Why is America training other countries Athletes?

Question

It makes no sense!! these very same athletes then turn around and win gold medals at our expense?

Answer 1

Yes, there are quite a few Americans training other countries Athletes

BUT, what about Shawn Johnson's coach? He was born in Beijing!

It really doesn't matter

Team USA!!!

Answer 2

What are you talking about?

Answer 3

they dont train them for some other countries  they train these foreigner for them self like sanya richards for example

Answer 4

Because America isn't as "selfish" as the rest of the world thinks we are.

Answer 5

Because that's what makes this country great.

You can come from overseas and train here, compete here and at the Olympics compete for your home country.

Nothing wrong with that. If anything, the fact that they train here and win shows how good the training is here.

Answer 6

It's a free country, plus it's not like those athletes are getting trained with tax payer money.  They pay their own way, in a sense their money helps run the USOC.  Those athletes like that Aussie swimmer goes to college here, do you know how much more money they pay to be there?

Answer 7

because most americans aren't very good in sports. so they use black people chinese or other people. that wat i think they don't use white people in most sports.

Answer 8

Do you want to take your toys and go home now that you are no longer dominant?
