    Since, the Olympics games are pretty well over, how did you feel about the teams you were going for?
    I was going for Jamaica,Russia,China,Japan,Canada and USA.
    Here's how I felt:

    Jamaica-Had very good potential, I was impressed to see Usain Bolt win the finals, and yet, become the fastest man in the world.
    Russia- They did good in the diving competitions...they needed a little better synchronization though.
    China-They were awesome in gymnastics and did well in swimming
    Canada-So..so...they could've done a little better. *Cough* At least they won medals.
    USA-They did fine..


    What are your opinions?...

    To be honest I was rooting for USA, and Norway, and maybe Britain at some points.

    And USA did amazing, like Libregkd said, they got he most medals of anyone, they did well in basically every competition they were in, and were part of the top 2 dominate nations at the events, the other being China.

    I would like to point out that Usain Bolt, while representing Jamaica, lives in America. Japan was disappointing, I didn't expect much from Canada, Russia too could have done better.

    And China to be honest was impressing and foreboding everywhere. I was a bit annoyed by watching China in the gymnastics competitions, there were definetly a few times where worthy Americans were screwed out of medals by Chinese athletes who did not actually deserve them. But America won all the competitions that America SHOULD have done well in, such as Swimming, Volleyball, Basketball, Gymnastics. We really covered the bases. And I'm glad with the turnout. Can't wait for London.

    Well i felt that our irish teams did good enough and all our boxers got medals because for some reason boxing has gotten really popular the past few years.

    USA dominated, yet i'm suprised how many more gold China recieved that the US.

    My state had a number of great athletes, including Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams both earn gold medals in Basketball.

    I was rooting for a number of teams at different points of the Olympics, mostly Canada. However, they did okay, 19th out of the rest of the world.

    The top ten countries are (in order of number of medals):

    - China
    - USA
    - Russia
    - UK
    - Germany
    - Australia
    - South Korea
    - Japan
    - Italy
    - France

    At least Canada is in the top 20!
