Full Medal Count – U.S.A. Surpasses All In Total Number of Medals
Posted by celeborama on August 17, 2008
As of Saturday, August 16th, even with all the underage gymnasts and bronze-throwing tantrums, the U.S.A. individual athletes and teams outstrips the field in total number of medals won at this years Olympic Games. With 57 medals under our belts, I wonder about the chances of China, with 49 total medals, catching up with us anytime soon. Even if they do, it will still be difficult to outshine the huge wins for the amazing U.S. swim team, with Michael Phelps surpassing Spitz’s record gold medal wins for any one set of games. That is one of those feats that will go down in history as the new record to beat – Good luck with that.
Here is the FULL MEDAL COUNT as of latest report.
And boy, those wikipedia geeks are really on top of things…
