MAKSIM Posted August 11 Posted August 11 1 minute ago, Ms. Togekiss said: Is China done with all of their events? Yes. China has no more gold medal opportunities. USA has two, one of which is basically guaranteed (women's basketball) and the other is a 50/50 (wrestling). USA will win the medal count.

GipJo Posted August 11 Posted August 11 China ties US in gold is a good wake up call for USA tbh. The next move probably is removing Boxing so China loses golds in that regard, and 28LA has some new categories where USA has advantage. But seriously, USA used to be very good in diving, where are the talents? Swimming is also looking weaker and weaker.
Green Posted August 11 Posted August 11 It's gonna be really close France 49-49 USA so far with less than 6 minutes left

Not to mention men's gymnastics that has been terrible for a few cycles now. They really need to get their **** together bc we used to stomp with the gold medal counts and now we're hoping for a miracle to tie it

The planned removal of Boxing and weightlifting - the two strongest medal chances for China - was quiet suspicious Weighlifting is confirmed for 2028 by now though.
JennyWayne Posted August 11 Posted August 11 USA didn't have a terrible swimming event, it's just that they don't have Michael Phelps anymore. That heavily inflated their swimming medals between 2008-2016
Chemist Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Boxing is an awful sport but at lot of developing countries are strong there. If anything sailing should be removed. It's so boring and long, does anyone actually follows that? 1
EtherealCat Posted August 11 Posted August 11 why are we removing boxing and weightlifting when we could be removing football and rugby?

I mean, the US only had 1 more gold than China at the Tokyo Olympics so it shouldn't come as a complete shock. China has been expanding their expertise and picking up medals in some of their traditionally weaker sports such as swimming. The US needs to start doing that. It blows my mind they don't seem to be competing in sports like rowing or kayak/canoeing when most countries send their talent to the US on scholarships

Rugby 7s provides one of the few opportunities for Pacific Nations (like Fiji) to win an Olympic medal. If Europe gets to keep handball then don't come for Rugby.
family.guy123 Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Did the announcer say their record is 61-0 at the Olympics? Maybe this shouldn't be at the Olympics
stochastic Posted August 11 Posted August 11 My god that was such an ugly game for the US. They should feel embarrassed. Wouldn't even consider that a win. They really need new blood like Clark and Reese bc they were playing like grannies
fridayteenage Posted August 11 Posted August 11 US individual swimming golds this year: Bobby Finke (+silver) Katie Ledecky (+bronze) Katie Ledecky Kate Douglass (+silver) Torri Huske (+silver) aged 24, 27, 22, 21. They can return.

I don't care for boxing either way but it is ABSURD to think that weightlifting shouldn't be an Olympic sport

Maybe this shouldn't be at the Olympics Their record is 61-0 since 1996. They have lost and just beat France by a single point. This is much closer than most Olympic events.
