And they would be and should be..............anywhere else except in China.
Home-cooking, home-field advantage, home-language advantage, and the Chinese will be ready to show the world that they are part of the picture. They will use these Olympics like Berlin did in '36.
Should be interesting...

This will be a very close race between the US and China for both Total medals and Gold medals, wouldn't really touch who would win more props. Looking at the projected breakdowns of all the events, most pundits have China winning more gold, hence they're a huge fave to win more gold over the US. I might put a very small play on the US just because they're a pretty big dog.
However, I think the US is a solid bet to win over 96 total medals. If I had to play a medal prop bet, this is the one that I would take. I see them winning at least 99-100 medals. GLA

The Chinese are tops in a lot of events where they could win all 3 medals, whereas the US are tops in events such as the track relays, swimming relays, team sports...
makes a big difference, but still should be close
rest of the world and probably many Americans are hoping they lose unfortunately
