So here we are at yet another Olympics, another country, and once again we are dominating.
I visited Sup Forums the other night and noticed the salt was very real, and the
>"MUH CAPITA"
excuse, which doesn't hold up, was everywhere
So I thought we'd take a few moments to help the rest of the world relieve their salt by helping them come up with new, original excuses for being dominated by the greatest country on earth.
I'll start:
>"I only care about gold in "X" sport, so those are the only medals that matter"
Noah Martinez
>it's 2016 and moon racing isn't a sport.
Fuck can you imagine rockets lined up ready for blasting off on their race to the moon and back?
Nathan Miller
But that would be just yet another sport we'd be the only ones good at
maybe even the only ones to participate!
Michael Lee
Fuck we completely dominate
Cameron Edwards
American athletes are the only ones who dope is my favorite this olympics
Isaac Cooper
>ameriswims
Dominic Thompson
>live on island >isn't gold in swimming
Christian Sullivan
Am surprised Spain are doing so well t b h. They're above New Zealand!
Connor Cook
USA will lose the apehoop gold medal match against Australia thus losing the Olympics forever. Cap this post
Kevin Gomez
considering GB's smaller population i'm really impressed with how many medals they have. Is there a term for this phenomenon?
Lucas Williams
No one cares about the Olympics and its meme sports.
Football is back nigger
Parker Carter
yes it's called getting CRUMPETED
Nathaniel Mitchell
Cycling
Sebastian Williams
you dominate... at swimming, that's most of it.
Jose Collins
except, no, did you even watch gymnastics?
Gay Germany, what the fuck are you even doing over there?
Pay attention!!
Adam Jenkins
I'm happy with 3rd after the shit show and Sup Forums bullying of the first few days
Nathaniel Scott
I'm sorry for bullying you bro
I'm too impressed . You'd think Germany would be I'm third or something - good job
Bentley Hernandez
Doping
Andrew Reed
Funding
Jackson King
We invented boats thousands of years ago m8, no need to swim anymore.
Adam Carter
Are other countries even trying?
Alexander Jackson
>29 out of 52 medals are swimming >that's more than 50%
Austin Roberts
Gay.....Germany.....
Lincoln Fisher
>his country stacks in swimming to pad their stats
William Bailey
you guys do realise it doesnt actually matter that swimming has 'more medals'?
Colton Jenkins
Europe > USA
>burgers on suicide watch
Liam Young
What do you mean? Amerifats are only good at Athletics and Swimming and there are a billion events for both of those so therefore they win disproportionate medals. Pretty simple
Henry Myers
Yeah? Why cause you guys beat us the first time around...
Jason Bennett
yay the kiwis got another gold
Samuel Bailey
Don't go so doopin' mental Teddy, no one gives a crud
Bentley Clark
It does when a single GOAT athlete can win 80% of the swimming events. There are no 125, 150, or 75 meter sprints for Bolt to win pointless extra medals in.
Christian Cook
>american """"banter""""
Aiden Taylor
Shut the fuck up and get back to picking my coffee beans you piece of shit
Julian Jenkins
Seven gold for Germany, when did this happen?
Anthony Morris
>It does when a single GOAT athlete can win 80% of the swimming events
Daily reminder that staying salty and making excuses will not produce a GOAT athlete to aid world domination in olympic gold medals
git gud and train your athletes and maybe one day you can come close to competing with the Grandmaster Greatest Country On Earth US Of A
>though not likely :^)
Eli Wilson
>There are no 125, 150, or 75 meter sprints for Bolt to win pointless extra medals in. So?
Sebastian Cox
We got humiliated in 1996 so hard with our 1 (ONE) gold that it became a source of national embarrassment.
Turns out that's a great way to get government funding in sports.
David Miller
Swimming should only give 1/4th of a medal progression.
Gabriel Bell
8*
Kayden Flores
Maybe yuropoors suck so much at swimming because their water is so fucking salty
Nolan Hernandez
Ah, so this is the american banter i've heard so much about.
Blake Lee
I think Brazil is headed in that direction this year with their 1 (ONE) gold medal
I don't think this will improve their funding, though
Luke Ortiz
>have the best swimmer in the world >get five medals
>have the best discus-thrower in the world (for example) >get one medal
Smh like I don't know man.
Jackson Hill
Fucking North Korea has more medals than us.
Blake Morgan
Instead of being a salty bitch why not train a better swimmer, then?
Come on krautz, it's not rocket science
Jose Cruz
kek
Lincoln Nelson
>every country that is not the Grandmaster Greatest Country On Earth US Of A btfo
Xavier Reyes
you'd think they would understand the concept. germans are smart, right?
Jayden Fisher
>Amerifats building working rockets without nazis holding their hands
Eli Reyes
>4 swimming events, 41 total events 100 years ago
>34 swimming events, 300+ total events now
It's still the same ratio, but with 1-3 countries so dominant in the professon, it appears to be unfair now that there is so many events now at the Olympics
Matthew Howard
Yeah, maybe we should revive that eugenetics program again.
Jack Foster
...
Ryan Ortiz
>70+ years later >still mad
Not our fault your country turned into such a shithole during that period that all your best scientists came to us
Also, not our fault you suck at war and lost, hanz. To the victor belong the spoils.
Being a salty bitch won't change any of this, krautz
Ethan Roberts
>who is Robert Goddard
Also who invented the airplane?
