As far as medal hauls go, the U.S performance here is actually one of their best ever. 110 medals is the most they've ever won at a foreign Olympics and 36 Golds is right on their average for the last few Olympics. China's increased medal haul came largely at the expense of countries like Russia.
Indeed, it's not the USA that has fallen, but former power houses like Russia and Germany. They're still strong, but definitely not what they used to be.
US **** up too much on the track + some other events. Huge *** up on track though. Can't blame anyone for that haha. If everything was right in track they probably would win the gold medal chase.
What did they choke in track?
100m?
200m?
Relays?
They got pwned by Jamaica
They won the 400m
Anything about 800m is out of their reach and belong to the Russians and east Africans.
US choked in a quite a few events, but so did China.
