With the opening weekend of the Olympics coming to a close team U.S.A is currently ranked No. 2 taking home 11 medals total thus far.  Most of their medals came by way of  swimming events.  The break down is as follow; 3 Gold (2 from Women's Skeet Shooting and 1 from Men's 400m Individual Medley).  5 Silver (1 Men's team Archery, 1 Women's Synchronised Diving, 1 Men's 4 X 100 Freestyle Relay, 1 Women's 4 X100 Individual Medley).  3 Bronze, (1 Men's 100m Breaststroke, 1 Men's 400m Relay, and 1 Women's 4 X 100 Freestyle Relay).  The Men's Swimming events played out to be a bit on the disappointing side with the return of  8 time Gold medalist Michael Phelps not reclaiming the events that he set world records in at Bejieng 4 years ago.  More events are set to start with the beginning of the week bringing more possibilities for the Americans to see the podium.  Still in the hunt for medals are Men's and Women's Soccer, Men's Basketball, Women's and Men's Beach and Indoor Volleyball, and Men's and Women's Gymnastics.
