How are they still ahead of us in the gold medal count?

8 golds in diving, 5 golds in shooting, 5 golds in table tennis, 4 in golds weight lifting.

Those four events are 60% of their gold medal count.

Are there some events that some countries are excluded from competing in?

I'm surprised they're any good at weight lifting without drugs.

Oh wait...

You're supposed to be excluded if you cheat.

But we all know why that doesn't happen with China...

They could say the same to us about swimming and track.

12 in T&F and 8 in swimming for the US That's 57 % in two event groups. Add the 3 in Gymnastics and that is nearly 2/3rds from 3 event groups.

Why would that matter though?
