Please state your country. No guessing games, please!

I am from the U.S., and l think we did... okay.
Obviously Phelps was glorious, Bryan Clay did us proud, our gymnasts did well but our track athletes were mostly disappointing. The softball team that was supposed to be unbeatable was... beat. Our boxers were knocked out, except for the one nobody expected to get anywhere! We did so-so, l think.

Evaluate YOUR country!

Canada won 18 medals which was decent, but only 3 gold is kinda sad and 1 gold was in Horse jumping

l am from India.This is India is best Olympics ever winning 3 medals (1 gold and 2 bronze) in 108 years.Inspite of non-existent sports system,India did well to be in top 50 and this can open eyes of Indian government which always neglected sports.

All of the athletes from all nations deserve praise.
Without all the competitors there would be no Olympics.

l am an Australian.
Steve Hooker - fantastic
Matthew Mitcham - fantastic
Stephanie Rice - fantastic
Our rowers - fantastic
There are too many great people to list here.

Im an Aussiue,

It wasnt our best games. Some unexpacted results.

The real measure is to divide the population of your country by the number of medlas won to gain a medal per capita result. Or divide the number of medals by GNP to see the cost of each medal.

New Zealand

l predicted
5 gold -
Mahe Dysdale-current world champion
Vili-current world champion shot putter
Mens 4 in rowing-current world champs
Women is double skull-ranked in top 3
BMX- Sarah Walker current world no. 1 & mens divsion

1 silver
Cycling

3 bronze
Men hockey
Wind surfing
Equestiaon medal
Canoeing-Athen silver medalist. there is more.


It ended up being the opposite :(
3 gold, 1 silver & 5 bronze

We had 17 athletes that were ranked in the top 3 in the world in their respective fields.

To me to come away with 9 medals is OK. We sent a team of 182 athletes from a country of 4 million which is by far the largest contingent of any country of this size. We should of done much better than the 9 medals we got. between 10-14 medals.

6/10 for over all performance. But we do as always punch above our weight in sports.

Im sure we can improve this coming London.

The USA.

Dara Torres went to an official poolside & asked them to hold up the finals of the 50m freestyle so that a competitor who had ripped her suit could change.

Michael Phelps stepped aside so that Ian Crocker could be part of the 4x100m freestyle medley relay team, offering Crocker a final chance at gold.

Lolo Jones hit the 7th hurdle & lost a gold medal. As she was talking with the press, making no excuses, not complaining, she congratulated the winners as they walked passed her saying things like, ''Good job sweetie.''

Alicia Sacramone & Shawn Johnson smiled & congratulated their opponents & opposing coaches, never once complaining about the judging or underage Chinese gymnast bruhaha.

Misty May-Treynor & Kerri Walsh went out of their way to slap hands with some of their comptetitors as they switched sides of the net.

Overall, I'd say we did alright..
