I was watching television with my family, and suddenly one US reporter said, " we have again proved the world that we are the best sporting nation ". All of my family burst into laughter after hearing that.
I know so far with 30 golds US are very far behind China with 46. World knows it. So why is there a constant effort by US media to prove that they are number one sporting nation in the world. Don't make laughing stock out of yourself and accept the fact that China are the new superpower in sports.
I went through few American websites, and found that in every website they have put US on top , purely because they have won more medals ( lot of bronzes and silvers).
I have just one advice, being second is not mean achievement. That is very commendable performance. But try to prove you are still in top is ludicrous . Every American media suffers from this egocentric disease.
Funny thing is I went to the past olympics medals table on the archive and found out they have sorted out according to the total number of gold medals won. So why in this olympic they have decided to sort it out by the total number of medals won.
Don't be surprised from the next olympics if they sort out the medals based on the number of medals won in swimming pool. Because in their most fancied athletics they have been already been struck by lightning Bolt.
