Happy merchants

Just to piss you off, cuck :)

Are you a little mad there, cuckee? :)

Go cry your cuck tears, cucker. :)

Americucks need GIBSMEDATS medals so juicewater is the way to go.

someone post the shooting footage please

>why are there so many swimming competitions ?
Because there are many cycling competitions

Is swimming illegal in yurop?

I don't know but its fucking stupid

All these ameridipshits keep jacking off to how great swimming is just because these faggots are good at it

Splashing around in a pool is dumb as fuck when real sports are going on

no

have there always been as many swimming competitions?

or did they just add more so phelps can win america free medals?

If it's not illegal why don't you do better?

look at hoszu faggit

YOU NEED TO GO BACK

cant wait to steal those medals like '12 all over again.

The American commentators on the first night of swimming described the first swimming medal as "the first medal of the olympics."

Fuck wetsplash.

Pretty sad desu.

American "bantz"

why does swimming get 34 medals instead of a smaller number?

how fucking pathetic are amerfats that they still havent gotten over the cold war holy fuck

>being a kiwi
>EVER

LOL :)

Glad I'm not Portuguese

these cucks know nothing but football.


Your argument doesn't answer my question tho

America needs to win the most, always

>102 medals in a single sport

Ridiculous.

>mfw I thought the yuropoors and bongers were just memeing
>mfw it's true

I am actually ashamed right now. Did we bribe the fucking IOC to spam the games with swimshit or something?

Pedro is mad because his large body mass won't even allow him to float

There are actually only 10
They had to cut some of the men's ones because they could have 10 and there had to be 5 for each sex
Meanwhile swimming has 34

There are a bunch of running competitions too.

There are 10 i think and one person can't just do them all like you can with swimming.

The ultimate stat padding.

if running was anything like swimming

>100m sprint
>100m grass
>100m sand
>100m backwards
>100m hoppity hop
>100m ''memely''

do this again for 200m 400m 800m and 1500m

i was hoping trump will win but im going to shill for hill now just so you can shut the fuck up in 4 years when she ruins the sporting teams

>portugal
>surrounded by water
>can't swim

This country cares only and only about football.

Nothing to see.

Don't call them kiwis, that's a compliment. Call them Ausfags.

>961 medals across all sports
>100 go to swim events

Yea that's fucking gay

Better update that friend, it's 16 gold now :)

sorry cold on the cobb isnt a sport, pierre.

Probably an Aussie on proxy trying to make the U.S. look bad.

He is from the island down south of the mainland. Not Aussie at all, but some sort of sub-Aussie, if that were even possible.

You guys need to stop making fun of Australia

>trying to tell Sup Forums tourists with no real interest in sport what to do

Good luck with that.

Track events (12 per sex)
100 meter sprint for men
200 meter sprint for men
400 meter sprint for men
800 meter event for men
1500 meter event for men
5000 meter event for men
10000 meter event for men
110 meter hurdle for men
400 meter hurdle for men
3000 meter steeplechase for men
4x100 meter relay event for men
4x400 meter relay event for men

Swimming (17 per sex)
100 meter backstroke for men
100 meter breaststroke for men
100 meter butterfly for men
100 meter freestyle for men
1500 meter freestyle for men
200 meter backstroke for men
200 meter breaststroke for men
200 meter butterfly for men
200 meter freestyle for men
200 meter individual medley for men
400 meter freestyle for men
400 meter individual medley for men
4x100 meter freestyle relay for men
4x100 meter medley relay for men
4x200 meter freestyle relay for men
50 meter freestyle for men
marathon 10 kilometer for men

So it's like 5 more than track. All you faggots have to do to get those golds is be better than Phelps.

BTFO

And in how many does one single runner compete in? All swimming events are practically the same shit.

All of them if they want to. Where the fuck did you get runners can only run in one event?

>Portugal
>live in a country where literally every citizen lives within a couple hundred miles of the coast
>shit at swimming

Maybe the rest of the world should get better at swimming...

How many medals would he get in women's competition?

Since there's always an excuse for a Portuguese

People here don't give a shit about sports besides football

>100 meter sprinter competing in 10k

Nice shitposting.

70% of the earths surface is water so 70% of Olympic events should involve it

SUCK IT LAND LOVERS

Is there any swimming done outside? long distance?

Euros will never stopped being enraged by swimming.

You want those medals?

Get gud.

there's no argument against that.

