Most Underachieving Country In The Olympics?

[bogey_j]

India is a clear number 1 considering how many people they have. really should be up there with China and the US.


Low-Key, I think Germany underachieves majorly. they should be the top country in Europe but underachieve when compared to smaller countries like the UK, France, Italy, even the fukking Netherlands etc

China, the US, and Russia are pro doping only reason those nations are always at the top

Everyone else is trying to get better, those three put most of their effort into beating the system

Population doesn’t anything if they don’t have the resources that other countries do to get better.

India, Nigeria and Pakistan if we're talking raw numbers. But given economic context PLUS population I'd say Argentina and Brazil. For as many people and (in the case of ARG and BRA) not absolute destitution, they don't perform that well internationally. Hell, Brazil just won its FIRST Olympic gold medal in men's soccer in 2016. That's mad.

India is the WOAT by far.

China knows they're not winning shyt in sprints, hoops etc., so they load up on table tennis, badminton, shooting etc.

India could win gold in cricket or kabbadi if those were Olympic sports, but they don't have a strong sporting culture...especially sports the rest of the world plays. They got more genetic diversity than most countries but it doesn’t translate into success. Need more $$$ and a desire to win golds. Probably too bureaucratic and corrupt...same as Nigeria.

A lot of it is just fitness. Look at Indians in America. How many (especially the women) do you see going ham in the gym? I see Chinese, white, Black etc., hooping, lifting weights, jogging, doing HIIT etc. Indians don't really value fitness beyond "looking" fit. If you're not pushing your body....you're not winning shyt.

India at the 2024 Summer Olympics - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

They have 3 medals in shooting this year. Not one athletic medal.

They just gotta add Cricket or competitive programming to the Olympics and India would sweep those medals
