America is number 1 because of our air force- light years ahead of any other country.

Haha! That is not true! Don't wanna bash you americans, but honestly, there's lots of countries with better looking chicks. Or at least a less percentage of fatties.

Olympics Medals Ranks geographic.org

America ranked 46 for medals per capita. US must be full of exceptional athletes

Other sports that are most popular world wide

soccer
cricket
rugby
tennis

Despite the huge population they don't dominate in any of them. Tennis they have their share of champs but do not dominate by a long shot. America is best at entertainment I give them that.

Being a Canadian, I have to give it up to American sports, unfortunately, as I have lived under their shadow. Their collegiate system is so in-depth, and very easy to nurse up and coming athletes. You're good at the long jump? Good! Ten good colleges just jump at the chance to offer you a scholarship. And their respective schools are just pumped about their sports and incredibly well-funded and popularized. This is why Americans dominate sports. From middle school on, there are organizations developing sports effectively. It's a weird dichotomy since Americans are the fattest people on average. Every Summer Olympics, Canada always wonders why we don't do better and we always look at the States as an example (although the real answer is really because we're a winter sports nation).

And while those sports are popular, they're not the only international sports. Americans are very good at
Basketball (#2 sport in the world)
Baseball
Tennis (Federline is very good)
Golf (although I don't really consider it a sport)
Wrestling
Track and Field
Boxing
Swimming
Cycling
Gymnastics

They also have the best scientists making the best steroids.

Basketball was an American national sport long before any other countries took it seriously. It would be like comparing US rugby to New Zealands.

Again baseball was an American national sport before most other countries had any interest.And still baseball is no where near as popular around the globe as the other sports mentioned.

Tennis, like I said America has some good players but definitely do not dominate the sport despite economical and population advantages. They do try though.

track and field they dominate in, but track and field is not a very popular sport. I think I met two people in my entire school life that took it seriously in Australia. Still they only just passed by Russia

Boxing again was made popular by Americans due to tv and movies. I think their domination is drifting as boxing becomes less popular in US and the numbers start evening out compared to other countries

Swimming 28 medals to Australias 15. And dont tell me America doesn't take swimming seriously.
300 million compared to 20 million people does not look to make them dominate at all.

Cycling I don't think they dominate. I thought Australia dominated the medal tally in that 10 - 4
Athens 2004 Olympics, Cycling - Cycling Medal Count - Yahoo! Sports

Gymnastics they do not dominate.
Athens 2004 Olympics on Yahoo! Sports - News, Results, Schedule

Wrestling they came 3rd

So I guess it narrows down to baseball, basketball,boxing.
I would say they are dominate in MMA at the moment as well due to the popularity and head start they got on other countries.

So to say they are dominate in sports is ridiculous We could start mentioning many other sports they suck at. Muay thai to start.

Oh and field hockey is one of the worlds most popular sports.

We are the most hated nation on Earth. No one pulls for Goliath, everyone in baseball hates the Yankees, etc.

We got the best military, the best cops, the best athletes, the best actors, the best singers, the best women, the best of everything and there is a reason why everyone in the world is trying so hard to come here and says they hate us at the same time.

If China and India started to win a lot of sports due to sheer population number and probability, I'd say they would dominate too. You're arguing for the fact of efficiency as in a population of 20 million happens to breed more athletes on a per capita basis. They're not the same thing. After looking at those stats though, i concede they do not dominate every sport. But they certainly are a sports-obsessed country and have dominated a lot of sports for a long amount of time. Australia has zero medals in Winter Olympics but that doesn't mean they can't: they're not a winter country. But it still means they are dominated in those respects.
