So 2 of 3 should tie. That would be great. I know basketball should win, but volleyball are underdogs. Not sure about Blades, whether she’s favorite in wrestling or not. It will be an interesting finish.

I’d be plenty happy to tie with China

i'd still be happy even 2nd in golds, but 1st overall... we have 1/3 of their population, yet dominate every 4 years... frick them

2 of their swimming medals should be disqualified, as they for sure are doping... it's not even a question really

now, ping pong and diving? yeah, they dominate that obscure shite, and i'd love to see us develop stronger divers to challenge them, but yeah, they get that bump every time they show at the pool...

as far as ping pong... there's a reason they say "so and so has more balls than a Chinese ping pong tournament"... they are synonymous with the "sport", but they can have it...

Again, if the US has better athletes, why don't we also dominate these events? We should have better athletes able to dive and ping pong than China if what you are saying is true


Ping Pong isn't athletic. We have the best athletes. Diving may be more athletic than Ping Pong. There isn't a push in the US for this because they are seen as cheap medals. Same reason US is ranked 15th in world for soccer. There isn't a push.

Italy is -200 and US +184 for Volleyball so US not favored there. May be lose by 1 gold. We could win if it weren't for Mondo and Shelby being D bags by refusing to compete for the country that gave them everything and refusing to split a gold.

The 76 kg US wrestler is favored a little bit.

Didn’t we have like 3-4 wc’s in the field? This just doesn’t compute. Might be time to turn the natl team over to Cael Sanderson and see if that doesn’t shake shite up
