Just read an article that tries its hardest to explain why USA are not yet on top, and why it's China who leads with 'whooping medal tally'. The word 'whooping' to describe 13 sounds really funny for anyone used to typical Asian Games medal counts where China's number went into the absurd (Hangzhou 2023 tally was nothing short of hillarious). It's nice to see them struggling to reach 15 for a change!
As an American, all you need to do is watch the women's tennis final or diving, many swimming events and it's clear that China has quality programs in many, many, too many different sports!! If you caught the second set of female tennis gold medal match, there was nothing but physical and mental domination!! And for the record baseball, basketball are cultural assumptions for Americans, and those expectations are misplaced while many countries take practicing fundamentals to another level, previously unimaginable. You can feel national pride, sure that's cool but if you love a certain sport and see it carried out w almost perfection.. Give credit where credit is due.
I often see Remco as a moody, spoiled punk, all can be true. But he has the physical and mental talent to back it up. If you take anything from Paris for me it's training and dedication to fundamentals.. People are absolutely fantastic, prepared!!
