countries are winning most of the Olympic medals every two years, that's because it's largely true. Even though more than 150 countries and territories have claimed a medal since the modern Games began in 1896, the list of winners is top-heavy.

NANTERRE , FRANCE : Several days into an Olympic swim meet that has featured uncharacteristically sluggish times and a decided lack of world records, a potential problem has emerged: The water might be too shallow.
