I am assuming you are talking about basketball, right? If so, then I think, yes, USA will grab the gold again. I know those other countries you mentioned have their own NBA players; but USA team is composed of all NBA players and they are just too hard to defeat. Perhaps they should go back to the rules before 1988 Olympics where NBA players are not allowed to play to make it more even with other countries. Even then, USA won gold in 1984 Los Angeles Olympics with Michael Jordan playing as an NCAA player...

Its not the fault of Americans to build talents in NBA, besides that's their own league and making money of out of it. Other countries has their own but NBA is still the best when it comes to training camps. American are taller than any other countries that makes them an advantage. Although talent can bring it, height still matters.

You're right, height is a big factor in basketball...
