I find the argument very simplistic and trivial. I'm having a really hard time relating the olympic medal count to anything else in a country's society and culture in any meaningful way. He's basically saying "we won because we're morally superior." Even if this is true, so what? I'd like to think any moral superiority we have will demonstrate itself in more substantial ways.
