I dont think China was the ONLY communist country there has been an olympics in.


Oh yeah, watching gymnatics ftw

 

I can see why you would ask that (has Canada even won a medal?)lol. Just kidding. Seriously though, I think people in general don't have any clue to what the olympics means to society. Come on people, it's a tournament against the world! I think it's great that we can put our political differences aside and just have an nice competitive contest. Not to mention it's fun kicking everyone's ***........

 

bastard! hahaha, for real.. our country doesnt even provide proper funding for our athletes, so we cant expect them to be competitive on a world stage.. Hell, our Prime Minister Stephen Harper did not even show up to the opening ceremonies! WTF IS UP WITH THAT!

 

People always forget how small a country Canada is as well. It's a wealthy country, but just doesn't have the depth of talent. We're about 1/10th the size of the US in population. I don't think it's a funding problem really.

 

Talent is everywhere, I just think the government is too cheap to put more money into our athletes

 

Really? How is a country of 30 million people supposed to produce more absolute medals than a country with over 300 million people? On a per capita basis Canada produced more medals in the Athens games than the US did. Because we are a wealthy country we are able to send many athletes, but champions are very rare, and if you have a bigger pool to pick from, you will have a big advantage.

 

ah, true enough....

 

not to mention we have more black people......

 

he had more important things to do ...

 

How does that explain the fact that Australia, and many European countries assrape us on a regular basis? Most of them don't have the massive population advantage the US does.
