Neeraj Chopra just won gold medal for indiawith 88.06 meter javelin throw.. Just half a meter behind the asian record.. A 6 meter lead from the second place chinese guy and he is only 20 years old@911 @AyanRay..
Congratulations to Pakistan for third bronze @Indus Pakistan @django with 80.4 meter..could have done better being from superior race but never mind, he defeated chinese, Japanese and many other top athletes..

Yep they have some African descendants in Baluchistan and Karachi.

Bought in by Portuguese and Omani slave traders.
NB Anyone who indulges in slave trade is a vermin PERIOD.

Chinese Taipei is pretty good..

 

[Sharky]

Surprised by both Indonesia and Iran. Nice going guys.

I was just thinking, if Korea were one nation, then adding up S Korea, N Korea & Unified Korea, medals would be:

49 Gold, 47 Silver, 53 Bronze, Total: 147. Making Korea second ahead of Japan, not too shabby

It won't be like that, one nation means less athletes you can send to play, that will greatly reduce the chance for you to win. If every Chinese province and city can send a delegation like Taiwan and Hong Kong, China, if added up, can win several times more of gold than China get as one nation, most Chinese provinces can beat Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Yeah, there's truth to that, I was just having fun w/ the numbers . The bottleneck tho isn't so much # of slots available, as it is # of events; there's only one gold for each, no matter how many athletes you throw at it (particularly in China's case).

If Korea were unified the talent pool would be increased (by 40%), so at Nationals the best athletes, from either the north or south of the peninsula, would have been chosen, cuz now it's one country. So an event where N Korea won a gold where S Korea didn't even medal, well now Korea has the gold cuz that athlete is representing the whole thing. And the Korean from the south who wouldn't even have medaled, they may not even have made the trip.

Who knows what the exact # would be, but I think its safe to assume it'd be higher than just S Korea's current tally

In many events the competition is very close and the athletes are equally good, more athletes mean more chance, or luck if you will.

It'll be higher but not as high as two added up, see what happened after East and West Germany reunited.

This is true, yes. In the case I presented above, about the talent discrepancy, maybe less so. Really gifted northern athlete, w/ no equivalent in the south, etc

Haha, no I'm not claiming twice as high, just more

我们曾经是王者。。。现在仍然是。

I once talked to a guy here who insisted that those Chinese athletes failing to win will be shot dead when they get back home. Western propaganda machine is so powerful and can make some people lose their sanity.
