America proves yet again the other countries just don't have what it takes to compete.

What a hateful comment. Yes not all the countries can invest the amount of money US invests to win so many medals and not many countries have 450 milions of people on them.

Just as an example, my country has 1/10 of the US population and is getting... 1/10 of the medals. Weird right? 

I don't agree with the poster you replied to (his arrogance is rude and unsportsmanlike), but I would like to point out that the USA population is only 319 million and the government does not sponser athletes. They must either compete in professional leagues or attain sponsership deals with companies to make a living.
