Will USA be able to get more gold medals than China?

Question

More medals ofcourse would be awarded to US, but can US cover the gap of gold medals that China has?

Answer 1

I count 42 medals to be awarded Saturday and Sunday. There were 22 at the start of Friday, but I don't know how many of those have already been awarded.

The possibility certainly exists that the US could beat China, but it that really depends on how things play out the next couple days.

EDIT

Laura B: That is such an ugly attitude. Quit being spiteful because athletes who trained in the US are winning medals for their home country. Instead, maybe you should take pride in the fact that the US has the ability to turn out so many top athletes.

Answer 2

no way china has too many golds we would have to win like evry other gold medal left

Answer 3

It is highly unlikely..........

Answer 4

I doubt it. Communists love gold.

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

As much as i want to say yes, it's almost impossible.

Answer 7

No chance lol Chinas too far ahead

Answer 8

not likely

i would be surprised to see the U.S. go over 40 Gold

Answer 9

I don't think there's enough time, plus all that's left are things like martial arts and dwarf tossing.  We're not good at that stuff.

Answer 10

No, it's not realistic.  Oddschecker has China listed at 1-100 favorites, approximately 99% chance to win the most gold medals.  The gap is currently 16, but China will get one more gold medal tonight as the women's singles table tennis gold medal match is between Zhang Yi Ning and Wang Nan, and they are very close to the 50 gold medal mark.  It's very unrealistic the U.S. will win 20 gold medals within a little over 2 days given that they had only won 30 gold medals up to this point.

Answer 11

wow, thumbs down for the person above...

America is a mix of people coming from everywhere.  There are no true americans except for the natives.  so to say Jamaicans bit the hand that feeds you, means that all american bite the hands of Africa, Britain, France, Italy, and dun dun dun even china because all I see are chinese coachs.

Answer 12

I don't think so but if the girl gymnast is found underage then the gold gap will go from 16 to 12.  

Answer 13

Don't worry, IOC has been informed to prepare more gold metals to give away for those people who could not accept the reality.

free, for hard feeling championships....

Answer 14

Nope. China has more great athletes plus they compete at their home and the current gap for gold medal is way to far behind to US catch up.

Answer 15

Not possible anymore

Answer 16

Well, that gap is closing with Track and Field going on!  d**n Jamaicans are getting in the way, though.  It pisses me off, bc all the Jamaicans came and ran at American Universities, and you know they got scholarships.  So we drag them out of poverty, and give them an education, and then they go win medals for Jamaica.  Way to bite the hand that feeds you.  We oughtta stop paying for their a s s e s to come here.

Answer 17

Yeah,  I think they will catch up wiz China during Paralympic Games.

Answer 18

Nope... almost no chance.
