Here is a link to an interesting article on yahoo spots about the olympic medal count EXCLUDING the judged events. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bei...urn=oly,101537

The Non-judged 2008 Medal Count
China: 22 gold; 11 silver; 11 bronze
United States: 21 gold; 19 silver; 21 bronze

Here's a quote from the article, "As you can see, in the events where medals are determined by competitors rather than judges, the gold medal gap between China and the U.S. is greatly narrowed, and the total medal count is an American runaway. Counting the judged events, China has a commanding lead in golds. Hmmm... Nope, nothing fishy about that!"
