Spin: Why Is The USA So Dominant In The Olympics?

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Stronger and larger genetic pool of diversity.

There are over 300 million people from all backgrounds.

only in the US are you going to find a Katie Ledecky and Michael Phelps with a Lebron James and Stephan Curry coming from the same country

This. Huge genetic variety coupled with the resources to train them.

Nigeria could be great to, but its woeful facilities and lack of athlete training creates below average olympians.

Our mix of climates and cultures means we have people who participate in all sports.

America sends the most athletes. Richest nation on earth. Only developed nation on earth with over 100 million people, and population is 350 million. Links sports with financial reward, so greatest incentive on earth to succeed along with large social underclass.

And finally the real answer, the best pharmaceutical doping program in the world. Americans are the number steroid users as professional and civilians in the world. There are more TRT clinics and anti-aging clinics which offer pharmaceutical grade steroids/HGH and peptides in Florida alone than the whole Africa and Middle East combined.

America and Soviets were neck and neck with each other at the Olympics until the Soviets fell. Without pharmaceuticals, Americans aren’t that great truth be told.

Black athletes first and foremost, then the money, training, facilities, etc.

 

[keond]

Infrastructure facilities and money. It's a lot of athletes that can train year round with sponsorships and grants if they only have a "chance" of qualifying.

Money and population size. Not that complicated

Title IX.

A lot of countries don't put money into women sports. Since that shyt is mandated by law here in the States our women are in prime position to beast.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Once those West African countries start to properly fund their athletic programs then shyt is going to be lit. I keep noticing that the sprinters from Ivory Coast and Ghana are getting closer and closer to the USA and Jamaica.

If Nigeria and Ghana can get those funds up for basketball and futbol

That's what happens when your GDP is poppin. China, UK, and Russia, the 3 other superpowers, are right below us. It's simple economics: a great economic climate and good infrastructure from top to bottom leads to more time and attention paid to leisure activities and consumer pleasure. Parents got the dough and desire to maintain a robust diet for their kids, send them through athletic programs and take them to play in parks, afford TVs and let their kids watch when sports ads and programs run almost every block of programming, and cultivate that culture through high school and university and competitive government-funded programs. Plus black athletes >>>>
