You are fucking slow as fuck, what do you think makes them elite level competition in the first place. You fucking moron…
But why am I even saying this you're obviously mentally handicapped, you think just because someone comes from another country there elite level haha.
Read this slow and several times to get the message, you fucking dipshit.
You are looking at data for US high school teams to gauge participation in judo. Judo isn't setup like that in the US (does your dumbass really think only 740 or so teenage boys participate in judo or under 20,000 girls participate in gymnastics are only 76 boys compete in rodeo events) Karate, TKD, skiing, gymnastics and several other sports are structured the same as judo; they are vastly done through clubs and leagues outside of school.
You can't even grasp the concept that some countries have better developmental programs.
You think that because there are a large number of participates that the developmental system must be good. And a large number of "elite" athletes are developed. Again, most high school athletes are average, regardless of participation levels their skills don't automatically increase or decrease. It just means there are more or less average kids.
The participation data you are looking at doesn't show the structure of the US system. The competitors are highly partitioned.
Large participation from kids in say Ohio & California doesn't mean the participants in New Mexico or South Carolina are going to improve skillwise. That is why in high school sports certain states are viewed as being good in certain sports and the majority aren't highly regarded.
Most kids never see a competitor from out of state, many never see competitors from outside the region of the state they are in until the get to postseason. And the majority don't make it past the league/conference level anyway.
Tell me how that system equates to a bunch of elite athletes? In most circumstances it is just throwing a bunch of mud at a wall and hoping some sticks.
Look at Arizona for high school kids. 186 schools. But those are divided into 4 divisions. You're basing some kid being "elite" because he finished top four out of 45 or so teams.
Another reality for you: Average & below average athletes square off against each other, guess what, one has to win. That doesn't mean the winner is highly skilled, just that he is less shitty.
I never stated competitors being foreign means they are automatically elite. Again, you are displaying poor cognitive reasoning. And here you are using the logic you are accusing me of using with the NFHS data. Data that you don't understand. You are like a fool that took a semester of philosophy, you think you understand but you don't. You should write for the show Ancient Aliens, your failure to grasp logic and concepts would fit right in.
You should check out some high school competition before acting like having a bunch of puds participating increases skill level.
I stated those former wrestlers were average in their careers. They did little if anything to move up in competition. You are stating they should receive accolades because they were part of the mass of mediocrity.
