USA Medals: 63
Canada Medals: 10

USA Population: 311,591,917
Canada Population: 34,482,779

The USA has a population over 9 times the size of Canada.

9X10 Canadian Medals = 90 medals.

Good game. Cute economy too.

Derek Drouin, high jumping for Canada, could potentially medal in the high jump final today. Hell, he could win it if he's at his best, but in the qualifying round, he wasn't at his best.

We'll see, mayne

What the hell is the point of competition if not to win? We produce the most winners because we work the hardest and allow everyone the chance to be what they want to be.  Its not a fluke that America is the sole superpower. We play to win. If you don't work hard to be the best and destroy your competition, you are not going to win.

This is loosely related but applying what you just said about sports to education, it's also no fluke that the U.S is full of fucktards while other countries keep growing more and more intelligent people. It's also not a fluke that one of the only things keeping the U.S as a world power is military strength while China just keeps growing politically and economically.

I think the priorities are a bit backward.

China also steals our technology, oppresses their people, inflates their currency, and has a huge facking population to pull from. I know from experience that Chinese products are mainly stolen technology and poorly built. They are advancing rapidly, but they are still no where near us. But, they will keep improving and we had better get our **** together over here if we want to stay ahead.

Our political system is totally **** anymore, imo. Also, I believe one of the main reasons we are not doing well in education is due to all this liberal, politically correct BS that has permeated our country lately. Kids are growing up to be taught that everyone is a winner, only to find out when they hit the real world that you don't get **** without putting in the effort. I strongly believe that we should be trying to teach our kids that they aren't going to get **** unless they work for it. I don't believe in giving people money who don't deserve it (food stamps and all) because they didn't put in the effort to succeed. I don't want to work hard while some **** sits on his ass collecting government assistance off my tax money. That's socialism.

If you don't work hard to be the best and destroy your competition, you are not going to win.

It's not just about winning. It's about good sportsmanship. It's about working hard and trying. This is what the Olympics represent. This is the official Olympic creed:

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

It's fine being patriotic and proud of one's country but to only value winning is wrong. That's just my opinion. I'm not really sure how you can say you work the hardest. Obviously every athlete works hard. Otherwise they wouldn't be in the Olympics.

I didn't mean to come off like that, honestly I was just talking **** for the most part. But, I do believe that American (not all of them of course) work hard as **** to be the best they can. We have to because that's what our society is (or at least was) based on. You can achieve anything you want here, if you are willing to overcome the challenges life gives you. I think we usually dominate in the Olympics because strive to be the best at everything we can. Sure, we have a large population as DDD has pointed out several time, but we are not the biggest by any means. Why doesn't India or any other huge country overcome us? I believe it's due to the fact that in America everyone has a chance to succeed, which is not the case in most other countries. Why does Britain do so well? They are tiny. But, they allow their citizens to become what they want and they have the will and desire to win.

Athletes can work hard because they are given the opportunity to by the olympic programs in your country. Do you seriously think that someone from Uganda is given the same training and funding as Michael Phelps is? The US chooses to spend their money differently than other countries. It doesn't mean the US works harder than everyone else.

The us doesn't choose to spend more money on sports. The people that live here have the opportunity to decide for themselves to spend money on sports. We have money and opportunity because we have historically worked harder than other countries to win at everything we can. Canada could do more, but you guys are pu****s and don't want to put in the work or step on anyone's toes to get ahead. We want to win no matter the cost, so we do. You think the people in Uganda are in the position they are in because of bad luck? They can't rise up as a nation and do what they need to because the people don't take the steps to progress. They don't dispose of the corrupt leaders, educate themselves, or stand together as a nation to achieve a common goal. There are African countries that prosper.

Well China has what? 6x the people as the US and practically hand-pick people to play who show talent at an early age. They are definitely the country that tries the hardest and has the larger population but they still lost regardless.  Not everyone in the US has the same opportunity to be great considering everything cost money. Gabby Douglas's mom was seriously about to pull her out of gymnastics because she couldn't afford it. Imagine if that had happened. There could be a child prodigy gymnast somewhere whose parents can not afford to pay for their training or whose parents are scumbags who won't let the kid live their dream. Australia has ~19 million people, brought over 500 athletes to the Olympics and won more medals than Canada.

Basically, what I'm saying is population can give you an advantage but it's not everything and not the only reason why US has so many great athletes. You still need, you know, the athletes and some type of support for them which many don't get, especially in sports that aren't "the main 3" US sports (basketball, football, baseball). US is only the land of opportunity if you have the money and support for said opportunity. And last time I checked Canada is not a third-world country so don't act like Canadians don't have opportunities in athletics...


Another point, Canada is so great in the Winter Olympics because not many countries live in cold climates where they can train for things like that, therefore, Winter sports are not nearly as popular as Summer sports.

