The real crime here is that Australia did so terribly, their lead off swimmer's best is like a 47.1, and he swam like a 48.1 today. pretty terrible job by him | ||

Well the USA has won the most medals in swimming and overall for how many olympics now? People always root for the underdog, even when the underdog isn't really the underdog in that specific event. | ||

One reason is the amount of competitors on the Chinese side is much lower than 4 years before. | ||

The press over here were making out that we simply couldn't lose this event and the racers themselves were quite cocky, especially Magnussen, he was such a disappointment. Oh well, we weren't meant to win the women's 4x100 and we did, that's the Olympics I guess. | ||

USA always wins the overall medal count but chances of Chinese winning most gold medals is great. Personally i would bet on it. | ||
