why do refs feel the need to push the US basketball team? ffs
China’s best events are diving and table tennis. How does table tennis net you 5 golds? China has 8 gold medals in diving alone. They also dominate synchronized swimming.China tops the medal list with 37 gold medals. USA follows with 35 as of now.
12 golds in Athletics and 8 golds in Swimming for the USA
1 gold in Athletics and 2 golds in Swimming for China
You do wonder if 1 gold medal = 1 gold medal.
Swimmers can compete in a ton of events, fighters (wrestling, taekwondo, judo, boxing) can only compete in one. Track athletes can compete in 2-3..
I just think we need to place an asterisk on these medal tables.
He drinks chlorine for breakfast.btw, David Popovici is a beast. how can one look so efortless while swimming?
I don't think anyone cares now.US and China end up tied on 40 gold medals.
In the end the two high jumpers deciding not to split the gold had a “big impact.” Not that Americans will care again for 4 years.
