Are the Olympics being sponsored by Yo Gabba Gabba? (new moms and dads will know this).

Finally watched our recording of the opening ceremony last night. Paul McCartney's voice is gone.

List of Olympic medals by country
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-time_O ... edal_table
What I find fascinating about this is India. Second highest population in the world. 1.2 billion people. 20 Olympic medals, total. They are tied with Latvia (2.2 million people, was part of the Soviet Union for 50 years) and one ahead of Mongolia (3 million people).

We have 1000 more summer games medals than any other country, and more summer medals than any 2 countries combined. That is delightful.

Hungary, 84kg freestyle wrestler Jake Herbert was a Northwestern athlete and has a chance to get bronze. He's the one who said, "Babba booey" to the camera on Friday night, I don't know why that was newsworthy.
