Olympic Games and World Baseball Classic

It was not widely reported but US did not win more models than all other countries, nor did US win more gold medals than all other countries in this year's Olympic Games. World Baseball Classic was played this month, and US did not win there, either, despite the fact that Team USA had number of top MLB players including Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Roger Clemens. These are just sports events, but I think that Team USA's defeat in these two major events highlight today's state of the nation, USA.
