USA MAG success over the years

I know we're in the midst of World Cup events and NCAA competition is revving up toward post-season, but I decided to procrastinate working out by crunching some numbers :) I'm pretty familiar with the USA women's team results/success over the years but not so much with the men....so I tallied all individual medals won by US men in World and Olympic competition (since 1950) and was kind of surprised at how few (comparatively) medals they have won (of course the 1984 medals should be taken with a grain of salt due to the boycot):



Danell Leyva 6
Kurt Thomas 6
Paul Hamm 5
Bart Conner 3
Mitch Gaylord 3
Peter Vidmar 2
Jonathon Horton 2
Jake Dalton 2
Jair Lynch 1
Trent Dimas 1
Paul O'Neill 1
Tim Daggett 1
Sean Townsend 1
Alexander Artemev 1
Brandon Wynn 1 (forgot about this one)
Steven Legendre 1
John Orozco 1
Donnell Whittenburg 1
Peter Kormann 1
Yul Moldauer 1
(Team medals) 8


So, only 20 men for a total of 41 medals (and only 8 have one more than 1), but 16 medals in the last 10 years. This is compared to 43 medal winners and a total of 127 medals for the women (hope I counted this up correctly). Discussion could be started debating why this is so. Also interesting to think about who are the top American male gymnasts of all time (I think I remember reading a thread regarding this). I still think it's a toss-up between Kurt and Paul. Leyva I think is 3rd best for sure.
