1/3 of Chinas gold medal come from the competitions, not sports.

Most come from random sporting events/competition a relative handful of people play seriously.

I only count 3 gold medals of their 19 in a sport that aren't niche.


Yeah, this strategy really went nuts (and paid off) when they hosted in 2008. They spent years prepping athletes for all the rando sports and nearly doubled their medal count, and they've kept that strategy going


They must be having Bill Byrne consulting for them

Pretty much. That said, it did work. 48 golds led the 2008 games, beating us by 12.

Or whoever Stanfords AD is as it's pretty much how they are at the top of the directors cup every year- win or do well in lots of little competitive niche sports

Earlier today I saw a bunch of the liberals from my childhood posting the stat that only US women had won gold so far and they were carrying the men. Would it be appropriate to remind them that women have been using funding from men's sports for the past 50 to prop up US women's sports against the rest of the world?

Yes, the rest of the world does not have Title IX.

I read where two semi finalist "women's" boxers are men. They are guaranteed a medal. Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting.

Olympics is a degenerate freak show now.

Best things out of the Olympics are the Turkish shooter and the French dude being tripped up by his own junk.

Speaking of the shooting comp- why shouldn't every shooter have to do what the Turkish guy does? Grab a gun and go shoot. Are you really that good if you look like the damn terminator with all your gear on?

Yep. 3 from non niche sports tennis and swimming and they got busted drugging up their swimmers.

Yep, this ain't over. They still have four diving events to go, the team table tennis events, and synchronized swimming, all of which they dominate.

They also have athletes in rassling and lady boxing.

The pre-Olympic projections had us err, edging the Chinese out in Gold medals with a range in the upper 30s to their mid 30s depending on the news source.

I have no clue though how the actual results have played out for each country vs the projections.

Paraguay swimmer Luana Alonso announced her retirement on Instagram after failing to advance through the 100m butterfly heats in the 2024 Paris Olympics, but that was not the only headline she made.

Jason Hall of Fox Sports 1300 noted she remained in the Olympic Village despite her retirement announcement and then, according to Paraguayan media outlets, went to Disneyland Paris instead of staying to support her teammates.

I can't believe that in 2024 you can still get kicked off of an Olympic team for being Gay.

I read that many people (guys, probably) are saying she's going to start an Only Fans account.

Hopefully there'll be no more of these types of stories so the focus can be on the athletes competing.

She drank champagne at Disneyland. I guess they thought she was using village as vacation hotel. The horrors.

Since we are taking this tangent. I would highly encourage you to watch the USA v Canada women's beach volleyball match. I watched it very closely. Unfortunately, the USA lost, but all I can say is "Oh Canada....."
