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. 

I would agree that being so genetically diverse gives the USA a solid advantage, and a large population is nothing to sneeze at either.

However, our population is 319 million not 450 million. I'm still confused as to where people are getting the 450 million from. Also, the American government doesn't invest anything in the athletes. They must secure sponsership from companies, join professional leagues, or pay their own way.
