We do keep up with the medal count and the gold medals, but I have never heard anyone say we 'won' the olympics. But any stretch, this was a poor Olympics for America. Gymanstics didn't perform as well as expected, nor did Women's Soccer, Men's Track & Field, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of online stuff reporting that you guys were choosing to ignore gold medal tallies and only focusing on total tallies. I saw lots of Americans celebrating their un catchable "lead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also one of, if not, the worst Olympics here in terms of viewership. So most likely most of those people didn't watch shit. There was a lot of coverage to the smaller countries that either won their first medal, first gold, or just overcame the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are really down on how America did in the Olympics - I don't really understand anyone caring that much about it. Although, I guess the Super Powers & the Russians who can't say they're competing for Russia really really do care though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
