GBR is clearly superior. Let me explain the logic again so you yanks can understand.

If we remove your best athlete our two countries are tied for gold medals. If you remove our best athlete you are still way behind! Clearly your nation is inferior.
>> Black ? Star !x8ngkAZjXE

so a tie goes to gb and we just discount our other medals plus get rid of one of our athletes?

Sounds reasonable.

Values of medals should increase exponentially. Golds should be worth 8, silvers 4, and bronzes 2.

GBR then has 88 + 24 + 16, or 128 arbitrary olympic points.
USA sans-Phelps has 88 + 84 + 50, or 222 points.
Phelps himself has 64 points. Even if Phelps was English the USA would still be ahead by 30 points, which is 3 gold medals, one silver, and one bronze.

Technically, if you remove the most athletic 4/5ths of America, Great Britain is leading 11 golds to 0.

And if you took away the most athletic 19/20ths of China, Great Britain would be leading in the medal count.

You could easily make the arguement GBR is winning the Olympics.

I think Americans have better ideals that British people now, and then when you look at how much more crime, murder, obesity, underage pregnancies (that under 16 america) and general uggerness we have here you cant blame us for being slightly jealous. Continental Europe is of course a different story except for those crazy murdering Finns.

Still though, I dont think the USA are doing well at these Olympics considering their population, other countries like Britain are doing far better by way of relation.

Doesn't explain why we have more medals than everyone as we have LESS atheletes sent than china but MORE medals

and we don't have that many more atheletes than quite alot of countries with "small" populations.

But.. you are right, in comparison to other countries China isnt doing that great. If anything they should be taking more medals than they are...

Sports is all about following a team and then showing your support for that team.

This often leads to the discussion on why your team is better than other teams.

In the olympics each team is actually a country. Thus the discussion of which country is better becomes a valid point.

However there are only 2 viable choices for which nation has performed better in the olympics and that's china and America.

it doesn't matter how big the team is. in all the events i've been watching, you have to qualify in individual units BEFORE you compete for a medal

if a country has more competitors who qualify, that just means that country has a greater pool of qualified members, not that they're OMG FLOODING THE MEDAL COUNT
