Looking at the medal tally USA have heaps of silver and bronze.

Silver and bronze are losers.

Not the way that Bronze was hard fought for… it was like gold to them rugby gals …. One team have medals to show for it another team none.

I thought it was very moving to see an Irish swimmer Daniel Wiffen win gold in swimming…

How many gold medals has Ireland won in swimming?
three swimming gold medals
Ireland is reveling in its Paris aquatic moment. Going into the men's 800 free, the country has just three swimming gold medals in its history; they were all won by Michelle Smith at the 1996 Games.

Tonight BMX finals…

News clips from US MSM gloriously praise US as the leading performer at the Olympics which is the opposite of the truth.

In fact the USA is the leading loser at 7th rank in Gold medals.

Because they have the most medals it is not a sign of being a winner, it is just a sign of the fact they have more Olympic competitors than any other country and therefore enter more events and enter multiple competitors in events.

China is the best performer according to gold medals relative to team size.

At the current 16.7% rate of gold to total medals the USA might not win more than 20 gold medals.

Olympic team sizes:

1. United States - 592
2. France - 573
3. Australia - 460
4. Germany - 428
5. Japan - 403
6. China - 388
7. Spain - 383
8. Italy - 371
9. Great Britain - 327
10. Canada - 315
11. Brazil - 274
12. Netherlands - 258
