Maybe so to an extent but the fact we won more medals means we have a broader range of talent then they do.

And they cheated in Gymnastics sooo...lol

At the end of the day it's judged on the amount of golds so technically China did better.

But like some people have already highlighted, China won alot of medals in judged based events and since you always get home advantage maybe China won't do so well in London 2012.

Overall though I'd say China did better than everyone.


I'm in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts.
Cause I don't care if I lose my mind, I'm already cursed.

USA, USA has better real atheltes than China. at the end of the day it was Phelps who touched the wall before the French, it was Kobe Bryant who shut up every Spanish fan, the american who showed true athletism and ran the 400m and finished 1st. The Chinese team relied on judges and scandals.. they got help from the judges, they are a disgrace, this is what happens when you host a olympics in a communist country.
