מה המצב? i agree with your assessment, all the medals are amazing! but outside of them not too many achievements, it's a bit disappointing that Kantor or Dolgopyat didn't win gold, but at least they won something, other judokas lost pretty easily and i was hoping at least more then 1 can get to the quarters, Samberg wasn't at her best, Also Salpeter was leading but this course was just too tough for her. The soccer team could've been better, just one win against mali and things could've looked differently. But, 7 medals, after the current situation in the country, is incredible, and hopefully i can see some medals here live in 2028. Want to mention Peter Paltchik who had threats on his life leading up to the opening ceremony and went out there and shoved it in the face of the haters!

There is no reason to retype this, so i'll add to it if you don't mind Heartbreak - Biles making mistakes twice on one day and missing a chance for 5 golds. Ellison missing a gold based on centimeters. Jagger Eaton losing a gold on the last trick. Mix Team Skeet missing a gold by one miss. Triathlon Mixed Relay photo finish, Nevin Harrison also photo finish. I don't know if i consider Shelby McEwen, after all he had the gold in his grasp, Brooke Raboutou (I know it's a great achievement for her, and wasn't realistic for her to beat Garnbert, but still it was so close), Men's Gymnastics (Especially Stephen Nedoroscik!) Surprises - Kristen Faulkner! Hocker, Hall, Russell Disappointments - Beach Volleyball, Women's Water Polo, The swimming team

That's all true. And it's too bad that they so majorly divested from this sport. I'm guessing one of the reasons is seeing one country domination doesn't really bring a lot of interest in the sport. So maybe if they keep it they should limit the overall amount of athletes per noc just like in weightlifting.

Catelyn Clark, look her up. On Something? no, i'm straight edge, though a bit sleep deprived from having a newborn, but other then that just sick and tired watching china get even close to us in the medal stand, because of cheating in swimming, and getting golds without competition, i don't know if i'm more excited in 2028 to cheer for USA or boo china out of the building tbh.

Well China does have communist leadership, it's in their name......

Baseball shouldn't have a space unless they can get a commitment from MLB that they will allow the best to participate, it will be interesting to see what they will do in LA28, however i wouldn't bet on it because they have the WBC. Outside of it not too many people will turn out to watch some minor leaguers play, Ohtani vs USA in dodger stadium..... now that would be something amazing, hopefully it will happen

yes, if one country would end up dominating those sports and they will be as unpopular as diving and table tennis then sure, throw them away as well. There is a case to be made for archery, in Field hockey you had different before the current cycle netherlands only won one of 4 medals, so doesn't count. And sure you can throw away basketball, NBA is the big prize anyway, too bad that it's the most expensive ticket around, and people care much more about watch Lebron James, Steph, Jokic, Doncic and Giannis then some commie diving (and probably getting overscored, but who knows)

I don't need to watch during the year. There are better things to watch. It's enough to see the disgusting amount of golds that is taken without an ounce of competition

Well also add that everyone watches basketball, it's one of the most popular sports in the Olympics, you see the popularity that catelyn clark gathering. And that's before she even joined the olympic team. In 2028 she will bring huge rating. While no one gives 2 shits about some commies jumping into water and the only reason this joke of a sport staying while breaking is leaving is that the IOC don't want to piss off their real leaders. The ccp. Same reason they allowed the swimmers to dope as much as they want without repercussions

The same amount as I watch archery, badminton, fencing, judo, rowing, beach volleyball and many other sports

Since 2008... Women- 5 gold, 5 silver Men - 5 gold, 4 silver Women team - 5 gold Men team- 5 gold Where is the competition? Anything? Buller?

So what you're saying is that there is a bias for the commies. And against anyone who is against the dopers

1 out of 8 is a fluke

yea i'm aware that they lose one by fluke usually, but how many do they win by more then 20? they also lost a fluke mixed table tennis in tokyo, it's an outlier

they literally almost lost to Serbia! last time they lost to France, the world caught up to the American's, the best players are in the NBA are now from Greece, Serbia and Slovenia, claiming that the men's basketball is just ignorance
