God looking at medal results tilt me

Yes we earned 10 more medals than China but they earned like 15+ more golds.

Also, the Chinese won 27 gold medals in judged events. Compare this to the U.S. total of 4 gold medals in judged events and you have to believe there is a huge bias based on home country.

I also looked at the type of events China won all their medals in and concluded they just loop-holed their way to the top spot in terms of gold.

If I think about the summer olympics, here are the sports that matter most to me:

1. Basketball
2. Baseball/softball
3. Track and field
4. Swimming/diving
5. Gymnastics
6. Volleyball (higher up the list now but this was before I watched a lot of it)
7. Soccer

Looking at just these sports the U.S. obviously dominated China. However, adding in Judo, table tennis, archery, taekwondo, weightlifting, and badminton sets China over the hump.
