USA first in the Olympics medal table

>USA first in the Olympics medal table
>China second
>Japan third

gee, it's almost as if the economically developed countries with the largest populations are the most successful

>largest populations
India

>economically developed

And what would you call the UK? Bolstered by the commonwealth?

>China
>Developed
C'mon Britguy, you know better. They are essentially the Soviets of the 21st century, they'll get a lot of medals, but western powers will beat 'em.

>Russia cheats their way in
>still under performs
Cant make this shit up

Russians had to cut their cycles off early so they're all below what they're used to

>>Japan third
But that's impressive they are a tiny island with hardly any natural resources

Japan has the population, culture of supporting athletics, and money/infrastructure. Their medal count makes sense; only 70 years ago, they conquered all of the relevant Chinese mainland. Those guys are the real deal, just like Britain SHOULD be. They really have let me down this Olympics, but they'll probably step it up this next week.

Anyone has explanation why they got the short end of the stick?
Did the start doping late?
Was it bad dope?
Was the Olympic doping committee settling scores?

That's why we have medals per capita, the only stat that matters.

Olympics anti-dope committee is probably always stepping their game up as much as the dopers are, and this time, some of the Russians got caught and the rest had to bail early

>4th place

It's uncanny. But this would mean that they aren't just playing in a vacuum.

You've learnt well, WORMany

No shit, the Olympics is more than showing off athlete, most countries use it to flex their strength in training, sports funding and scientific research (lol doping). It's a cock comparing contest.

Are you talking about how this ALL started?
Because a russian athlete blew the whistle hard and provided concrete evidence that the russian doping program was government run and that it was as extensive as it could be. Putin must have bribed, scared and assassinated the whole board to let even the current athletes compete.

what sport isn't a dick contest?

>Because a russian athlete blew the whistle hard
Oh fuck thats harsh.
Well every country has its own share of traitors nothing that can be done here.

Its simple, retards.

>poor and fugged economically country
>have much priorities to spend in futility like sbords
>rich and good economically country
>have a shitload of maney to spend in futilitys like in sports (murrica specially case can they can spend private maney)
Reminder, this not works really to commie or post commie shitholes like Rossia, Hungria etc, even tiny shithole like Cuba are relatively good today and in the last are goat.

>Japan
>tiny

This is a common misconception. Japan has 130 million people and is comparable in land size to Germany.

The net probably got some guys that weren't dooping though but it is what is

China on the whole isnt fully developed but their funding and training for athletes is now huge. Kids are born and put into training almost immediately and know nothing else outside that sport.

The chinese are just physically inferior to really dominate physical sports without the use of drugs but the dominate shit like table tennis for a reason.

Muh per capita is just a bit of banter but if you yanks GENUINELY believe believe bigger population doesnt help then you are retarded to be honest

US medals arw all swimming
