Obviously not as much as Russia, but the US has multiple guys that could medal on a good day at most weights.
I don't thinks so ODH. Since 2004 we've won 2 Golds, 3 Silvers and 5 Bronzes. Most of the time we get smashed in tourneys overseas and we didn't even qualify the weight where we have a World Silver medalist. Which "good day" are you waiting for?
