Another scenario: The Chinese rider intentionally crashes into the United States during the points race of the omnium to prevent her from winning gold. Or maybe the United States wins one of those golds, but somehow chokes the basketball game. I don't know if the US rider is the favourite but that often works against you in the Omnium (and Madison) as you're heavily marked by your competitors.

Pavlo 139 Posted August 11 #343 Share Posted August 11 As to this China - USA rivalry..from obvious reasons i always rooted for USA. But now i have to admit Chinese athletes and staff look very positive, relaxed, like there is some small change. Nice. Wish them well. opruh 1 I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 1,223 Posted August 11 #344 Share Posted August 11 I don't really care one way or the other, but I'd prefer the US to top the medals table as it's a much more a genuine grass roots sporting nation than China.

Not exactly. We think of China that way because...we know why. But looking at it wider....it is one of the oldest civilazations (yes, sportive too) and USA has many sins like atomic bomb or native people😉😉. Also with hiding their doping. No, it's not that simple as media are saying 😉😉. I just think we should look at it wider. Not be so biased.

Simply, there are probably not many amateur divers in China. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of sports being dominated by elite-only programs without any grass root to support it. Seems a bit factice to me (and it's not only about China). Pavlo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different approaches maybe. Not better / worse. And maybe we underestimate them, i don't know. Here they look reallly well, sometimes more emotional than Americans. I just mean that for the first time i am not biased. Why not China. I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkats 294 Posted August 11 #349 Share Posted August 11 As someone who knows nothing about wrestling, is Japan likely to win both of their gold medal matches later? I’m assuming their favourites in at least 1. Hoping Australia can hang on to 3rd but it’s unlikely now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
