[Here is a nice Wikipedia article that took me 5 seconds to find. It is literally about how Argentinia did at the 2012 Olympics.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics)

Thanks, I was hoping someone had the info available without plowing through each event.  
I was hoping they did very badly after that asinine commercial recorded in the Falklands.

Thanks again.

About the same as we always do, 1 gold, 1 silver, a couple of bronces, a bit less than Beijing, mostly because the Football team did not classify and the Basketball one had bad luck and faced the USA in the semifinals and had a bad night against the russians.
