USA - 121 medals (46 Gold, 37 Silver, 38 Bronze). Lots of highs (Michael Phelps adding 5 Gold and 1 Silver to his 28 total medals), Gwen Jorgensen winning the US it's 1st Triathlon Gold medal ever), some disappointments (Beach Volleyball and Indoor Volleyball teams missing the Gold Medal games - but still taking Bronze, so not terribly disappointing), but also a huge low in one of our swimmers, Ryan Lochte, claiming to have been robbed at gunpoint only for it later to be discovered he had trashed a gas station rest room. Aside from that last embarrassment it was a great Summer Olympics for the US. An 18 medal improvement from London (9 more Silver, 9 more Bronze).

I'm sad to see the games have come to an end. I was enjoying watching it from day to day whenever I could. And not just to see the athlete's from my own country. Absolutely love watching Usain Bolt of Jamaica run in particular. He is amazingly fast. I was happy to see him win 3 Gold medals in Rio to give him 9 Olympic Gold medals total.
