Europe reigns supreme!
SI.com - Olympics - Medal Tracker - Total
Final medal counts back up Europe's all-around superiority:
Europe: 462
Asia: 192
North America: 154
Australia (inc. NZ): 54
Africa: 30
South America: 21
Antarctica: 0
Europe defeats all other continents combined, 462-451!
I cannot leave you without expressing my disgust with the American sprint relay teams. Both the men and the women failed to win the 4 x 100 meter relays despite having the fastest sprinters (and, it is said, the newest drugs) because of their inability to properly hand off the baton. The men finished second and the women were disqualified. Watching the American men finish second to an outstanding British team once again demonstrates that European teamwork will always outshine America even if its individuals excel!

Mac, come on! That is a terrible analogy and you know it. Why do you join the "hate the U.S." crowd so often?

Hey, I didn't write that. Talk to the Captain.
