Congratulations to The Mightiest Nations from the spectacular games of Rio 2016.
For those who didn't make the cut, better luck for Tokyo 2020.
Still in shock that both gold medals in wrestling came from Maryland wrestlers.The UK, with 64.1 million people, has won 27 gold medals
Maryland, with 5.976 million people, has won 14 gold medals
5.56 gold medals for every UK gold
The UK has over 10x the pop, but less than 2x the golds. Maryland outperformed the UK by a huge margin...

I'm from Australia and have to say we suck as a sporting nation, we throw so much money at these goofballs and they always underperform... Australians were tipping us to get 20 golds... LmaoThe Australians possess the only sporting culture I see as a peer. Fellow rejects. It's that prison vote.
Hespect.
Resources are 95% of the battle. The US is absolutely packed in infrastructure. I mean, 90% of high schools in the country fund basketball, track, swimming, wrestling, soccer, volleyball, etc. for its students. They provide the fields, equipment, coaches, transportation, leagues, for every single student that is interested.
That's completely unheard of anywhere else in the world.
