The fact that the US still has a great chance of tying or surpassing China in gold medals is crazy. It goes to show how amazing American athletes are. China brought their A game to these Olympics and the USA didn't. Wow.
dapped but I don’t agree with the bolded. We did, and it’s kinda insulting to the athletes there to refer to them as not the top, especially making it to the Olympics for the USA where it’s probably pretty stacked in even the most obscure events to get an Olympic bid

I was mainly talking about the male track athletes for America especially compared to the most recent Olympics and World Championships. They significantly underperformed.

Also, I did say that the fact that US still has a chance to tie or surpass China in gold shows how amazing American athletes are. So we agree with each other :thumbsup:

Right, but what set that off was someone calling Degrasse the fastest man when he was 3rd in the 100, and first in the 200...it was the wrong label regardless of if you want to roll with olympic or world championship time

I was actually responding to the Degrasse claim as fukkery as I am aware the person with the Olympic 100m gold is given the title. Then afterwards when it was pointed out that Bromell had the fastest time this year I said that didn't mean he would be seen as the fastest man in the world as he lost the Olympics.

We need that 1 on 1 150m race between DeGrasse and Lamont Jacobs similar to Bailey v Johnson back in the day. :banderas:



winner got a million dollars

Just shows you how popular track was and could still be. Skydome was sold out 50k to see a 15 second race :ehh:

Johnson pulling up and bailey calling him a chicken :mjlol:


For example sha'carri is so "popular now" put that ish on ppv sha'carri vs elaine thompson herrah , have a undercard with like warholm vs benjamin 2.0 , that eyetalian vs degrasse
150m. Get those two gold high jumpers . Sydney vs Dailiah 2.0

like 100k purses for winners

put a price tag of 19.99 on PPV that ish would sell like pancakes :blessed:





These main track stars need better agents the money is there.
