I'm thrilled to see how wonderfully the United States of America seems to be doing. PhilG, thanks for the breakdown.Hopefully from here on out the USA can we some of those Gold Medals over from China. That'd really be something.Go Us.
Way out here in Fiji we follow the games through TV NZ rebroadcast by Fiij TV One, and what is really dumbfounding is that we know how most countries (US, GB, Jamaica Russia etc) are getting their medals - but China's medal tally keeps rising each day, but the TV coverage is NOT showing where those medals are coming from and how - sorry but it is curious!
Since this is about TOTAL number of medals, I think it may still be too close to call. - There are three ways you could look at the statistics: In TOTAL number of medals (gold, silver and bronze) the US are winning. By number of GOLD medals, China is a mile ahead, having a disproportinate number of golds. (Home ground advantage?) And if you weight it (gold=3 points, silver=2 points, bronze= 1 point,) China wins.
Go to ANY news/sports related website and they will have a complete breakdown.
if you go to www.drudgereport.com they have a medal count link that will lead you to the answers you seek....
