USA loses shooting (sniping) competition at the olympics, how sway

[Samori Toure]

We don't produce snipers. Now when they have the spray random events we taking all of the medals.

We do. We just have a very lucrative pipeline for PMCs to make more than you ever would as an Olympic shooter

I have airguns break barrel and pcp.

And I have real guns.

I love shooting my 22lr and I remember it every time I shoot it. But I typically go with the air rifle.

The only thing gun owning CACS are masters at is racism and fantasizing about shooting unarmed black people

 

[Cuban Pete]

Yeah this calls for the flag being flown at half mast or something, absolutely apalling

 

[Nymbus]

why they dressed like Pokemon bosses

 

[Ahmen]

Perhaps they should recruit from Chicago?

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

None of our real shooters can piss clean

Or they triple felons

UK.

with 1/5th pop of the USA.

You just proved my point.

US is top 2 minimum in track, gymnastics and swimming. Britain winning medals in each does NOT mean they're considered among the best in each discipline. They simply have enough money to be in the mix but lack the population to be top shelf across the board.

My point still stands. US is the most versatile sporting nation - mostly off a diverse population, lots of $$$$ and 330M+ people.

China runs up their medal counts in non-athletic shyt like ping pong, archery, guns etc....and sports with judges like synchronized swimming.

You won't see them doing anything in hoops, track & field, boxing etc. Might be OK in judo/TKD or weightlifting in the smaller classes.

Plus they have 5x our population and train kids from elementary school on up. It's always America vs China for total medals but the United States tends to be competitive in a MUCH broader range of sports compared to any other nation.

United States is the only country that can go win a ton of medals in track, swimming and gymnastics. Most countries are lucky to be good in 1 out of 3. We are either #1 or #2 in each.

Saw something recently about how part of the reason China generally doesn't do well in team sports due to the culture's emphasis on individual achievements.

USA spray and pray champions

you undermine chine's case because of the size of their population relative to that of the USA.

a per-capita based view, if you will.

then where that per-capita argument works against the USA you throw it in the bin.

you also said that the USA is the ONLY nation with lots of medals in a broad range.

when shown that the USA is not the "only" one you ignore that point as if you were not the one who made the argument in the first place.

in short, a little consistency would help.

Brehs what these dudes got in store for breakdancing?

 

[GreenGhxst]

Or just recruit a real sniper and not weekend warriors

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Chinese winning that shyt is wild... I'll leave it at that

Before the 1980s, there was a lot of guns in the Chinese countryside and young people were encouraged to become marksmen.
