Ok buddy. You keep being happy with being second or third best, looking up to other countries shitting excellence on us.


Lighten up Francis, it’s not like we’re losing these races to Luxembourg. It’s the Caribbean, they’re always throwing out athletic freaks.

The US doesn’t have a chokehold on athleticism, the rest of the world exists

I think fielding that many elite athletes shows how dominant we are in T&F

But this says it’s a heat?

Bronze in an event we’ve hardly ever medaled, 10,000m

Probably the most impressive feat so far.

Well, hell... seems like you oughta do something about it. Go over there and run. Or at least tell them what they are doing wrong. Surely you are better than these guys are.

I didn't know it was raining that badly during the 100m final. The photos coming out are incredible though.

Ok. The size of your Olympic team has nothing to do with how elite your athletes are on the global stage.

It simply means you have the resources to send a bunch of athletes. They could all suck compared to the rest of the world.

If you have that many athletes who are winning medals it does.

I always used to chuckle to myself watching the dec/hept bros run the 1500/800 at our conference meet.

You said the size of your Olympic team means you have elite athletes.

It doesn't.
