China: Kicking Our Olympic Ass

Take a look at the medal count below. Notice anything upsetting?



Oh, what's that? China's kicking our ass! Sure, we have one more medal than them, but who cares. They have 8 more gold medals than we do. Better yet, where would we be without Michael Phelps? Well, he's given us five gold medals*, so subtract those and we move down from 2nd to 5th. We really need to our act together, we even have illegally underage gymnast stealing our golds. (That's up for debate, but that's another issue.)

*I realize that two of those five are relay medals, and are thanks to the whole US swim team, but I'm trying to make a point here, so back off.

Godspeed.

It's still early... just wait until the track and field events start, and then we'll see who's ahead!

Hopefully; but since writing this, China has gone from 18 to 22 golds, and we've stayed put at 10...
