Team USA will fell short to China in the Paralympics coming up in a few weeks.
That cool and all but this thread is about the Olympics first and foremost.

For you it may not matter, but for all those China and CCP haters out there, unfortunately it does. They can't live knowing that China has surpassed them. You are a good man Popeye, but we know here in America the narrative about China is always negative according to media and religious institutions.

Paralympics is part of the Olympics. They go hand in hand.
You do care about the final medal count
That table reflects the reality in an eerily amazing way. Industrial nations from North America, Northeast Asia and Western Europe. Russia is right in the middle (or upper middle in a more accurate manner).
Since the World War Two, 3 countries from NE Asia have risen to the advanced industrial rank while 1 country has fallen from it. And none of those 3 risen countries are genuine democracies.
If we take into account that most American athletes are affected by ADHD, Asthma, covid, POTS, etc... They would be participants in the Paralympic Games without the therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) that allows American athletes to take drugs and medications that affect physical performance...
An example of overcoming the "fastest man in the world" who with covid-19 managed to run faster than his opponents, when doctors say that the disease affects the respiratory system, or how his water sports athletes with asthma win even when their skins are purple from physical exertion...
If it turns out that American athletes are in such poor health as to compete without drugs... They would have to go to the Paralympics, but thanks to authorized drugs and doping, they compete with healthy athletes.
