    Has the US ever done so well? What a coup for the American David Bodiah to take a gold medal in platform diving – over the highly favored Chinese! And to see the British kid with the heartbreak story win bronze.
    And the US women’s relay team – no contest!
    Some great moments, but after two weeks I’m ready to return to “normal” and see what’s cooking with the new Days regime.

    the other day that the US always wins the most medals (2,296 since 1986) in the Summer Olympics and that Norway (we are 2nd) usually wins most at the Winter Olympics.

    I think second is France for overall winings.  Wikipedia has an interesting graph of wins for both summer and winter, broken down by gold, silver and bronze for each olympiad.

    You can sort it by country, sport, men, women, etc.

    1st, USA; 2nd, China; 3rd, Russia

    If the US women were a country, they would be third in the medal standings. We’ve come a long way thanks to title 9.
