To the people complaining about China and Table Tennis. Just saw where their medals are from. They are quite varied. In fact the US have most in swimming.
Swimming is physically tough but, breast stroke, back and butterfly? Please, who swims like that in reality that these forms were made up just to find other ways to swim...

US has 16 Gold's in swimming... China has 4/5 or so in a few fields like weight lifting, gymnastics, table tennis etc...

That's 34 ****ing medals from table tennis, trampoline, bb gun shooting badminton and synchronized swimming and diving.

Weight lifting is legit. Rhytmic gymnastics? Not so much.

Plus swimming track and field are the absolute centerpieces of the Olympics. You think Phelps would be top dog if he won every year in table tennis? Not bashing China just making a point about medals and MEDALS.

It is not a bad thing, but just shows you most of the eggs are in one basket and the medals are not as diverse. Just, as you say table tennis or synchronise swimming is not legit, I feel making up forms such as a damn insect such as butterfly is also a joke...


Team GB women's on the verge of getting a Gold medal! She is beating a female from China who is number 1 and beat her 2-1 previously!

It's not 42. First number is Gold, 2nd silver and 3rd number is bronze.

Copy and paste failed.

Synchronised swimming is tough, physically demanding to do the moves and also stay up in the water. Try stay in one spot in water upside down...

BB gun I agree.

Badminton and Tbale Tennis is pretty hard. You need agility and speed. Badminton is particularly taxing on cardio.

But you have to admit there are some **** tier medals and some god tier medals. Like Murray's tennis gold is way more important than ****ing Men's Trampoline. China is just sweeping these **** tier events. The USA has some **** tier medals also but far less.
