What a hateful comment, not all the countries 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? 

China has more people and yet we beat them. 

Also, M.P. won more medals than most nations by himself. So numbers isn't everything. Nice try, we are just genetically superior.

There's no doubt you are genetically superior when it comes to covering a wide range of sports.  America is so diverse and basically composes of people from every part of the planet.  it's very hard for a country with just 1 type of genetics to choose from,  especially if their population is also way under 450m. Add to that,  they probably can't afford the investment the Americans can.  

 

I have no problem with American dominance in the Olympics but there are of course a number of reasons for it.
