27 USA medals.....

[JustOne]

Came from just 6 people..

Michael Phelps 6 (4 gold)
Missy Franklin 5 (4 gold)
Allison Schmitt 5 (3 gold)
Ryan Lochte 5 (2 gold)
Allyson Felix 3 (3 gold)
Dana Vollmer 3 (3 gold)

19 of which were gold.... had they been a Country they'd have come 5th!!!!


If you take out Allyson Felix's 3 golds which were won on the track then they'd still finish 5th with 16 golds.... all from the swimming pool.










If the UK just concentrates on breeding swimmers we will trounce all future Olympics!!! <grin>

How about the rule about "one competitor per nation" that was introduced to stop Britain dominating the cycling, was introduced into the swimming?

Olympic event tailoring is the only way the US of A will keep China at bay. Bring in tennis, bring in golf (probably a mistake based on USPGA!) and anything else that garners success. Throw out baseball (the Yanks can only compete with the Domincans and the Cubans in the MLB when full of steroids, ironically the MLB winners are "world champions"), softball, windsurfing etc.

The IOC is owned by the major sponsors and its no coincidence where they're from....
