Do the US didn’t medal in Decathelon - weren’t we dominant (or at least competing) 20 years ago?

Ashton eaton days

 

[Damnshow]

US won gold in the mixed relay swimming

and beat china at that!

 

[MikelArteta]

Yeah it's wild. She can pass Penny from last Olympics, tomorrow with #5. Shame she didn't have a good relay team. Could have been 5 already with a chance at 6 instead tomorrow.

Outside of her only really kylie masse is better than average. That other girl fell off maggie macneil

 

[LezJepzin]

Throw American distance running right in there with them.

And they got some shawties in the women's 10 K

 

[Bigwhite2498]

Y’all acting like I’m not claiming léon marchand medals too for my Texas longhorns

Also I watched the track documentary on Netflix.

The only time Shacarri beat the Jamaicans when it mattered she was in lane 9.

She was right next to the St. Lucian girl. She knew ole girl to her right was her competition and that also played into the nerves and why the start was so bad. She felt that pressure right beside her

That show on Netflix is really good.

This sht is gonna haunt shacarri.
Like I feel shacarri running down Shericka out of lane 9 still haunts Shericka.

This really ain't about Alfred.
Running a 10.87 in the finals at her level is very disappointing.
If Shericka and pryce were running, she would have been fighting to even get a medal

 

[Liu Kang]

The fukkery that is the 4x100 medley in swimming lmaooo. Seeing a dude run down a woman is a crazy sight

 

[Ukbrotha]

fukk outta here China!!!

I feel for the Chinese. They look like they would be out on punishment when they get back home.

 

[DJK]

Yea it's high key disgusting that athletes get to train in the US, make millions in the US, then rep their birth country in the Os. But people come here, make money to 'send back home' all the time

People who come to USA have to earn all of their money. No one is giving them shyt.
Plus USA has like 600 Olympians. They're doing just fine

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Yes it do wth you think she would done this if she was still on st.Lucia

Pull up any video of her talking.. don’t sound like an American too me… hold that L

 

[RedBull]

You brehs are down bad if you start claiming medals by association

It can't be that bad for the US right ?

There’s only ONE person openly rooting against Black Americans in here. That’s who started the division in this thread. A mod who was mad because his country came in last and ducked smoke all in one event.

 

[TheFryingDutchman]

Hope Dennis Rodman was not a deadbeat father

He was.

 

[Bigwhite2498]

13 golds and 60 medals with a week still left of games and people calling this a bad Olympics. Also how can you be mad at a Texas longhorn winning a Gold. That’s incredible. Let them have it.


Legitimately saying Chinas 3 more golds is better than our 24 more medals total. That’s crazy.

Fixed breh

 

[jj23]

Fr breh they in here claiming all this like they home country really the reason they winning these medals same goes for that French swimmer

Breh, just tell the universities to stop accepting foreign students. Training methods are known. The US has great coaches, but if you think foreign athletes leaving the US will make the US athletes better, you are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Behaving like a person born in another country isn't allowed to big up their country when they win is ludicrous. Funny thing is if Caribbean athletes tried to get US citizenship, based on the comments on this board, they would be rejected anyway, cause you all don't like 'tethers'.

Either way, best of luck.

 

[GoPro]

America back!
