Americans of the Coli, the Olympics draw near, so allow me to propose a wager...

[Malta]

Will you be posting them at the end of the games?

Welcome To Hell

As long as Black America brings home the gold in basketball I will be, I might go on sabbatical or wander the earth like Kane in Kung Fu if they don't

The only medal I really care about is basketball

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Another reason is that the US won a total of 110 medals in 2008, compared to GB's 47. A better bet would be whether we can double you up again. TS, make that bet...or are you chicken?

(Or to actually make a legitimate and fair bet, do 60+/- US medal count advantage.)

Beating everyone in a sport that only your country plays to an elite level. That's what the olympics are all about

Why would i come up with reasons why my own proposal is deficient?


Listen, this is simple stuff, it's easy, i've worked it all out, it's not my fault if you're all too thick to understand it.

Higher population = more people = more athletes = more medals.

Then it is only down to the amount of quality athletes, and this is dependant on how great a sporting nation the country is, and according to my in depth calculations Britain is pound for pound a much better olympic(and sporting) nation than the USA.


I have yet to see any real evidence as to why this is not the case, you all just keep bringing up bullshyt reasons which make little or no sense at all.


Britain

Your logic is flawed because the Bahamas, Jamaica, Iceland, Slovenia, Australia, New Zeland, Norway, Belarus, Cuba, and Armenia would be considered the countries with the greatest athletes in the world based on your arguement. They were the top ten medal winners per population. And if you are trying to argue that they are....then you are in a complete moron.

Comparison of Population Ranking Systems

 

[posterchild336]

I've been reading a lot of reckless talk around these parts about how America is the greatest sporting nation on earth, both outright and pound for pound.

That is a dumb ******** bet
Now we don't want this thread to descend in to one of those boring "if amuuuuricans plaid sawker wed be an dominational forse" so let's keep this strictly Olympics.

The terms of this wager are that Team GB() will win more medals(be it gold, silver or bronze) in relation to our population size than Team USA() will in relation to theirs. Therefore making Great Britain(), a pound for pound greater Olympic(and sporting) nation than the USA.


(Statistics taken from wikipedia)

Great Britain(& Northern Ireland) Population = 62,262,000
USA Population = 313,882,000

So in order for whoever is man enough to take this bet to win, Team USA must win 5.04(...) times more medals than Team GB.

The loser(or losers) must leave the Coli.

Who among you is man enough to back up their big talk and take this bet?

That is a dumb ********* bet! First of all I just went on the Olympic website to get the cold hard FACTS! GB has 558 athletes and USA has 539..Sources Not wikipedia:

There at is as close to pound for pound you can go..yeah can even get the additional 19 athletes so you cant cry.. Next, even if you wanted to go about it your way there are only so much events in olympics and so many medals one can earn how in the hell would America have 5x as much medals, are they putting additional events that I dont know about. I am not even a Team USA representer, but I had to come on this to post my piece because everytime I read a post from you, you are trying to run some comparative competition to prove some point or belittle everybody else on the forum that doesn't share your wack @ss views on things.

I'm pretty sure i already answered stuff like this earlier in the thread. I probably did it with a conviction and swagger rarely seen on the coli too.

Read through the thread, i'm sure you'll find your sonning manually.

Great Britain=558 Athletes/2medals/0gold
United States=539 Athletes/11medals/3golds edit:just checked, we have 3 golds

[Gilver]

Great Britain=558 Athletes/2medals/0gold
United States=539 Athletes/11medals/2golds

whats going on Britain?

We're losing by 1 medal.

We've been through this

 

[GoPro]

This dude been trolling for years

 

[Premeditated]

We're losing by 1 medal.

We've been through this

you're losing by 9 medals overall

you're loosing by 2 gold medals period. We have more gold medals than you do overall medals.

You realize even smaller populated countries like South Korea, N Korea, Hungary and Italy have more medals than you too right? So you can't bring up that bullshyt logic you had earlier.

anyways continue n

 

[Gilver]

lol @ relying on other countries.


muuuricans stay coppin pleas

U're a lame ass brit, that uses meaningless threads on a hip hop message board to overcompensate your low self esteem stemming from your country's inferiority to the United States of America.
