Take a look at that picture. Study it. Now tell me that the girl on the left isn’t 4 years old (rough estimate).

    ok giving her the benefit of the doubt, i'd say 6 or 7 max.

     I get the feeling the Chinese are cheating.. China, since 1906 has only won 112 Gold Medals, and a total of 286 medals (Summer Olympics) having participated in only 7 summer olympic games.. they average about 16 gold medals and 40 medals total per olympic games.

    the US since 1906 has won 894 Gold Medals, and a total of over 2000, having participated in 24 summer olympic games... the US averages 37 gold medals and 91 medals total per olympic games..

    looking at the numbers, what gives?

    that's more than twice as many golds and twice as many medals total...

    so how is China suddenly mastering the Olympics, coming in first in the gold medal count and second in total medals?
