Eh, it always bugs me when they tout the medal count as being the medals of the USA. I know that the athletes are there via their nationality, but they are not playing as part of a "team." They are individual athletes competing for the most part quite individually.

I don't think the USA earns any gold medals. And, despite the trappings, I never think of the American athletes as belonging to "Team USA."


I'll concede, though, that - like it or not - they are representing the United States in some fashion (not meant to be a pun).