Maybe in that sport where u do swimming followed by biking and then running

That's their choice though. Obviously the conditioning is different, but they could still try to compete in both events if they wanted to.

I see. So you'll surely win the gold in football, right?

>earth made up mostly water
>humans comprised of mostly water
>all known life evolved from water

So get better at swimming.

Why get mad about a loophole when you can just as well abuse it?

If you want a lot of medals then create elite swimmers.

We bring out a different Phelps for every swimming event. This is my key to success.

Not so sure about that.

Clubs here didn't allow some players to go to the games, and Germany is looking very strong.

Portugal won the european cup this summer tho, that was seen as the greatest achievement in portuguese sport

You have no idea what you're talking about, or maybe i should be at the olympics since i can sprint 100 meters and run a 10k.

Marathon swimming, 10km

Events are in 3/4 days

triathlon

...

We'll have a different Phelps for that event and there aint shit you can do about Portugal. Fucking peasants can't even clone.

Funny thing is, the IOC is a Yuropoor organization. FINA is a Yuropoor organization. All the big non-Olympic swimming events are usually held abroad, like the World's.

Yuropoors have no excuses.

Money talks

We only have one female athlete in that event. So yes, there's literally nothing we can do.

>the IOC is a Yuropoor organization
Go be stupid somewhere else.

summer and swimming go hand in hand

Are you seriously doubting IOC isn't Yuropoor organization. The fucking organizations uses French and English as official languages because the IOC was founded by the Swiss and English is the lingua franca.

lrn2 Olympic history.

>Winter Olympics
>WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SKATING MEDALS REEEEEEEEEEE

Two wrongs don't make a right.

>b-but it was f-founded by yuros
Again, go be stupid somewhere else. Only a a retard would classify the IOC as an European organization.

ITT butthurt yuros

Cold war

remove all 200m races, including the 4x200, and it's literally perfect

22 golds available, only one for each meme swim

This. A bunch of swimming events were created because it was the only way Americans could beat the commies.

best dope
best stroke

>butthurt

just checked and this leaves Phelps with 10 golds, still great but kek

Portugal what events should be added so you can get a chance at a medal?

did we win the olymplox yet?

No, the E.U is first place

If it wasn't for swimming Australia would have no medals

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_at_the_Olympics

But... but you ARE at the Olympics

what country is that?

Sure.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_at_the_1956_Summer_Olympics

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_at_the_1988_Summer_Olympics

We also didn't need all the swimming events to beat the Commies in 52, 64, 68.

Commies actually got better as more swimming events were added.

Dingoes will never recover

>no medals
>literally most of our medals are from other events

Sure, pal.

Is swimming compulsory in other countries during Physical Education?

Actually it was the other way around, America began to focus on swimming and track + field because of the many medal opportunities.

>yurodrowns can't even swim

kek

Is Europe aware they're allowed to win swimming events too?

Those medals aren't reserved for Americans.

They really need "running backwards and "running sideways" and "skip run" and "jump run" for 100m so Usain Bolt can win more meme medals.

plus America has a big swimming culture that I'm not sure most countries have. High schools and colleges all over America have highly competitive swimming competitions.

Look, we've always been rubbish at the Olympics because this is a small country that doesn't really care about a lot more than Football and Hockey. We have the infrastructure and some talent, we just don't put enough resources into it. I'm actually staggered that some of these athletes, most of which cannot afford to go pro, come back with medals.

Adding different sports wouldn't matter. Even when Hockey was a demonstration sport in 1992 we failed to win a single medal.

You could literally say the same thing for swimming or is the 50m freestyle the same as the 10k marathon?

They have hurdles, steeplechase and racewalking already. Jump run sounds like triple jump which is somehow different than long jump.

The thing is, they KEEP fucking adding more events to swimming.

Watch as they invent some new fucking stroke and have 8 more medals. Maybe 12 more if they have relays and shit for it too.

Too bad China is dumb as fuck and don't invest in swimming so they can have one athlete swim and win them 10+ golds.

The French would win the "running backwards" medal

You have another advantage in the pool, since most niggers can't swim. That leaves a lot of countries out of a real shot at the gold.

>Americans dominate swimming
>Instead of trying to develop a competent swimming program and good swimmers, Europeans whine about the number of swimming events on a Chinese cartoon image board

This is exactly why America is the world's only super power and dominating the Olympics
