So what's Canada's excuse for being behind Germany, France, Italy, UK, South Korea, Japan, Netherlands?

Smaller population and dont fund olympic programs like some of these other countries do....

 

[CHICAGO]

I think America being ten times bigger in population and being an economic power had alot to do with the number of athletes they are able to put into the olympics.

IF THE ATHLETES DONT
HIT THE BENCHMARKS
THEY DONT MAKE THE OLYMPICS.

ITS THAT SIMPLE, REGARDLESS
OF HOW BIG THEIR POPULATION IS
AND ONCE AGAIN THERES A CAP

NETHERLANDS HAS 17.7 M PPL

Bro Canada has a small pop and they massively under fund these sports thats why they average 20 to 25 medals each olympics,i think theres other factors but those are the 2 big ones...

Smaller population and dont fund olympic programs like some of these other countries do....

Canada has a higher population than Australia and Netherlands. Why are those two nations better at this year's Olympics?

They fund olympic sports probaby more and Australia pop wise is in the same vicinity as Canada....

Youre gonna likely produce more athletes to hit those benchmarks if you have a larger pool of athletes to work with....

 

[Electric Relaxation]

Lewis Johnson was on their necks in the post-race in interview.

He was.

THE POINT IS
THOSE ATHLETES STILL
HAD TO WORK HARD
ALL OF THEIR LIVES
AND EARN THEIR SPOTS.

THEY WEREN'T GIVEN
THOSE SPOTS BECAUSE AMERICA IS BIG

[Bigwhite2498]

Yes he was he should have been banned in 84 and 88 his team covered up the dirty tests so he could be in the games....he was dirtier than all of them meanwhile talking shyt and snitching....Ben Johnson should habve hired a hit man to leave him in a ditch,i would have...

HIm and USTA being grimey as hell in sabotaging his rivals drug tests is documented.
