I know about that strategy. Also, China is doing great work in youth sports, even children sports. USA doesnt do that.

I believe that referees or judges are hugely biased in diving. They were giving 10s for more than average dives. Also, i really dont know why other nations cant learn how to enter water without so much splashing. Its also a huge factor why China has so much advantage over other nations.

Table tennis started to be more competitive, Chinese men started losing more regularly, so its interesting to watch. Diving was interesting until Paris as we always had at least one gold medal not be claimed by China. This time dives were boring as we already knew who will win even after 1st dives. IOC must change something because if 8 golds are won by the same country more than once, something is fishy. Who could endanger them? Not so sure. I had hopes in Mexico, Ukraine, GB but they are just to weak. I can bet that with this system we will have 8 golds for China in LA too.

Winning almost dozen medals less than in London or Rio speaks contrairly. But i agree, China doing their job with 100% success doesnt give many options to USA.

Its hard to win or even hope when 4 down when games are almost over. I have no doubt about basketball but gold in volleyball isnt sure at all. Italy was great whole tournament.

Not that they dont think about that

Maybe not an authoritarian country but USA uses this medal table in broader sense than just sportive one. I have no doubt about that. Olympic success was and will always be used in many other causes, politic ones too. China is expanding in all sports, USA loses dominance in their traditional strongholds. But i agree, China does know where are their best opportunities and uses that to the max.

I am neutral here but USA needs to change something. Only time, AFAIK, when China topped the medal table was in 2008. In Rio USA had 40 + golds, China less than 30. In Tokyo China was down by 1. Now, USA will 99% lose this battle. System in USA is obviously fragile in all sports.

They still have one huge favorite. I thinks she is WR holder too. China makes no errors, USA does.

No chance that Gianmarco can compete. Even if pain lessens, he would be so fatigued to compete. I feel so sorry for him.

USA can win few golds in athletics but no single gold is certain. Even with 4 golds in team sports, USA still is less certain to win golds in other sports than China is. (weightlifting, boxing...) USA destroyed their overall chances primarily in swimming.

Just 2 opportunities left. Kyle is great, his career speaks for itself, he is def gold prospect. Blades probably wont win in 1/2f.

Norway dominating, Lund perfect. Well done.

China will lead by 4 golds. I dont think USA can handle that.

Afghan breakdancer was DQ for bringing political message but Raven Saunders wasnt. Hilarious

Kurek is angry.

France can't be beaten today. This level of blocking is insane.

Bach was watching final yesterday. I only hope that he felt a shame watching this. Respect for the breakers but this isnt a sport. Will all my effort, i couldnt find no positive thing.

Denmark really struggles with Slovenia. I think Slovenia beat them in ECh 2024. Now, Henson should retire with a gold.

Well done boys, great match! I still think Serbia had USA. Bitter sweet feeling but overall, proud.

BEST football match in last few years! Well done Spain! Great match of France too!

Time is 48.15 New OR

This referee was absolute fail. VAR was absolute fail. Penalty was a nice gift from Brazilian but to be honest, Spain defending 45 minutes was a disastrous call. So, France deserved OT.

Spain blew this.

Exactly 6 Russians in 74 kg. 1/3 of all wrestlers.
