US has 530 participants. Shit, nevermind. GB has 541 already, more then the USA.. France 191, Germany 392, Spain 282, then all the other EU countries?? Those four alone total 1406 participants, almost 3x the US number in four countries?? Those 4 countries at almost 3x the participant pool have 50 medals so far, the US best sports are not even medal-ed yet and we are at 37.. China is the one rocking at per capita of medals at 380 people.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics |

Your argument is reeruned.
If the national race is what you care about, then GOLD is the only thing that counts. Nothing else. Just gold. If our best doesn't win giold, then who cares about who else didn't make it. You are presuming I give a rat's ass about the fake, unrealistic, nonexistic "world champ" race. I don't. I also don't care about making sure we crown the truly deserving 3rd-place finisher. If this was a real world NOC team competition, there should be no nation limits and we should have some sort of handicap for nation size/wealth. We don't, instead, there are some nation limits for the sake of some diversity, and because of that, its IMPOSSIBLE to crown a "overall olympic champion country", though if we want to try, again, its probably the European Union, every single time. Because of that, this should be, ONLY seen as an individual competition. Period. End of discussion. If you are among the U-S-A, U-S-A bunch who want to Jingoistically cheer for national superiority, then dont dig too far into what is fair. Since I don't give a crap about being fair to the true deserving bronze medalist, I don't care if one nation has the 3 best and one is left out.

The EU would be the one getting handicapped though per my link.. GB has more people in the Olympics then the US, then add everyone else it would be 6 to 1 in the EU's favor.. China is the only real competitor(they are winning) against the US for medal per participant.. |

So if all i knew of the Olympics was from NBC, i would think there were only two events. Gymnastics and swimming.
