China winning tons of gold medals?

Question

hey anyone think that it is suspicios that china keeps winning most of the gold medals???

Answer 1

It is in their homeland. There could be varying factors. They could be more comfortable to the climate (and the pollution,) and although most of them probably don't come from Bejing, I know me traveling 5 hours to perform in athletic events rather than 15 could also cause a difference in my performance.

Answer 2

So your saying it is suss for China winning lots of gold but its not suss if America wins lots of golds in previous olympics? yeah nothing suss at all...

Answer 3

1/4th the population of the planet is Chinese.

Also they have home field advantage.

So actually, they're not winning as many as they should be.

The host country always wins way more medals than they would normally.

Answer 4

Noooooooooooooooooo why aren't you saying the same for the USA????

Answer 5

well, no.. not really. I mean, China trains their athletes insanely hard. If you look at their way of teaching/instructing, its much more harsher then the USA.  

Answer 6

They just train their athletes hard I guess. REALLY HARD.  

Answer 7

I'm very suspicious of some judging. There's been some real shady judging in boxing and gymnastics. Yes, China is becoming more like the U.S. but it's real sketchy if you ask me.
