Not sure what those „sins“ have to do with anything …

You could have also mentioned the Chinese „sins“ (Tibet, Uyghurs, Taiwan, Hong Kong). 
Still Asian countries feel much more like „grass roots sports nations“ when you just look at the (healthiness of) population. I think being the number one in sports is very important for the American identity (especially when they have no war to cheer for), so it would be interesting to see what happens if China takes that away from them for good. We saw what happened when the Soviet Union did it. „Bread and circuses“ has been a very effective approach to keep the population sedated/distracted for at least 2000 years.

I get your point. I think i clearly mentioned that we all know Chinese sins, problems etc. But it is not a reason to wipe out their great history or to idealize USA. And i clearly mentioned that Chinese team makes better impression here. If we look at martial arts conclusion can be different. I just mentioned that first time i have seen some promising signs. Only this. 

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

By the way if it stays 40-40 with golds (which is probably the case) what would have made the difference?

Maybe for

China: Imane Khalif box final (could they somehow challenge that?)

US: err, that high jump

Shi Zhiyong bottled his C&J after a comfortable snatch lead and also Su Weide's falls in the team all-around cost China.

Oh, we're pretty happy with the third biggest medal haul after the US and China. It's also the fourth consecutive Games we've won more than 60 medals.

 

2012 – 65

2016 – 67

2020 – 64

2024 – 65

High point from China perspective is not their sweep in TT or Diving but it is their wins in Tennis, gains in Boxing and Hockey that is really impressive.

Rowing is the biggest disappointment alongwith Artistic Gymnastics (W). Judo, Wrestling and Athletics subpar.

So it will be 40-40 in the end because the US lost in wrestling and losing in volleyball. The US will take over with the last event, women's basketball.

They should completely destroy their economy, like southern European countries, and then beg other European nations for billions of euros, so that they can invest in sports and keep the population sedated.

Instead of looking to the south of Europe, maybe they should follow the example of Norway and Sweden?

Direct result of the Olympics: rhythmic gymnastics coaches in Beijing receiving a MASSIVE increase of incoming students (and revenues) (I am the neighbour :rolleyes:)

Ireland had their best ever Olympic Games in Paris finishing in 19th place on the final medals table with 4 golds and 3 bronze medals.

It surpassed all of my expectations and Paris will have a very special place in my heart with lots of beautiful memories. I got to experience the Olympics in person for the first time in my life and it did not disappoint, I loved every minute of it and the atmosphere was wonderful.

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
    • Maciusiak is a budget option for the 'lean years' that are set to kick in. This was planned for many years once Stoch, Kubacki & Żyła retire (or become too old to have good results). We don't have any juniors and the development has been screwed for many seasons now. Results should get even worse especially if Wąsek suddenly drops off w/o Thurnbichler (as he was the only one who clearly profited under TT's coaching).
    • World Cup Finals in Planica (SLO)   Men´s Team Flying Hill:   1.  Austria (Tschofenig/Fettner/Hoerl/Kraft)    1749.3 2. Germany (Geiger/Wellinger/Paschke/Eisenbichler)    1720.2 3. Slovenia (Kos/Prevc/Zajc/Lanisek)    1707.2   Full Final Result HERE
    • Matt Denny threw 68.17,possibly not what he was looking for his final meet before ramona,but we'll see how that goes.  
    • Lachlan Kennedy had a huge pb to beat gout gout over  200 meters at the maurie plant meet .
    • Sory  my mistake "99% has no problems" should be.  Apologize for this mistake. Nobody in Poland even talk about this kind of issue.
    • I have no clue who these ''99'' procent are and it's actually this annoying  superiorioty complex attitude that actually gets poles disliked here.Vilnius is OUR CAPITAL,it has been so forever,poland has no basis to have it,the fact we were once in a commenwealth does not mean you just get to declare another city yours.i don't know how you wrote this comment and expected me to have a good reacton to it.
    • Italy's bad luck again. We can't break through this season - even if we achieve some success, a slip-up comes in a moment and it's like that all the time. Today could have been gold for us if the American hadn't cut Moiola. This season is like that, let it finally end and let the next one be better for us - and above all less unlucky. We have 15x 4/5 places this winter season, with only 14 podiums and that's unlucky.
    • Dorival Junior has been fired as NT manager. No surprise. The 'Vinicius era' team is probably even worse than 'Neymar era' team