Jordan Adams
but swimming in salt water is easier, ameridumb
Jace Flores
>germans making bird suits and jumping off of tall structures while the wright brothers actually fly >germany pls
Hudson Brown
I think it seems unfair because one person can win so many events, so one goat can cean up (Phelps is the 10th ranked country at these Olympics). Things like judo, weightlifting etc have loads of events but competitiors are divided by weight so can't win much, and stuff like rowing it is impossible to compete in more than 2 races max even though there are loads of medals on offer.
In a way, this just shows that the medals table is a bit pointless anyhow, as for example the mens 100m sprint is given the same weighting as the womens 10m air rifle.
William Jenkins
Yeah? Well whose fault is that?
Maybe next time there's a world war you shouldn't let the Russians curb stomp and flatten you and split your country in half, totally and utterly humiliating you
John Smith
Thats how it should be, but the world has a big emphasis on entertainment. Seeing somone run/swim really fucking fast is more alluring than any good marksmanship and thus is rated as more important despite it not being the case.
Joseph Turner
>In a way, this just shows that the medals table is a bit pointless anyhow
That's a good excuse, Chaucer, I will add it to the list of excuses you cucks can make when being dominated by the Grandmaster Greatest Country On Earth US Of A
Angel Green
So Jamaica is behind the USA in the ranking. It's not that hard Tommy.
Zachary Fisher
Gustav Weißkopf did.
Robert Smith
lol, what the fuck is that thing? that is not an airplane you jackass
Caleb Bennett
The medals table [i]is[/i] pointless and completely meaningless. The only thing it measures is how effective your fucking organising bodies are, which nobody is interested in except themselves.
Lincoln Murphy
Europe (Britain, Germany, France) has more medals than USA with less population.
Bentley Brooks
embarrassing post
please delete
Jordan White
>which nobody is interested in except themselves
What did he mean by this?
John Garcia
Congrats USA with milking the medal heavy sport just like we do with ice skating in winter.
I'm just happy we literally have the most qts
Noah Miller
It means nobody except the british olympics funding board and related people are interested in how they are structured and apportion fund.
fundamentally the point is the medals table means the square root of fuck all and seeing niggerchimps posting about it all the time is dull.
Adam Johnson
Tell that to the passengers of the Titanic
Cameron Richardson
Pur crapita
Brandon Rodriguez
delete your life pal
Camden Butler
>tfw 3rd
Adrian Young
ooooouchhhh
Nathan Hernandez
If you were on Sup Forums during the 2012 olympics I seem to remember the Eurocuck's excuse when being dominated by the Grandissimo Grandmaster Greatest of All Countries On Earth US Of A was that they couldn't be counted individually
They started pooling their medals as the European Union, but I guess that would be stupid now because of #Brexit
Not that the eurocucks wouldn't do something because it's stupid We already listed this excuse and determined it's not valid
We're trying to come up with new excuses for when the Grandissimo Grandmaster Greatest of All Countries On Earth US Of A dominates you, come on geoffrey think outside the box
Gavin Carter
only thing that matters is beating our neighbours
Nathaniel Gonzalez
>Who is Adam Peaty
Joshua Edwards
In our case it's finishing above the French and the Aussies. Finishing above Ireland is an obvious given.
Kevin Hughes
Chile only dreams now. T. Australia
Lincoln Rodriguez
That's a good excuse too, swedish meatball
I'll add it to the list of excuses you can make when the Grandissimo Grandmaster Greatest of All Countries On Earth US Of A dominates you at the olympics
Good ideas, keep them coming fellas
Josiah King
Are you implying that the athletic ability of a country's athletes is irrelevant and that the medal county only comes down to how organized a country's Olympic administrators are? Because it seems like that's where you're going with this.
Brandon Rogers
Dolla dolla bill y'all
Nolan Campbell
Then have your country train an elite swimmer! Whats so hard to understand about that? Your country will be underwater in 30 years anyway so it would probably be of good use.
Connor Reed
Pretty sure Phelps has a lower population than europe
Grayson Jenkins
>Are you implying that the athletic ability of a country's athletes is irrelevant Yes. Despite what memers say they are not competing for 'team gb' to win 'team gb the most medals and win the olympics'
Adam Gutierrez
Well then learn how to swim bitch boy
Brandon James
thanks obama
Luis Stewart
>Best Korea >5 medals umm, sir? we're gonna have some vacancies in the camps...
Gabriel Russell
>Despite what memers say they are not competing for 'team gb' to win 'team gb the most medals and win the olympics'
Ok that makes it into the list of excuses you can make when the Grandissimo Grandmaster Greatest of All Countries On Earth US Of A dominates you
Good stuff good stuff
Keep them coming, britain, so far you're the best at coming up with excuses
Elijah Williams
I don't have any medals and never will have m8
Robert Jenkins
Saved
Lucas Baker
Please explain how it's not the case that better athletes win more medals.
Michael Jenkins
Shut the fuck up Texas, you don't get your own flag
Get back in the union and start flying the 50 stars again
Sebastian Barnes
> >
Dominic Clark
They do, aggregating them means nothing.
Ian Gomez
>germans are smart, right?
lolno
Lincoln Miller
Are you saying our athletes are deliberately finishing 4th and 5th in their events just to spite their teammates?
Dylan King
Brace yourselves for Mexico's gold rush in 2036.
Ian Gomez
>aggregating them [medals] means nothing
Ok added one more to the list of excuses you make when the Grandissimo Grandmaster Greatest of All Countries On Earth US Of A dominates you
Keep 'em coming
Adrian Rivera
Yes, but I'm trying to figure out *why* you think it doesn't mean anything. The Olympics is an international competition. It makes sense to count the number of medals each country wins in order to compare them. Assuming you're saying that it's all about each country's administrative abilities, I'm asking for *evidence* of that.
