USA and the Olympics.

The numbers so far with a few days left, below.  It's good to see that the US does well in both individual and team sports, and will likely grab another 7 team medals (women's volleyball; men's and women's 4x100, 4x400 relays; men's and women's basketball).  Guaranteed the US will go over the century mark of medals, and guaranteed the US will exceed its medal count going back to the 1988 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, boycotted by the Soviet Union.

Total:

USA - 90 (39 gold)

China - 80 (37 gold)

Russia - 56 (12 gold)
