These girls don't look 14...

Should the rest of the world be worried?

51 gold medals for China. The US in second with 36. Let's just say that some of the other 95% of China progresses to the 21st century, I have to imagine that the athletic programs multiply and China comes away with even more gold.

Because China only wants gold medals anyway.

Of China’s gold medals, 34 came in gymnastics, weightlifting, diving, shooting and table tennis. They haven’t made big inroads into other sports, such as track and field. Follow the related link below for an awesome map of the best and brightest (and lowliest) of Olympics competitors.

But as far as China goes, they were close, just not close enough. In the end, the U.S. beats them by 10 medals, 110 total to 100.

But 1.3 billion people are working on it. The pipeline is growing.
