I put the medal count for all the countries in a previous post, but wanted a separate one for the United States. Again, the Closing Ceremonies are tonight so things may change just slightly, but the fact is that Team USA did the best (despite the stupid actions of a few athletes outside the Olympics - at least our Government didn't force us to use illegal substances that will forever tarnish our reputation. The US got 118 total medals (that's 52 more total medals than the second best country.) Out of that 118 the US got 43 gold medals (that's 16 more gold medals than the second best country.) Makes you wonder why any other countries or teams wasted their time and money to show up. Just like everything else in the world leave it to the US to show you how it's done. Hopefully, we can continue this winning streak in the Paralympics which start September 18th.
