If you take the medal counts in terms of gold silver etc. This has been the most successful game for China outside of China (barring the Beijing Olympics).
I was trying to highlight how far China has come. From being the laughing stock, through political isolation to giants amongst sporting nations. Something we all should feel very proud about.
Sending more athletes doesn't equates to more medals. Also athletes have to meet certain minimum standards to qualify.
This is it. I'm not the one counting medals per se. I just against the way western MSM always using medal counts as propaganda against China. As far as I'm concern if China do well and give it it's all, that's good enough.
To me it was never about medal counts whatever the colour. It only became that because the western MSM have made it so. So if that's the case. China should add the one gold won by Hong Kong and two won by Chinese Taipei. Give it a total of 41 gold. US can add 1 for puerto Rico making then 40.
There you go, China wins. That's what trump would have done. But as I said, we are bigger than that, and its not a dick measuring contest. I'm just pleased that we have performed so well, and all athletes have given their hearts out.
Here here. Dont forget China achieved the best result outside of Beijing games, and this dispite the loaded dice the western nations have pre loaded with quotas, and games no one else plays like baseball, soft ball, equestrian etc.
