I was talking about this earlier today (and I think it's already been covered) but I don't think there is anything wrong with our male athletes so to speak.
Not to take anything away from the women, cause they are kicking ass and I love that they are doing so well and kicking the guys in the butts in the process.
However, with the way women's lib is in other countries, and then women's sport, I would suspect that there is simply less serious competition in many women's events as compared to men.
Not a huge difference. But in any Olympic sport, where gold-4th is often measured in the smallest of increments, any difference could end up changing things in our favor.
To put it more simply, women athletes in countries like Canada and the US, simply have huge advantages over 2nd and 3rd world female athletes. More so than their male counterparts.
It would be interesting to see what percentage of the medals of the US are female won.
