Meet Team USA: The U.S. has sent nearly 600 athletes to Beijing for the Olympic Games. But who are they? America's new set of Olympians are from 47 of the 50 states -- as well as athletes who were born in 28 other countries -- and includes identical twins, teenagers, a cancer patient and the daughter of a Super Bowl champion. Who's from the smallest hometown? Which team is the brainiest? Which college is represented by the most Olympians? Get to know a little more about Team USA.
South?
We finished fourth in the total medal count at the last 2 Olympics, but we may be on the decline. Still, not bad for a nation of 21 million.
This time, we're looking to kick some Pommie arse, again.

I want to know which 3 states doesn't have any Olympians.

The three olympian-free states are Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia. Gonna leave the jokes up to everyone else (for now.)

While this is absolutely the most USA-centric post ever, I'd enjoy similar FPPs from our friends to the north...and east...and west.
