Do you remember how ameicans pressured the olympic community to change the rule of Ping-Pong ball to make it harder for the Chinese team?

No. Didn't work, did it? LOL

it's over. 40 to 40 despite the rigging. Will be seen as an overwhelming defeat for some certain side.

Sooner or later, Olympic Games will be hosted in US or China only because no other country can bear the cost of such an events anymore. China will take turn to get number 1 sport with the US, depending on where it take place

Poor Koreans and Japanese, they thought they were HUWHITE, they're not even good enough to be included on that poster littered with U.S. athletes and a hip-hop icon.

If im not mistaken hosting the Olympic Games isn't that strict anymore like demanding new stadiums and all sort of new infrastructure.

This guy explains why the American swimmers have purple faces. Blood doping.

You still have to invest in many more areas. And keeping the infrastructure good enough to host the olympic also requires money.

These elite level athletes all use PEDs during off season, training, etc... How do you train several hours per day, everyday, 7 days a week without using PEDs. How do you ensure max muscle recovery, or recover from injuries while training at this level without using some kind of PEDs. Phelps said he was spending 8 hours in the pool every day leading up to the olympics.

I look at weight lifters for example. Those that are natural train 1-2 days and then take 1-2 days off. The body needs at least that much time to recover (50% of the gains come from good sleep, rest, nutrition).

Those that are on PEDs can lift everyday, 7 days a week. When your competitions are resting, you are training.

We don't know if whatever drugs America is systematically using allow them train like that. And likely never will know, even if WADA does its job and suspend them, USADA is a completely inert organization that only exists to cover up US doping. They won't have the info you're looking for.

I'm increasingly convinced that achieving victory over the US at the Olympics is less of a sporting endeavor than an endeavor in national power and international politics. China wins 5/6 weightlifting golds? Cancel weightlifting. Chinese women win 3/6 boxing golds? Cancel boxing. Oh, you spent $50 million and 10 years hiring European champion coaches to train a team that can sweep the fencing golds? That's the last time fencing will be at the Olympics. It will be replaced with Redneck Twig Fighting, the official rules to be announced by the American Redneck Twig Fighting Federation a generous 3 hours before the start of the first match. US needs more medals? Add 250m, 350m, 500m running, 3 man team relay, 5 man team, etc...

And this isn't even America's final form (Frieza reference). America can't take China's gold medals, but it can sure as hell take those of Australia/UK/France, etc... Crony phone call is all that's needed: "This is bigger than you. Nobody cares if you win 18 or 15 or 12 or 9 golds; even your own people don't care. Who are you competing against? This is East vs West; we need you to throw those events to the US so we can beat China. Don't care if you need to make your athlete choke or if you wanna just transfer him to us under US citizenship. If you don't like that, I have a list of sanctions and property seizures for you to chew on and if you're still playing boy scout, don't be too surprised when your athletes and family members turn up dead in accidents. Think about it."

The key to beating America isn't making Asian people run faster than black people. The key to beating America is becoming more powerful so China can assert more influence in the world and the IOC so that it can determine the sports to be contested and prevent US blackmail, ensuring that American doping positives are always punished to the maximum degree. If everyone on the US team who has a positive or a false medical exemption were removed, their Olympic team would look like they came from a small Eurpean country of 80K people LOL. I have a feeling that American sports is just a Wizard of Oz image.

Tbh China is drawed now already without having to play any complaint cards. If we had lobbied to boot the Arab soft power woman beater, we'd already have won. Or just cry doping on all US athletes until at least 1 gets cancelled. Or bring as many athletes as US is doing and/or merge the HK/TW/Macau teams.

China doesn't even need an even playing field to beat US, just either slightly chanted strategies, or eroding US cheating by a little bit more.

Some of these points were repeated back in 2020 as well. Honestly this Olympics feels like Tokyo Deja Vu in a lot ways. Repeating the same thing.

Firstly people keep saying China didn't send as many athletes as the USA and should have sent more. It's not that China doesn't want to send more, its that it cannot. Why didn't China send the mens basketball team or only two male boxers to Paris, are they stupid? The reason is they cannot because they didn't qualify. A lot of Olympic events, you are not guaranteed a spot, you need to qualify for it. For boxing and wrestling, they hold entire full tournaments just so a few guys can get into the Olympics.

Secondly merging the HK team with China makes things worse in terms of probability of winning overall as a group. For example in badminton, each country can send two guys to play singles. With HK as a separate entity, China now has four guys as a group. If they are merged, China only has two players and if both catch a nasty cold or break their ankle then that's it. It's basically having two accounts. That's why people say if China can have extra accounts, why can't the US also have them?
