What is the Olympic record for most medals won by a country?

We won 83 golds in 1984 Los Angeles (helped by the USSR boycot though)
The most gold medals at a non-boycotted Olympics is 75 by the US in 1904.

1904 doesn't count either, was held in St. Louis and was mostly USA athletes

Well, 46 golds is the most the US has ever won in a non-boycotted Olympics since 1904.
The USSR won 55 golds in 1988 though (their last Olympics, a year before the Berlin wall fell)

Props out to the boy Gatlin. He held it down for the USA but he is facing the fastest nikka ever.

How can you give a known drugs cheat props? If he wasn't there, a clean Tyson Gay would have got bronze. fukk Gatlin.

All this and I have people on my timeline wanting the Olympics off and the football season back on They will have football on all their lives for 10 out of 12 months in the year. Olympics is once every 4 years and probably never in London again in their lifetime.
