Can China finally win as overall champion?

It's been quite a while since China emerged as sports powerhouse and last olympic games at Athens they came so close to being the top country in medal tally! This year as a host they sure would do whatever it took to try become the overall champion of Olympic Games.

So far they had 9 golds in bag, and there are few more on the way into their tally as well within the next 2 days in swimming, diving and few other strong hold games. I certainly hope China can dislodge USA as the overall champion, just to show the Americans they are not everything, and they could be replaced.

Secondly it's China's home soil, and there will be huge supporters from everywhere, and surely their athletes will perform that extra bit better to try make their country top! So with these 2 major factors, I think they could finally claim the top slots of medal tally!

Side issue! When can Malaysian have the same kind of mentality? I doubt we will ever have!
