Since the Olympics are basically over, let's hear the final medal count?

UGA and UF score an international shitstorm with their former swimmers...

Kentucky. 2 golds.
Henri Junghanel of Germany. Gold. 50 meter rifle
Demarcus Cousins of USA. Gold. Basketball.

6 People from Arkansas won medals (4 gold, 2 silver) which was more than 40 some odd nations.

That is just Arkansans, not Alumni of the school.

I believe A&M has at least 2 gold. A T&F athlete, Simone Facey, running for Jamaica. DeAndre Jordan won gold with the basketball team.

She won silver.

I believe A&M only won 2 medals. Simone's silver and DeAndre Jordan's gold.

Not sure about students, but our WBB coach, Dawn Staley, coached the American Olympic team that brought back the Gold.

We had 22 Olympians in Rio. I'm not sure how many medaled. I know for sure Justin Gatlin (silver) and Tamika Catchings (gold) did. IIRC, Catchings was in her 4th Olympiad.

Huh?

You know those 40+ NCs Arkansas has that no one wants to talk about?

They are in the same sport that hands out medals every four years.
