China would have had more gold medals if not for USADA and french agents collaborating to sabotage Chinese athletes with over-testing, even if you exclude HK and Chinese Taipei.

The fact that some of us are upset about China "only" winning 40 gold medals is a testament to China's strength. The future is bright!

Yes I am upset.. Sorry from Indonesia here for the stupid 0.02s lead resulting in rock climbing gold which would otherwise propel China to 41 Gold medals.

I mean you're already so close to victory, you might as well seal the deal right?

That's why silver can be really painful sometimes.

Btw I'm seeing the USA isn't exactly having it easy against France right now in women's basketball. Shall we all pray one more time for a miracle?

Yeah, I just remember I still have a couple decades to go where I can watch China dominate.

Btw, both teams are playing really shitty basketball. Can France somehow defeat US?

What a shot from France No 4!!! From near half-way line. Now 23-23.

Is it possible? Could they actually pull it off?

China’s rise in swimming will be a game changer. Double effect where China’s gold directly take away gold from the US. That’s why the US is pissed. Athletics is not as guaranteed for the US because many countries have gold medal contenders. In swimming it’s only Australia that can challenge the US.

The score of the Q2 is 16-10. France is the side with 16. So yes. It is possible.

The USA have all the pressure. The score is 25-25 at half-time when they should have been dominating. They know the USA volleyball team, the defending champions, were thrashed by Italy a few hours ago. They know they have to win to tie golds with China.

France have nothing really to lose. They have the entire French nation behind them.
