There are 16 events in gymnastics and 34 for swimming, so it's not like the U.S. doesn't benefit from medal-heavy sports.

I think you win the 2008 olympics by getting out of China without:


1. Getting harassed by Internal Security for surfing the web

2. Getting a permanent respiratory ailment

3. Getting randomly stabbed by a guy who then jumps off a bridge

4. SARS

5. Asking for duck sauce or where the nearest Panda Express is

China will probably win the Medal Count but the USA will win the most medals for actual physical sports.

Yes, you are correct. You can win BOTH the internet AND the olympics at the same time! Here is proof.

Ya. I'm surprised at how bad we're doing. I think Curling should be moved to the Summer Games, that way we're almost gauranteed 1 Gold! :D

You could petition to add log rolling to the game... or maple syrup making. Or some event wherein you attempt to dodge moose while in a moving vehicle... kinda like moose slaloms.

I watched the Mens' 200M freestyle relay... Losing by more than 7 seconds is just embarrassing. I blame the last guy. The third one caught up pretty well to give us a fair shot at a medal. The last guy just wasn't good enough.
