We already have a medal sweep in women's fencing! Go US!

Originally posted by FabianFnasOk genius, then why isn't India kicking some Olympic ass? For that matter, why isn't China winning every event? You should really think a bit before your post stupid comments.
When there are 240 millions of USAers to chose athlets from, how hard can it be to get medals?

When the olympics are over, I'll do a table over how many medals each country is taking in relation to their respecitve population. I don't think US will top that list. Perhaps I'm wrong.
