@ Chas4:

Are you sure you get my point? Most media around the world including Olympic official site rank according to the number of winning GOLD medals, but US media rank according to total number of medals, this way it can still put itself as #1. :D

Check out the official Olympic site:

@ April:

You are correct....China is #1, and amazingly UK at #3......but all in all regardless of whatever spin different countries media put on it, a fantasic games and well done to the Chinese nation!

Chas4 21. August 2008, 13:50

@ April that is correct, I also have to give credit to the Chinese they are doing very well, the US may have more medals but China is doing the best at geting the Gold

Aprilsnow 22. August 2008, 01:52

@tonybrookes + @Chas4:

Thank you both. China has 1/5 of the world population so don't be surprised to see China has more gold medals. Besides the competition I think China also cares a lot to be a good host. This is because 1)Chinese culture and 2) Chinese really want the world to understand China better. That's why while we Chinese complain the government spent a lot money for the Olympics at the same time people also volunteer to help out, hundreds of thousands volunteers in Beijing.

UK is doing very well, and London will be the next host, wish you good luck! :up: I think USA may eventually catch up with the gold medals since China is not strong in track and field competition, I guess. I am not a real sports fan but I do like watching Olympics because it's a chance to see people from different parts of the world.

Cheers! :cheers:

Don't fight on china and usa. It will be india in the next olympic games with its position within top 5. That time it may also be possible that usa could be seen at number 10th position.and also i predict that china will also see its downfall in the next olympics to be held in london.

Argentina was afraid of Nigeria in the last football game (Gold Medal Game). Did anybody notice how they embarked on delay tactics after they scored a lone goal, praying at the same time that the match end quickly for them to rest? Nigeria Dream Team 4 is the team to watch in the international football field from now forward. Bravo Siasia !

Shubham2008 26. August 2008, 21:41

What else nigeria has other than a good team in football?so it could only hope for medals in football and some other small sports. But it could not make it at football. Oh so so sorry!!!!.@tobnwannem
