Swim

All of Cubas best swimmers moved to America

They have a few individuals who enter lots of events and win lots of gold medals. If everyone could only win one medal they may struggle to be first.

>Britain hanging around like cockroaches

They completely fund their athletes

It's an inside job man. It's 9/11 on a Olympic scale

Several reasons.
Russia, Usa, China and the Uk are big countries. they have big influence in everything what they do.
>If a big name in their sports has a positive on a doping test. It will probably be washed away. It's not with everyone though (Jones, Gay).
>Money => Bribery.

And to end positive:
>Loads of funding, because of lots of money and fame to the greatness of their country.

>Money
>Programs
>Heart

Pick any

Per capita

who are the britsits for 400, alex?

Larger pool of athletes to draw from. Financial resources to field athletes in pretty much every sport.

Shut the fuck up jesus christ big names get outed for doping all the time, take the damn tin foil hat off you frog in german clothes.

We're honka honka burning love

It's okay.
Just let it all out.
I know you're still butthurt about Iceland.

He says as he posts a British actor.

the us is one of the few countries that spends virtually no money on its athletes.

>Let's take the situation at home. The U.S. government provides no financial support to its athletes (of the 200+ countries that attend the games, we're one of three to not do so), which places the onus for athlete funding on the U.S. Olympics Committee. As a nonprofit with an estimated annual budget of $170 million, they can only afford to offer stipends and other benefits to a small number of athletes, most of whom will be competing in high-profile, recognizable sports.

the USA olympic committee is able to provide stipends and stuff to a few superstars, but the US doesnt have anything close to the olympic infrastructure of china

all the genetic alphas of the world made it here from their poor shitholes to succeed in the land of the free

how the fuck did china win so many gold medals in 2008? was that shit rigged?

>AMERICAN Psycho

I know, right? Dopers get punished accordingly. I don't see why everyone is so mad about it.

This sums it up.

BIG

and literally everything else with the exceptions of kicking a ball and pretending to be injured when somebody runs too close to you

PEDs

>beichink

what do you think

Everyone knows that you cheat
Just look what happend in cycling that's clear you can't deny

olympics are a political event

Would Kenya compete for top 10 if Bahrain and Qatar didn't buy their best athletes?

this also the cold war never ended

Bigger pool of athletes to choose from = more chances to win

STRONG

Here's an article that briefly attempts to answer why the US bring in so many olympic medals (money is spent on what we're good at, institutions are good at promoting knowledge transfer, college athletics provides a vast pool of talent.) It also makes an argument for why """per capita""" matters. In short, the US sporting institution has a wide talent pool, but fails to get the very best out of all of its talent (obviously swimming is an exception.) Our athletes lack the auxiliary support of scientists and doctors other countries provide. We're being out innovated by Australia, Canada, and the UK.

we have the most golds in different events

americans need swimming

>britcycles

They are the largest 1st world country with a massive economy, pretty obvious you stupid leaf

>America
>1st world

Something to be said for fear of messing up in your home turf, especially in an Asian country. See any international event Japan has hosted. Watch south Korea jump up big time.

I dunno about that. Most (if not all?) sports have limits on how many athletes each country can send, so the per capita argument doesn't really work. Compare number of medals won to number of athletes sent for a better comparison.

Doping.

The u.s collegiate system has more infrastructure, resources, expertise and money than the most of the other countries governments can possibly hope to spend on their athletes. the only difference is that its private

so keep your mouth shut please cuck

A big story right now is whether or not Ledecky will enroll and swim at Stanford. The greats are targeted and trained before college.

For all the per capita, US sucks arguments, here's a handy chart I just made showing how many medals the top few countries have won per athlete they sent.

It's pretty clear.
