China runs up their medal counts in non-athletic shyt like ping pong, archery, guns etc....and sports with judges like synchronized swimming.
You won't see them doing anything in hoops, track & field, boxing etc. Might be OK in judo/TKD or weightlifting in the smaller classes.
Plus they have 5x our population and train kids from elementary school on up. It's always America vs China for total medals but the United States tends to be competitive in a MUCH broader range of sports compared to any other nation.
United States is the only country that can go win a ton of medals in track, swimming and gymnastics. Most countries are lucky to be good in 1 out of 3. We are either #1 or #2 in each.
