Tokyo Olympic 2021: Discussion and Update

[rott]

A little less than 3 million? You're saying that is a huge pool to chose from? Hardly.

The other factor you are conveniently ignoring is the economic stability of said nations. A nation with a huge population that is succeeding so well economically and is on top of the world like China and the US and quite a few others on a smaller scale (Japan and Russia even) have that ability to devote many resources to attract athletes. The population is the primary reason, but the success of the nations economic outlook is key to the development of these athletes and it shows in many of these results. It's an easy test to get an A+ in.

Really man? It has everything to do with RACE. Why don't you pass a bill in the next Olympics restricting black athletes and let's see how many medals the US gets.

It's not all about population size, it's about people of different races are talented in different sports, how many blacks all together in the world? why we rarely see non black top athletes in track? What's the population of Jamaica ?

In Jamaica, every single child has to do track and field as their gym class. Obviously, if literally everyone is training in these events their whole life, the best will be chosen, when they reach high schools age, to go to top high schools with the facilities as student athletes. From their the official training begins. I work with a Jamaican who recently came to the US, and this is how they do it according to her.

We have more runners being trained in China than the whole population of Jamacia, but still can't produce sprinting talents that the small island country churn out every couples of years. You've got to admit that people of different races are talented in different sports, it's common sense and with scientific proof.

There are physical differences that make some athletes better then others, such as Michael Phelps arms span greater then his body height, but a lot has to do with training. If one thing China has shown, it can find the talent amongst its people to be competitive. East Africans; such as the Kenyans have excelled in marathons. They are genetically gifted but also have lived a life that has conditioned their bodies to use oxygen efficiently and their muscles have developed under those conditions. The US Olympic training facility is in Colorado, a higher altitude location then most other cities in the US. So to just say it’s genetics would be a narrow way to look at it. Taking the genetically gifted and training them their whole life will maximize their potential, at that point it becomes all about will and mental endurance. The US Olympic gymnastics champion from 2016 had a poor showing in the 2021 Tokyo games. She is well trained (as well as an African-American) but her mental state was not in as good a condition and she decided to not compete in as many events, to give her teammates a better chance to win.

It’s not all about genetics.

For a military comparison, look at the candidates that make it through BUDS to become US Navy Seals. It’s not always the people you would think would make it through do.

China needs mRNA booster to boost athlete performance.

it's all about genetics in track and field. lol. nearly all the champions there are blacks after the whites allowed them to compete. this is fact.

Quite possibly. Or maybe it could use the services of a very famous kryptonian.

Ah come on, Beijingwalker my friend. Let me ask you this - what is the population of China vs the population of the US? 8 times as many? I just guessed that number without looking it up and you know what that means? China has 8 times the amount of pool of people to chose from, so please spare us with the excuses sir. China should not only dominate the Gold, but all the medals and it's done neither, sadly.

Does China get to send 8x the athletes? No, US sent the most athletes by far. Even Australia sent more athletes than China did.

Does China rig the Olympics so that the sports China are good at have 30+ medals?

China spends very little on military and Olympics. Most of China's funds are used on education and infrastructure and science and technology that benefit the people instead of pissing it on a dick measuring contest.

 

[beijingwalker]

Chinese lost some golds because of the judges and referees too, espacially in gymnastics, in weightlifting each country can only send 4 men and 4 women to compete, China got 7 out of 8 golds in weightlifting but because of this ridiculous rule, in the rest of weightlifting events, China can't sent athletes to compete, making people wonder if this rule was specially designed against China.
As for US, US 4x400 relay team was disqualified first and was reinstated after they complained while China's race walker was disqualified in the last moment.

Japan playing dirty politics against China.

So why doesn't China send more Athletes? It seems every other competition has 1 or 2 or more Chinese athletes competing!

Is it against the rules to send as many athletes as the games allow you? You realize there is a brutal qualification process, right? Or wait a minute, you're saying that the US and Australia have rigged the Olympics to send as many athletes as possible? Gimme a break and stop with the excuses and accept the realities of the games.

China has had numerous athletes performing in many events and have done very well. No one is taking their accomplishment away from them (as a matter of fact that 14 yrs. old girl Chinese sensation that scored 3 perfect 10 dives in a row set an unbeatable record I was blown away!) So please stop all the phony excuses if it wasn't for the blacks who weren't American then it's the US rigging the system and if it ain't that it's a dolphin engineered by a bunch if mad scientists as Michael Phelps it will never end.

Bottom line, the country that wins the MOST OVERALL MEDALS IS THE CHAMPION OF THE OLYMPICS PERIOD. Twist it and bring out all the excuses you want, it won't matter and the country with the most Gold will certainly get it's deserving award as well, but it ain't as impressive as the overall medal count. And please stop fabricating lies about the US rigging anything pertaining to the rules of the Olympics that is the most ridiculous thing I've heard to date!

@KAL-EL , what's next on this list of excuses, Aliens taken out of Area 52 and engineered as human athletes?

But why in sports of China's strength, like weightlifting, numbers of athletes sent by each countries are limited to maximum 4 while in sports of US strength, like swimming, no such limits are imposed?
