US Women dominate Olympics

[luiza]

The Olympics is a passe, second tier activity. Have fun with it.

What a big baby you are .
The most prestiguous event by universal agreement and Roy the little Boy does not like being told that the US is achieving below pro rata versus first level world powers like France and Team GB .

Perhaps to you, but you must come to terms with your own handicaps .

Not just me. All normal people, which is most people.

Saying that women dominate sports is like saying men dominate fashion.

Be honest. Are you watching women's beach vollyball or men's?

Ya know, the girls' asses are eye catching, but the captivation only lasts a couple of minutes.

Out of 40 Gold Medals

US women won 26
US Men won 14

Women do better on the international stage

Lots of pros are recently opting out of the Olympics. It includes tennis, golf, among others. They give vague reasons for snubs, such as "scheduling conflicts" or "health reasons." The real reason is they don't want to risk injury.

So, a larger percentage of women fill the void. That's because no one is interested in women's pro sports. They're subsidized. A big reason for women to be Olympians is they want to be models or other resume enhancements.

Tennis and Golf are fringe Olympic Sports with their own professional circuits

Most Olympians are not professionals
This is the highlights of their careers

You clearly did not watch the Olympics or you would realize how ******* stupid you sound.

And golf had the best players from every country in the world. Almost all the best players were there for both men and women.

The moron has no ******* clue what they are talking about

Neither sport takes the Olympics seriously

A golfer would rather win The Masters than an Olympic Gold Medal
A Tennis player would rather win Wimbledon than a Gold Medal

After decades of disparaging Title IX as money wasted on women’s sports, we are seeing US women dominate on the global stage

https://www.npr.org/2024/08/12/nx-s1-5072047/us-women-olympic-medals

The U.S. won 126 total medals, the most of any country. Of those, women were responsible for a whopping 67.
When it comes to gold medals, China and the U.S. tied with 40 apiece. Team USA has women to thank for 26 of those.

US womens teams also won Gold in Soccer, Basketball and Gymnastics

How do you define a "woman."

Not sure you are correct.

Did you see Scottie Scheffler after he won the gold medal?

"clearly"

You do realize that I clearly trounced you. Come back. I'll wait.

How would he react winning The Masters?
The Olympics is not a Major

Not even close

Many other examples. They're not bothering.

Pro athletes and those going pro are wising up. The NFL pro bowl is now flag football. The NHL totally revamped their all-star game. Pitchers in the MLB all-star game don't even pitch the three innings any more. They go one inning. College players going pro are sitting out meaningless bowl games. Same

Except for the fact every major golfer on both the men's and women's side were at the Olympics.

If they were not there it is because there were 2 from their country better than them and they did not make the cut
