Watching this France Russia handball match, this shyt is always wild

Don't give Torrez much of a chance here, hopefully he doesn't get sent to hell again by Jalolov

I went through the table and only counted Male events or events where men and women had to compete on the same level (like equestrian)

Updated standings:

Britain: 14 Gold
America: 16 Gold
China: 16 Gold
Russia 10 Gold

Edit: included mixed events like doubles and relays


There is a lot more parity in men's events

 

[aceboon]

Oh shyt Torrez just blasted Jalolov good with a left

 

[Nero Christ]

That looks like Jack Nicholson and Billy Dee Williams merged together

it's Shaq & Jack

like in the old Forum

I wonder what the money is like overseas for volleyball, judging from social media they seem to be living well

You can make a living in Europe

Caught some of that sport climbing event a couple days ago and it was pretty fire. Reminded me of playing that American Gladiator video game on Super Nintendo

Title IX

Keyshawn Davis just can't get over the jump. He has 3 silvers in the pan am games, world's and olympics

Andy Cruz is special though, no shame in losing to him.

Torrez should have swept the 1st, he landed the better shots

Most other nations do not invest in women’s sports. The US leads in that, thanks to title Ix.

Smh Torrez getting bullied now

 

[King Static X]

Considering the US population size, yes it does.

Just like it did with the Soviets when they used to win this every year. Does this mean the former Soviet Union had the best athletes in the world? Or the East Germans?

China has a much bigger population and also invests heavily in their athletes. Yet, they still come second to us.

Also, the Soviet Union/East Germans had state sponsored doping programs. That doesn't count.

He lost all those fights to the guy who beat him today.

You don’t need to change around my words. The US spends more than China on its athletes. That is total and per capita. We also sent nearly 200 more athletes. You can say the US gov doesn’t give to its athletes, but the counter is college which most countries do not have. That’s why Caribbean nations have gotten so good at track and field.

Also, the Soviet Union/East Germans had state sponsored doping programs. That doesn't count.

The US has private sponsored doping programs. It counts.
