Will the U.S. Get a higher medal tally than China in the 2008 Summer Games?
Settled as Yes
US = 110
China = 100
http://www.nbcolympics.com/medals/index.html
Background:
The US has won more metals than China in the past 6 Summer Olympics. They beat China by 4 gold medals in Athens (39 medals overall), by 9 gold medals in Sydney (33 medals overall), and by 28 gold medals in Atlanta (51 medals overall); but now China is on its home turf. China’s pride is heavily invested in these games and they have been working hard to stack the deck in their favor. Although the US will likely continue to dominate in Athletics and Swimming, China has a good chance to sweep Diving, Table Tennis, Rowing and Sailing. It should be a very close race and one to certainly follow (and bet on!)
