The media had predicted the U.S. to possibly win around 100 medals or more before the start of the Olympics, but after a few days of competition many have said we will not reach 100 unfortunately. So far the U.S. is leading China by 2 Gold medals and 4 total medals overall.
USA 40 medals
China 36 medals
USSR (lol) 28 medals
What amazed me was this white guy named Jeremy Wariner running the 400. Man, I never seen a white guy run that fast. Can't wait to watch him in the semifinals and finals the next couple days.
