    The US needs to start finding people in some of these other sports because China is picking up a bunch of cheap ass golds.

    Lol yeah, but that's just a microcosm of the real reason. There is matches every few minutes around the world. All on YouTube. And they only last a few minutes.

    I find all of it really funny lol.

    I don't know why anyone would be pissed at the Algerian boxer... she kept a gold out of China's hands. That's a win!

    the opening ceremony had a dude in a gimp suit with his nuts hanging out. I highly doubt the Olympics cares about the x,y,z chromosomes of their athletes.

    Isn't women's ball the last event? Can't we only tie China in golds now if we win?

    I think Italy is ranked #1 in the world in Volleyball. Not surprising that they beat the USA.
