As an American currently in Canada, I've had to ignore all of the Olympic news because from the other side of the coin it's just depressing.

[–]Excentinel 13 points14 points ago

As much as I wanna cheer you up, did Canada take gold in anything?

[–]Moiraine 29 points30 points ago

Yes. In trampoline.

[–]Excentinel 7 points8 points ago

Holy shizznit, you guys did! Way to steal gold from the Vancouver residents!

[–]Saronix 3 points4 points ago

You have to remember that Canada has less than 1/10th the population of the US. Take that into consideration and we're doing pretty good.

[–]hot_mahogany 5 points6 points ago

And we got #1 in the 2010 winter Olympics

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]JigsawKiller92 6 points7 points ago

I think that the point Saronix was trying to make (perhaps not, but please consider it anyway) is that you have 10x the population pool to choose from, so you're more likely to find an 'exceptional' athlete (i.e. one that can be successful at the olympics). China has a pool of 2 billion to choose from, and is proving very successful.

Just a thought.

[–]Saronix 0 points1 point ago

What you say is true, I'm merely stating that I think Canada is doing well given A) Our Size B) The fact we excel in Winter Olympics NOT Summer C) We've already exceeded the expectations of our Olympic Committee.

Not only that, check how many 4th place finishes we've had this year. We could have been on the podium A LOT more, and despite not being on the podium those are still high finishes and an overall improvement from past Summer Olympic events.

[–]_zoso_ -1 points0 points ago

Yeah but Australia has 2/3 the population of Canada and we're whoopin your ass. This is good because Australia is failing at the olympics this year.

[–]drukus 3 points4 points ago

You mean Australia, a country where it is summer weather nearly all year round, is ahead of Canada, a country that has significantly less summer weather, in the Summer Olympics?

[–]alimay 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for the rationality. Let's talk in 2014 zoso.

[–]_zoso_ 0 points1 point ago

Yes I do mean Australia, the country that spends something like $32 million for each gold medal, is beating Canada. I'm not proud personally, I actually dislike Australian sport culture and the ridiculous waste of money on these things. But still I like telling people my country is beating theirs, especially fellow commonwealth nations :)

[–]drukus 0 points1 point ago

Fair enough, you get the summer we get the winter.

[–]Saronix 0 points1 point ago

Canada doesn't excel in the summer Olympics though, we've already exceeded what the Olympic committee expected of us. We're more of a winter Olympics country. Given our size and that fact I'd say we've done well.

[–]Red_Rifle_1988 1 point2 points ago

Well we tend to really only invest heavily, and have real expectations for the winter Olympics. I think the reason for this is pretty clear. We did win the most gold in the last winter games, so I think we're ok with the ass kicking in the summer games.

[–]Pefur 9 points10 points ago

The hosting country usually wins 50% more medals than it would if they participated in another country.

[–]teeks 15 points16 points ago

The UK were 4th in Beijing, with 19 golds and 47 in total (vs 25 gold and 52 total for London) - so that math isn't too bad.

[–]slotbadger 0 points1 point ago

Still two days left, too. So we should be getting 3, 4 more golds then?

Although Beijing was a pretty good effort, to be fair. Normally do much worse than 19.

[–]yoda133113 3 points4 points ago

Well they are competing in more events than any other country, including even the US. And while many of those athletes don't stand a chance, they still get in.

[–]ET_Phone_Home 0 points1 point ago

Such a small country(s)... 59.1 million People currently living in Great Britain? Correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: My brain went into retard mode, again

[–]Testicular_Homocide 4 points5 points ago

Er, so, UK has more people than the entire planet combined? Orite. Think its more like 59million, probably higher these days. Certainly not into the billions though. We aren't China.

[–]PatAunces 19 points20 points ago

If you think all Americans like America, this must be your first day on reddit. The topic doesn't even have to relevant for someone to start circlejerking about how terrible America is, and how it would be better if it was Sweden instead.

Meh. The worlds a terrible place, and every country deserves its criticism. The US just happens to be the one in control.

[–]PatAunces 9 points10 points ago

Yes, I'm well aware of America's faults. But consistently pointing them out so that internet strangers will upvote you and accept you is just annoying, and it's one of the most popular and prevalent circlejerks on reddit. We get it, America does bad things and the people are bad. Talk about something else.

[–]yourfaceyourass -2 points-1 points ago

I dunno, I am not sure if I agree. Most of the discussions I seen were actually discussions, not circle jerking.

[–]PatAunces 7 points8 points ago

Most of what I see is one of the following

MURICA (Use this one anytime it could be even 1% relevant for upvotes)

LOL fat people must be americans cuz you know, americans are fat

Look at some people being assholes. MURICA

Americans are such gun nuts. What barbarians.

LOL Republicans. Only Americans would be stupid enough to have a conservative party.

Let me ask something that no one has ever asked before: Why doesn't America have universal healthcare? It's like America is in the dark ages

Why is America not Sweden?

Why aren't all Christians executed in America? Enjoy your religious dictatorship.

I'm not even Christian, Republican, etc., it's just annoying to see redditors beat the dead horse day-in and day-out about how America is literally Hitler and Europe is the utopia of the free, civilized people of the world.

[–]ImUsingDaForce 0 points1 point ago

trough out the history there has always been some tyrannic nation that controlled the world for a long period of time. rome(1000years), church(1000years), spain(200years), france(100years), england(100years), and now USA. BUT. IMF estimated china surpasses USA in global market holding, GDP, and overall economic influence by 2016(or latest till 2020). have fun this four years :D

[–]slotbadger 0 points1 point ago

You're neglecting Portugal and the Netherlands, and Britain were arguably the dominant world power from ~1700 until World War I, with the French challenging during the Napoleonic Wars.

