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!

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...... 

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 

i'm not talking about specific events, but a sport as a whole, and yes there was one (1!!!) event where it was close in diving, what about the other 7? what about the others since 2000? they had 46 golds out of 56 (over 80%!!!) wanna check how many of those were won in under 10 points?

Yes, it should, it's not that there are too many medals, it's that there is no competition, What was the closest result in diving? what about Table Tennis? yea i know there was a fluke with the swede, but the other guy won easily, and their teams and mixed teams won easily as well, it's not about the amount of medals, it's the lack of competition

Two medals in Basketball (and even then, the women won by one point, and the men almost lost to Serbia). versus 8 in diving and 5 in table tennis that are always gonna go to China, there is no math here.

Remove sports that are dominated by one country, namely Diving and Table Tennis, if China wins all the medals then what is the point of competition (Badminton used to be part of it, but looks much more equal now in the past 3 cycles), Also remove Boxing which they are doing anyway, and Weightlifting, it's not really a competition, at this point it's who dopes the most, and we know China wins the doping contest hands down since Russia is banned. 
 
I would add a team golf competition, something like the ryder cup

So whats stopping Algeria from hosting the Games, you could add your own indigenous sports

The lack of Russians helped China more.    Russia would've won the golds in artistic swimming and rhythmic gymnastics

I get that you are biased , but no, they actually didn't, the gold was tied, so then it went to sort by total medals..... therefore USA won

Also amazing games for Israel!!! 7 medals.  One gold.   Really amazing showing.   !!!!
 
אל אל ישראל!!!!! 
 
More then almost every middle Eastern nation besides Iran

2 can play this game
 
Brady Ellison lost a gold on cm's
Nevin Harrison lost in a photo finish
Biles fell of a beam and stepped out on the floor.  
Lyles lost the 200 gold because of covid
Triathlon mixed relay photo finish loss
 
Not to mention the swimming mixed relay that was a doped medal ( will be eventually returned to usa once congress is done with ioc)
