A lot of people have said that the Olympics have not been interesting since the fall of the Soviet Union. It used to be very fun to watch and root of the United States against the Soviet Union.
Many great games have come out of that rivalry, mainly the USA Hockey versus Soviet Hockey in Lake Placid.
But there is still a rivalry. The most populous of bad guy countries is China. This is a fiercely communist country, and it's good to see we are beating them in the medal count
USA + Aus > Russia + China. Bwahahaha! Though the Russians have picked up another 5 golds since your tally.
