Default Olympic Medalists are US Trained

Since we are all wrestling fans, it's easy for us to lose sight of how very many athletes, representing a diverse array of countries, do their training in the USA.

If medalists were tracked by country of training it would be the USA in a landslide.

It appears that the USA is the top dog when it comes to world class training of athletes (which may be a rude surprise to some naysayers on this message board). Wrestling is an exception rather than the rule.

Mostly people train in America because of resources rather than coaching.

There are so many foreign track & field athletes in the NCAA that the All-Americans are the top 8 Americans.

Foreign athletes don't count when determining All-American status.