Some Interesting morning maths for you! USA leads in medal count for the olympics.

Population of US: 311500000 Medals In olympics:90 Medals Per Capita: 2.88x10-7

Population of Ireland: 4500000 Medals In olympics:2 Medals Per Capita: 4.44x10-7

We win!

[–]the_annex 27 points28 points ago

I just went and googled "Medals Count", saw that we were leading in gold, and gave my monitor (China) the finger. American pride is a really weird feeling sometimes.

[–]admiralwaffles 20 points21 points ago

I believe my exact words were, "Yeah, suck it, China!"

[–]srika 6 points7 points ago

and gave my monitor (China) the finger.

That is probably the best you could do really. Your monitor probably was made in China.

Edit: Hey folks - this was not indented as sarcasm against America or China. And neither do I think Americans seriously hate China for getting so many medals.

Then we lost the N word to the internet where white people can say without fear of a ass beating good job white people.

[–]Blubbey 4 points5 points ago

Well... isn't this the way it SHOULD be? I mean, the US has a much higher population, area and GDP (although not per capita) than pretty much every other country (area compared to china is similar, gdp is about double but pop is about 1/5, compared to Russia it's about double pop, 8x GDP and half area).

I don't think the US is doing even close to good enough given what it is doing and what it COULD be doing. I mean, compared to the UK it has 5x the population, 7x the GDP and 40x the land and it has less than double the medals. Either the UK is punching above its weight (which, given it's a home olympics too, is a distinct possibility) or the US is doing badly.

[–]Flaiware 1 point2 points ago

Another thing worth noticing is that more than half the medals are from swimming alone. Comparing that to china which has the medals way more spread out over the sports. Kind of silly.

I don't understand the anti-american circle jerk. It's almost as if they're so close minded that they don't realize this is our home. It's the where I was born. It's where I will die. It's where I've learned to walk, talk, eat, shit, Love, hurt, and every emotion I could possibly imagine. It's where my parents were born, and where they have died. It's where my friends are, and where my enemies are too. So when we're doing great in a competition that includes a lot of the world, you're damn right we'll gloat. Among all the things that are wrong with America, it's our home, and we're fucking proud of the athletes we've sent to participate.

[–]BeingSeriousHere 5 points6 points ago

Stop calling it anti american. They are people who are trying to improve their country, not destroy it. Implying they hate everything about their home is the same type of argument idiots use when they say: "If you don't want to stay in America, then move!"

[–]crackofdawn 5 points6 points ago

Hint: Posting "'MURICA!" on reddit every 30 minutes isn't trying to improve anything. And I guarantee the vast majority of american redditors that bitch about America all day long aren't doing a single damn thing to try to improve it.

[–]CleverClitoriis 0 points1 point ago

You make absolutely zero sense, holy shit. What does this have to do with my comment at all?

[–]la_guiri 0 points1 point ago

i don't understand the anti-world circle jerk. why do we get so offended when other countries criticize us? but of course we've been raised to believe that our nationality is so utterly important that any suggestion at changing it is taken as a insult. patriotism is great, but all i see here is nationalism. be proud of your country, but don't belittle others or expect them to bow down to you for being from the "greatest, freest country in the world". the reason why people are so anti-american in the first place is because of how arrogant we are.

[–]guynumberthree 2 points3 points ago

Genuine curiosity: would you care to elaborate? As a very liberal, but nonetheless somewhat patriotic, white American, I like to think that when it comes to loyalty in sports and war, where you grew up/moved takes precedence over where your family is from. That said, I suppose I could see how such things could get complicated.

[–]RedSeed 1 point2 points ago

I'm not primarily rooting for China if that's what you are asking. USA first, then Brazil, then China.

Couple days ago, I was talking to some Chinese American friends about the Olympics and they were instinctively referring to the Chinese team as "they" versus the American team as "us".

[–]guynumberthree 1 point2 points ago

That's essentially what I was referring to. I hope I didn't sound accusatory, I was just wondering why you specified "asian american". It sounds like you were making the exact point I was, and I just misinterpreted horribly. My most sincere apologies.

[–]less_than_three_tits -2 points-1 points ago

I like President Camacho, but haven't America been leading in medals from (near enough) the beginning? Just always ahead of China.

[–]Sogui 22 points23 points ago

No, we have been going back and forth in total medal count and were behind in gold medals for most of the games.

[–]less_than_three_tits -1 points0 points ago

Every time I checked the tables they always seemed to be on top, must of just been lucky

[–]juaquin 2 points3 points ago

Tables in US media are based on total medals, making them all count equally. 5 gold and 5 silver ranks higher than 8 gold and 0 silver in those tallies. Even using these stats, China and the US have been going back and forth a bit.

Pretty much the whole rest of the world (and the Olympic Committee themselves) do ranking based on Gold first, then using silver and bronze as tiebreakers. China has had more Gold than us pretty much the entire time, and thus was "winning" up until today.

I'm Scottish, you are lucky that I am coherent

If I had started with "I must" then it would of seemed natural to say "I must have", but since I started with just "must" then it seemed more natural to use "must of", as if I am talking about the situation being lucky rather than myself being lucky

Most of us write how we speak unless it's formal. Must've, must have or must of pretty much all acceptable in non-formal writing.

Reddit is not a good place to go to learn how to speak formal English.

What you have contributed to that medal count: 0.0000000000000000000001

[–]L4cer8 -1 points0 points ago

Meh, as a Canadian I know we're built for winter. Least we showed everyone what's what last year with that insane gold run.

funny to hear what different countries think of their places regarding the amount of medals won. In the Netherlands we are already very proud when we get in the top 10 (since it is a very small country)

les just all pretend you had a part in that accomplishment and that the rest of the world should suck your dick.
