Why do you believe that The United States is not in rank 1 but 2 in gold count ?

Question

Do you really believe those websites,tv?

Answer 1

Because that is approved by IOC.  

Answer 2

i believe china payed off all the judges on ever judged event they won. This is what i think.

Answer 3

The US has fewer medals because we don't compete in every event.  China being the host nation automatically gets into every event and in a lot of them compete against themselves.  Look at womens weight lifting and womens archery.  The Chinese make up over half the competitors.  The US has no interest in those events so we don't enter them.

Just because we find 1 person to enter it doesn't mean that we take it as seriously as China who enters many people.

Answer 4

China cheats

Answer 5

Because China is ridiculously good at diving and gymnastics.  It helps with bias judges also.

Answer 6

FYI, US competes in 27/28 events while china competes in 28/28 of the sports. So, yea, only 1 event difference and china's got like 16 more golds. That doesn't sound right to me according to ur theory mr. top contributor

Answer 7

I believe there are at least three factors.

1. Home field advantage has some effect as in no time zone adjustments.

2. The Chinese athletes are trained from age 3 in some cases and are pretty much owned by the state.

3. They have more people to choose from so the odds of finding someone physically superior are greater.

Answer 8

No, I believe that the USA has 100 Gold medals, and China only has 3.

Of course we're suppose to believe the websites!! they would get in trouble if they are giving out the wrong medal count.

We can't always get what we want, China is leading in Gold and we should accept that. Atleast we are leading overall.

Answer 9

Because China has 46 gold and the USA has 29.

The USA does however have 4 of the top ten multiple medal winners, whilst China only has 2 of the top ten multiple medal winners.
