Bolt is in a couple of events and of course he'd still dominate them. Overall, our best athletes are in the NFL and don't compete or care about the Olympics for the most part.

They have plenty keeping them from competing however, it's called contractual obligations and the fact that they just want to get paid and DGAF about competing against amateurs. Hell, look at handball in the Olympics. If we took a bunch of 3rd stringer NFL and NBA players and taught them the rules and let them play together, they'd easily dominate that sport without a doubt. But what would be their motivation to even do that? Nobody cares about f'kin handball here. lol

I assumed handball was an American sport, who does play it then? I'd never even heard of it until recently

It's stated in like every page that US is in 1st world AND has large population. Are you retarded or just have that unreasonable American superiority complex?

Europe mainly. although we learnt it as part of PE in high school

Australia leading the Dream Teat 49-43 in the 2ndQ. Least its close so far. Guess having all NBA players as our starting 5 is helping. Patty Mills is on fire

srsly, genetic variation helps. all you have to do is look at the winter olympics. USA hasn't finished 1st since the nazis were around.

Biggest cope award goes to this guy

How the fk is it coping to have assumed a sport was American until told otherwise?

I mentioned earler that per capita applies for both good and bad things. Not sure how Americans normally understand this, but as soon as it applies to something that's not crime they lose all logic.

No one is saying your Olympic athletes aren't good, obviously they are, they are getting lots of medals. We are just saying its to be expected in a population so large (therefore answering ops question).
