[You Cant Ban Me]

US has big population with diverse genetic backgrounds and great sport programs.

This. Canada for example has 1/10th the population and our athletes get little support. They all have full time jobs and train in their spare time, usually at their own expense.

I heard that Great Britain really stepped up their support for their Olympic athletes and it shows. China started their programs decades ago, but they aren't really contending with the USA like they were expected to.

H2B

fake ass country

[StephHamann]

The USA has 322 mio citizens

Combine France Germany and the UK and the won medals should almost be equal.

Lots of people, lots of money. And tbh, GB is outperforming them anyway...

Our white swimmers do most the damage because of the number of events.

why is it always about race with you? You're obsessed with segregating and dividing everything in to little groups based on race.

Cut it out.

Considering resources and population the fact it is even as close as it is is an embarrassment for America.

Americans also seem to care way more about these sorts of things than other people; it's strange.

because the rest of the world overrated the white house

"As close as it is"

It's really not that close lol

Extreme amount of population comparing to other good olympic countries like GB, Germany, france and so on.
Obviously the infrastructure level is great too, and there's at least some attention for every bigger sport.
