The fact that ALL these Olympic sports are invented and native to US or Europe.....(except Taekwondo and Karate) and China matched US in gold despite a 45% smaller team size....I count this as a success! For example, China doesn't have a native sport like Epee, Wrestling, Fencing, Baseball, Softball, Skateboarding, Boxing, Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, and all these other sports which are hugely advantageous to nations with centuries of experience...
Swimming is where the medals are at. A single person can win more medals in swimming than entire nations combined.
Good job China! Now onto EUVs and more babies please.
