We gave them an inch & now they r taking a mile deliberetely getting medals trying 2 make us look bad. A lot of them hate us anyways. Some of them do not even support our troops! Um, that just happens 2b ilegal! hello!

But they don't respect the law. Like 4instance RED CHINA which we even let have the Olympics there so we could get information about their missel bases etc & now every nite we c more commiunist chinese grabbing medals so they can brag how they "beat" us. Yeah! by CHEATING & paying off the judges who r also from foregn countrys. What a suprise!

So pls write 2 ur Congressman. If u dunno the name u can get it from Google. & tell him u wanna law past 2 take back our Olympics! Our troops r sacarficing their lives 2 defend our freedom & it is time for us 2 do our part!

With that said, since 1968, 118 Gators and 11 Florida coaches have represented 27 countries in 10 Olympiads and laid claim to 76 medals, including 39 golds (before this summer).

As of August 8, 2008, a total of 36 athletes and coaches with ties to the University of Florida (33 athletes, 3 coaches) are representing 20 different countries for the 2008 Olympic Games. (Reference: Gatorzone.com/olympics)
Go Gators!

Stanford has 32 athletes on the U.S. Olympic team and 15 athletes on Olympic teams of other countries, for a total of 47 Olympic athletes in Beijing.

Quoting Birmingham News writer Charles Goldberg, "Did you know that if Auburn was a nation, it would have the 65th largest contingent at the Games? It's true. Auburn has more athletes in Beijing than Georgia, the university, and almost as many as Georgia, the country. Auburn is in the upper percentile as the 65th largest "country" of the 205 nations participating."

How Auburn University isn't on this list is beyond me.

Indiana University has several athletes that are competeing for different countries.

How about Old Dominion University? We maybe a little known school but we also have 9 athletes and coaches that are in the Olympics… our sports are field hockey and sailing.

It's a list of the top U.S athlete producing schools, not WORLD. Next they'll have a list of top states that begin with the letter "W" and you all will say "if you count letters NEXT TO W in the alphabet, Virginia would be there".

PS – Stanford grad here so apparently athletics isn't the only area in which we excel.

Auburn has 22 athletes in this years olympics. If we were a country, Auburn would be 10th in medal counttied with Germany and one behind Breat Britain.
