I don't think we will but I hope we get closer to them. The bball team men and womens still can medal, the sand volleyball teams, the mens water polo team

Ouch, that's a pretty big lead. I don't think the Americans will catch up.

No just be less greedy and be happy with what position you're already in... give a little credit to China who have spent billions into making these games the great success they've been so far... if it wasn't for Phelps ( a few lucky wins included) you would have been 8 Gold medals down in the medals table...

Athens 2004- US came first

Sydney 2000- US came first

Atlanta1996- US came first

Barcelona 1992- US came second

give everybody else a chance!!!! There's more to the world than just America you know geeeeze

in fact 204 nations this olympics!

There is still 6 more days and more than 17 medal ceremonies, theres more than 17 ceremonies just for Track and Field left.....anythings possible. I believe the men's and women's basketball team, the softball team, the men's and women's beach volleyball team, and possibly the men's and women's water polo team will all win gold. That's 7 right there.

looks doubtful

-----------

SO I DID A LITTLE EXCEL WORK ON THE MEDAL COUNTS

I DONT KNOW WHAT EVENTS ARE LEFT THOUGH

2004 305 Gold Medals awarded

The U.S. won only 35 there, lower than what China already has

so far in 2008 there have been 185 G awarded

Plenty of Gold to go, but i don't know for what events

No, and no China is not cheating, if anyone is cheating it's the Americans with all their steroids.

I think the US will win the most medals total, but not be able to catch China's gold medals. I believe there are a lot of biased judging in this years olympics, especially in the gymnastics. (EX: woman's vault apparatus: Chinese girl falls and still places over American who did not)

i really dont know, our last hope is track and field, but track and field is usually dominated by smaller countries like jamaica, kenya, etc.

usa gets medals in it, and china alot of the time doesnt,so theres a 15% chance we might catch up

but im doubtful after the crappy scoring system in favor of chinese gymnasts

who cares about how many golds they have,they cheated half the time to get them.

So USA should be happy to know that they won all their gold medals fairly.

Don think so.

The US is running out of time and a 17 deficit might just be enough

The rest of the world guffaws up its sleeve at the way Americans resort to "They have more golds than us - they MUST be cheating!". It's just what they expect of a country that can't bear to lose. And how do you cheat at archery anyway?

China has invested a fortune, from an explosively booming economy, in one ambition: getting more gold medals at their own Olympics than any other nation. Absolutely no-one else on Earth can see evidence of cheating (how does Bela Karolyi know what a 13-year old Chinese girl looks like anyway? doesn't he realize they're a much smaller race than Americans?). It's just sour grapes, and it makes the whole process more enjoyable for everyone else watching.

No, they won't catch up with the Chinese. But they'll certainly get the most bronzes!

It is a difficult feat to accomplish but it is possible.

It's a stretch, but I would not count them out yet because USA should take a lot more golds in track and field (about 30-40 events still left) that China will be nearly nonexistent in. You also have men's and womens basketball (easy 2 gold for USA), volleyball (1 or 2), soccer (maybe 1), water polo (1 or 2), softball/baseball (2 or 3), etc

Could get interesting...

Probably not. The chinese athletes have had their entire government resources at their disposal. While USA relies on private donors. This was supposed to be Chinas coming out party. to show the world their athletes can compete with the worlds best, no matter what. They want to prove they are so good that they have shown that they are willing to go around the rules. Like with the underage gymnast. Thats why they put so much and did so much to show a perfect image. I read that they even carted all the homless away from the venues.

I think Chna's awesome rgardless. And whether you agree with their politics, the people themselves are beautiful and fantasic. I live near China town and they are great. But USA still Rocks!!!!
