IMO there's far too much of a weight placed on the medal table and which country 'wins' etc, I like to view the Olympics in terms of the people succeeding rather than the countries they're from. I think it'd be much better if we were encouraged to celebrate the best athletes from all over the world and create more of a community vibe breaking cultural barriers etc, rather than it being just another exercise in nationalism.

And it'll always be USA, China etc at the top of the tables as they have the most people and most money, where's the fun in seeing rich countries dominate things.

Also agree with everything azuarc says, the medal table is ridiculously weighted towards certain sports, most obviously swimming.
