So what where your thoughts on the Rugby 7's.

I edited my post as it sounded a bisserl unehrlich. :-p

Agreed reg. AUT, but there were times you had world class summer athletes. Stefanie Graf or Thomas Muster come to mind. SUI on the other hand already won three medals in Rio - rowing, cycling, shooting - and have some good athletes in other sports as well, e.g. beach volleyball. Maybe AUT is a bit too focused on winter sports these days (where they always win plenty of medals anyway).

I'm sad... I wanted Shelly-ann to be the first woman to win 3 golds in the 100m... in a row. Oh well Atleast another Jamaican won.

Mo Farah won the 10k again even after falling. That's really impressive :O

Touché. See, that's why I always often like you.

The women's heptathlon was great to watch, probably my favorite Olympic event so far. It's definetely one of the hardest events, but Thiam for Belgium just won after trying so hard, and although Ennis did really well and is one of my favorite athletes, she just missed gold. Also nice to see Canada get Bronze in the event.

It was just great to see the sportmanship between all the athletes, and even those that didn't win anything were so happy. 

Been a bit behind, but Medal table updated. A massive jump for GB, but cycling and rowing finals would do that. We will drop down once those are done.

There's no doubt you are genetically superior when it comes to covering a wide range of sports.  America is so diverse and basically composes of people from every part of the planet.  it's very hard for a country with just 1 type of genetics to choose from,  especially if their population is also way under 450m. Add to that,  they probably can't afford the investment the Americans can.  

I have no problem with American dominance in the Olympics but there are of course a number of reasons for it. 

I would agree that being so genetically diverse gives the USA a solid advantage, and a large population is nothing to sneeze at either.

However, our population is 319 million not 450 million. I'm still confused as to where people are getting the 450 million from. Also, the American government doesn't invest anything in the athletes. They must secure sponsership from companies, join professional leagues, or pay their own way.

I want to be mad at you, but damnit, that line made me laugh.
