The fact that United States has 150% more warm bodies (therefore medal opportunities) than China, but is basically neck-and-neck with China, speaks volumes. Theoretically, US should have +150% more total medals than China, but it's only leading +22% in total medals, and -16% in Gold medals.... so underperforming significantly.

US, Japan, Australia, and Germany have more warm bodies to throw in human-waves against the medal podium.... yet they are all behind China in total gold and total medals (except US, but given +150% more athletes, the gap is terribly small in total medals).

Next NYT headline: "Americans use 'Human Wave' tactics at medal podium, sacrificing individual liberty for national glory!"
But according to prominent Academics, pundits, and medi organizations in the U.S. China has sent 777 athletes into this Olympics. I don't have a clue where the f..k are they getting this figure from, unless they're conflating the total number of delegates from China which includes the coaches, trainers etc..
