First of all let me tell you , I am not anti american. Few of my favourite players Lance Armstron, marion jones, Andre Agassi all are americans. Yeah I am not scared to tell spade a spade. I believe Michael Phelps is the best swimmer in the world but isnt greatest olympian compared to his own compatriot Carl Lewis or Sir Steve Redgrave. The opinion is entirely of my own.
But I find it really amusing that some of the US media are trying to portray how they have been best team even in this olympic. One reporter came and told that US have again proved that they are the best sporting team and won against every sporting nation. Some of the top US media are on mission to rpove that they have won the olympic and changed the medals tally that suits them the most.
A gold is a gold and even thousands of bronzes won't be able to better them. Probably thats why there are no national anthem for team winning silvers and bronzes. Even one of the US channel themselves made fun of their own news channel CNN. It urged media to just to accpet the fact rather than try to falsify its citizen wrongly .
Just look at the table. France are stilling right in between german, Australia , korea and other countries with just 5 gold.
