Riddle me this Sup Forums Why does almost every non-American complain about how many swimming events there are? They talk like the Olympics have been rigged in our favor so that we can farm golds Doesn't this also give them many opportunities to get gold as well? Hungry has gotten like 4 of its 5 golds from swimming alone yet no one bats any eye Does this prove that every other country is inferior in this sport and are thus forced to make up reasons why they win less golds as damage control?

Foreigners can never swallow their pride enough to give the US credit. It's always some excuse with them.
Just bask in the hate, bro.

Let em cry. We still get the metals.

Swimming has more than double the medals on offer than any other sport in the Olympics.
Luke Reed
And that means more medals for you to potentially win.
What's the problem here?

Why isn't there running backwards in athletics? or running on all four?
Swimming is that ridiculous
Levi Edwards
The reason there's so many is because of politics.

Jacob Howard
Shut the fuck up, Australia. You used to be just as cocky at swimming.
William Campbell
Then get more swimmers nigga! How is this an issue?!
Elijah Robinson
What politics?
:____: "Murka bribed IOC for moar swimming cuz commies were too good."
Fun fact: The commies actually extended their dominance moreso after the period in which more swimming events were included, since East Germany became rather dominant at it.
That's also one of the reasons our swimming program is good. East Germany pretty much pushed us to "git gud."
Grayson Stewart
lol, no we wouldn't

You're clearly not familiar with the term 'future proofing'.
Ryder Phillips
Against what?
East Germany was on their way to ruling the pool until the fall of communism, which I don't think anyone could've predicted in 1968 when they doubled the swimming program.
A better "futureproof" at that time would've been to add more sprint events. 60m, 60m hurdles, 400m hurdles relay, etc, etc.
And again, other countries aren't banned from getting good at swimming, so what's the problem?

Ok, but I wanna see these stats with capita accounted for
