The Official 2024 Paris Summer Olympics Thread (from July 26 - August 11) - Closing Ceremony replay at 7pm EST

Americans in general have to stop being so damn giving to foreigners.

Rescind birthright citizenship.

 

[concise]

College Athletic Directors would have Martians competing for them if they were allowed to get away with it. All they care about is winning.

Add the fact that foreign students are not eligible for financial assistance AND pay the higher international tuition, it's a win for the pockets as well.

Dennis Mitchell was an amazing starter. Either he isn't working on it because of her top end speed or it's mental.

It’s mental because she overcame he issues in the 23 Worlds.

Eh...it's was a good run for South Sudan. But playing USA twice screwed them. I'm curious as what they'll be like next Olympics.

 

[Mister Terrific]

US still at 71% chance to win the most golds at these olympics

I mean dennis mitchell just coached the silver and bronze medallist in the 100m seems like a good coach to me. He also coaches Kenny Bednarek, Justin Gatlin, Kaylin Whitney, Javianne Oliver and Twanisha Terry

Dennis Mitchell was an amazing starter. Either he isn't working on it because of her top end speed or it's mental.

Her start has been a well known weakness and it doesn't look like it's gotten any better. I'm sure he's an amazing coach but there's a disconnect there and a new perspective might be needed.

thats a good shot by jones should count

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.

I said nothing about tethers what are you talking about I literally have family in Guyana and Jamaica it’s not even about Caribbeans I said the same about the swimmers too. Also it does hurt American athletes as there is only so many resources to go around even in a country as rich as America and I agree it should be a rule the Europeans have rules to limit foreigners why can’t we

5 wins in a row, they've made a great turnaround.

Imagine how she sounds after every thrust

 

[Copy Ninja]

Trains and lives in America... Sounds like an American to me

We claiming her and Marchand

 

[Controversy]

Needa go back to their countries u say?

Each country has an Olympic committee that should provide the infrastructure to train their athletes. You shouldn't be able to use US infrastructure to train for the Olympics or even Worlds

 

[Bigwhite2498]

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

Also her child will be American too if god grants my wishes
