If you look at the right side of the website, you see a list of medals whereas America has 31 gold with a total of 102 medals while china has 47 gold with a total of 89 medals.


What do you think?

You better thank me Steven for bumping this thread that obviously failed, but since there's like NO topic to post in, I decided to come back to this one to post.

It's all about cultural beliefs. Chinese/Asians have that mentality to be the best. 2nd isn't good enough, and trying isn't going to do it. Just like our parents when we bring home our report card and we get 5 A's and 1 B+. The parents look at the B+ and yell at you, instead of looking at the 5 A's and praising you. Oppose to the American culture and belief, trying is all that matters. That's why Chinese people are winning so many medals. Also let's take into account how many Chinese people are participating in these events making their % of winning higher as compare to small countries with only 10 people in the Olympics representing their country.
