For me, it's no matter of hatred or jealousy. It's just kind of boring, when a country dominates.

Exactly. People even demand that Chinese domination sports like Table Tennis should be removed from Olympics. Compared to that, USA gets no heat from other nation's fans.

Yap, the heights that were selected are crazy. The athletes will barely have a chance to jump at all. 

 

Edit: a 1.91 and 1.94 would have solved the problem.
