In USA^x

Don't forget that the USA are actually ahead in total medals, it's just China have considerably more gold medals.

Yep, fair point Shaki, I wonder if Great Britain have been doing the same since they will be holding the next one :)Looking at the table where would the USA be without Michael Phelps?

8 out of 8 AND 7 world records and 1 Olympic record too. Pretty impressive. He's now got half of the USA's 16 golds! I'm not saying that he is the greatest sportsman ever but he's an elte athlete.
