I was never really Rah-Rah USA for the Olympics, I liked good stories about great athletes regardless of where they were from. Although, yes I always enjoyed when the Commies lost, especially the "Miracle on Ice".
But the fact is, a lot of athletes who compete for other countries, live and train right here in the US, and many have attended US Universities.
I care more about the medal count by University:
Go Gators!
This list of Olympic medals by USA colleges is very cool. There are already almost 200 medals listed. I have always wanted the scoreboards to show two flags next to each name, first the country they are representing and secomd the country where they live and/or train. So many non-Americans athletes have the EEEEVIL (/s) USA as their country of choice.
Representing a country where a person has never lived but where one’s spouse or grandparents were born makes a mockery of representing one’s country.
