The U.K. Absolutely smashed these games. The US did well but swimming is so over represented it's unbelievable . I do t know what to say but well done team GB and I wish we could emulate your talents.

You take away every single gold medal the USA won in swimming, and US still has more golds than team GB. Nice try though

The USA would still have more medals or gold medals than anyone even if you got rid of everything from swimming entirety. U.K. did great but let's not act like the US is doing this good just because of swimming

It's team GB not team England. :P
That prompts me two questions:

* What about northern ireland? Why Team GB instead of Team UK ?

* Have someone tried to split between England, Scotland, etc.? I know it's difficult, but I'm curious

(anyway, great show again from United Kingdom)
 
Popovich would've cracked a small smile at that passing.
So much better compared to the 1st quarter.

Superman0, i hear you about Durant being too unselfish on some of those, but I think the rules are a little different for an all star team. Too unselfish is good, because the ball should start to come back. (like it did on that last 3)

Are you really comparing a country of 350M the size of a continent to an island of 65M ?

Plus do you even realize how much money goes into sports in the US compared to Europe ?

Take off swimming and you would see the US lead by a very narrow margin.
 
Next he'll use the # of medals per population argument. It's like clockwork

Everyone knows the only real ranking is weighted medals by GDP.

You deserve a gold medal for this Olympic level loser talk.

USA wins more medals because they win more medals, got it. US dominance takes nothing away from any other country or competitor. Lots of great moments in these Olympics being represented from every corner of the earth.
 
Canada's goals for the Olympics:
- 19 medals (22)
- Top 12 in the overall medal count (10th)

Pretty damn good. And in Tokyo, people like Oleksiak and de Grasse can hopefully turn some of the bronze into gold.

Sorry, not sure what you mean by 'nice try though'? The U.K. Has by far and away done the best for their country population/gdp , it isn't even a debate. I wish my country could have done so well.
