Is there anywhere where I can find the British medals split into medals earned from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales?

You're only good at swimming. That's where you get all your medals.dena wrote:Rebecca Soni wins another gold for US swimming, sets a world record too.

Got those two women gymnastic gold's though boiiiiiii
Once track/field start we'll diversify, plus the basketball (m/w) volleyball (m/w/team m/ team w) and other team sports will spread it out.

lol @ Lochte.
Why is America such a strong swimming nation? I never understood that, given all the other sports that are much more popular in the US

Perhaps because most people start at a very young age because in most places swimming is a requirement in school.

Because they train babies like slaves from a very young age. Every young child has to be able to swim a few metres while attending school.Pico wrote:lol @ Lochte.

Weather, fountain of knowledge 
In that case, it makes more sense. Another example of how Britain is inferior to the US in just about everything.

Wouldn't be surprised if Missy Franklin went on to break Phelps' medal record in a few years.

What I think in general that happens here is parents are encouraged to start to teach their child to swim once they can walk.

Thanks, but since I live here I wouldn't consider it a "fountain of knowledge"
Also if you go to the doctor and convince them something is wrong that would make swimming dangerous you can get an exemption. Sometimes it is something as stupid as a chlorine allergy

I took a swimming course in elementary school as an after school program, a lot of schools/programs do the same, then you have huge schools like University of Florida and University of Cal (which if you look back every medalist in these games seems to come from) who have world class facilities. Add in a population of 300m+ and you get good shit.
