the programs is far more important.

Come back for the non wuss Winter Olympics

Where Americas little brother Canada shines.

Does help that your biggest competitor was mostly removed from the Olympics of course
DrForester
Russia isn't really as competitive as they once were. China would be the bigger Summer Olympic challenger to the US.
Nuttsy
Technically, removed itself by virtue of fucking up.

Americans are all pigs?
oldelidog
Pigs with medals, tho...
TheBadDad
Stanford and Cal had enough medals alone to place 5th in the world.
fredgiblet
Phelps has more swimming golds than any country except the US and Australia.
RBBaker
I love my country and I'm pleased the US athletes did well. But bragging on the medal count seems antithetical to the spirit of this event.
GarbledMouthfull
Don't forget the massive pay check they receive for every medal they collect.
ChrisThrasher
Human race is like that. Look how superior we are! No, we are the superior ones! Bs. We are the best! Etc. Etc.
TroelsyTwo
Of course you'll do well with your population size. lol Your size, you should probably have got more.
RBBaker
You're making my point D-Marky Mark.
GarbledMouthfull
1.3 billion people in china and they performed worse than the <65 million people of GB.
TroelsyTwo
Yes, so they did worse. Denmark managed 15 medals and we're only 5.5 million. :S
