28 medals for an underachieving USA team. Not bad.

Nevermind.

We don't care about the same sports that the rest of the world care about. I don't know what's so complicated about this. We couldn't possibly give less of a s**t about speedskating, or the vast majority of Winter or Summer Olympic sports, and we still have more than twice the amount of medals in the Summer/Winter Olympics (2,681) than the next closest country.

You are defending the Dutch coaches argument.

And LOL @ celebrating being the first and second loser, especially when you have 5x as many competitors as the rest. So you are admitting the USA needs 5x as many chances as others to finally win.

Talk about having a losers mentality. "But but but we won the AFC title 5 times!" Some of you sound like Denver Broncos fans. Sad.

Who the hell is this 1981 person, and why is he so ridiculous? Where are you from, strange person?

just like last olympics where u had a few more medals, and we had more golds and the 2 golds we want more than any mens and womens hockey.

In the last two Olympics the Americans racked up a tonne of Bronze. Almost half their medals were bronze.

5 more golds for canada and 11 fewer total medals than the USA in the last winter olypimcs. 11 is more than a few. Considering canada had the host country boost and their passion for winter sports, one might think they sorta underachieved in the total medal count.


And it was the last "winter olympics". The last olympics was the London games. Where we completely obliterated the opposition in Gold medals and total medal count.


Where the hell is canada in the summer olympics, anyway? Pitiful performances, every time.

Eh. China had more Golds and Medals per Olympian

If Shaquille O'Neal takes 500 more free throws than Michael Jordan, of course he'll probably finish with more made shots.