You're pretty much negating two-thirds of the world in the Winter Olympics.

I don't expect you guys to read all of these links, but there is some good info in there:

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2004/may/01/gold-behind-the-gold-the-sport-of-olympic/

The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and related organizations spent more than $400 million in 2000 alone — more than $1 million a day.

http://www.investinganswers.com/investment-ideas/commodities-precious-metals/you-wont-believe-what-america-spends-win-olympic-gold-t

The U.S. Olympic Committee shelled out more than $232 million in 2008 to help American athletes win 110 medals in Beijing -- the site of the previous Summer Olympic Games. That's $2.1 million per medal, but doesn't include the cash kicked in by each sport's governing body from sponsors, donors and special events. For example, USA Basketball took a little less than $1 million from the USOC to send the men's and women's teams to China four years ago, but spent $5.8 million overall on gold-medal efforts from LeBron James, Diana Taurasi and company.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/datablog/2012/aug/13/olympics-2012-cost-per-medal-team-gb-funding

Total UK Sport funding for the London 2012 Olympics was £264,143,753, up from £235,103,000 spent on the Beijing Games.

http://sports.nationalpost.com/2012/07/31/canada-finishes-fifth-in-olympic-gymnastics-but-experience-is-what-matters/

Canada, she said, funded its Olympic preparations — as well as its junior program — on a shoestring budget of about $285,000. Fletcher estimated the Americans worked with a budget of more than $2 million.

OTP spent an average of $30-million over the past three years.


Bottom line is that Canada spent about $90 Million in training athletes over the past 3 years getting ready for 2012 and if you compare to the UK $200+ Million pounds and the US (I couldn't get a total for the 4 years leading up to 2012) in 2000 alone spent $400 Million (that's just one year) and $232 Million in 2008 alone. Of course because the US has more people and is a wealthier country I would guess they also get more sponsorship money too. So, if you add all of that together, it gives US athletes wayyyyyyyyyyyy more money to train, which translates into better results.

Larger population and more money obviously equals a lot more medals. Keep in mind, there are only the top 3 spots in each event that get a medal....

So, any male cattle dung about just trying harder and being better is simply male cattle dung.

why do you guys put so much focus on funding? money doesn't produce talent. do you really think that Canada would win more medals than us, or anyone else for that matter, if you had thrown the most money at training for the last four years? give me a **** break.

I'm not saying Americans are better athletes because Americans are just better. I'm saying that our country's attempted goal of providing an environment where anyone can succeed, our culture of competitiveness, our general want to be the absolute best at everything we do, and our national pride provides the best environment to produce winners.

and btw DDD, resorting to fat jokes is a pretty damn weak. lol


I know my country is pretty **** up right now is some ways, but I'm still proud to call myself an American and we are still the world leader whether you like it or not. I detest a lot of stuff that is happening here lately, but I wouldn't want to live somewhere else because of it... except maybe on a tropical island or some ****, lol.

btw, I've been eating a lot of xanax lately so I realize my points are all over the place and i'm rambling a bit. I just enjoy arguing with DDD.  >:D

why are the Canadans the only ones in here acting like sore losers?

Check the thread title, then get back at me if you still don't understand why we responded to this thread.

why do you guys put so much focus on funding? money doesn't produce talent. do you really think that Canada would win more medals than us, or anyone else for that matter, if you had thrown the most money at training for the last four years? give me a ****ing break.

I stopped reading after this.

It's more complicated than just funding, but what I proved is that funding is crucial. Prove that it's not related to funding. Every article you read about winning medals at the Olympics is focused on money and how much it cost to win a gold medal.

Another major factor, as we mentioned, is population. If you have a smaller pool of people to choose from then there are fewer top athletes.

Your argument of we are just better has no merit. Find some facts about US athletes just being genetically better.

I don't think Americans are just better. I just think our country provides the best environment to encourage and produce the best athletes. If it was just about money and population, then China should have tripled our medal count.

Let's flip the question. Why does the US put so much focus on funding if it doesn't really matter?

I'm not saying Americans are better athletes because Americans are just better. I'm saying that our country's attempted goal of providing an environment where anyone can succeed, our culture of competitiveness, our general want to be the absolute best at everything we do, and our national pride provides the best environment to produce winners.

So your athletes are given a better opportunity than in other countries. I pointed that out a while ago. Try and keep up Lukkas.


and btw DDD, resorting to fat jokes is a pretty damn weak. lol

It's not a joke, it's just an observation. Americans are fat.

I don't think Americans are just better. I just think our country provides the best environment to encourage and produce the best athletes. If it was just about money and population, then China should have tripled our medal count.

Except China is set up totally different than the United States. The number of people that get a chance to be an athlete in China is probably around the same as the United States.
