Why is everyone complaining that USA is not getting as much Gold medals as before?

Question

Cant everyone in the US understand that the other countries including China are getting better in sports US isn't always gonna get Gold or win all the time and China isn't cheating they just got better

Answer 1

ditto

Answer 2

Really though ! like do they think that because they won something one year and didtn win it the next year that people are cheating! its called improving, maybe you should do it on you athletes and on your personalitites, im tired of the arrogant annoying act

Answer 3

I guess people on here are complaining but I have not heard anyone else complaining about it. I am sure the US is proud of their accomplishments, and they certainly have nothing to complain about. China and the USA are different in their approach to sports. It's do or die for China whereas if you don't win a gold medal in the USA it's not a big deal. The fact of the matter is, winning any colored medal should be respected and held on high regards. Just like the US Men's Gymanstics team did with their bronze. And I know where I am from we hold high regards for all of our athletes that bring home and color medal.

Answer 4

Well, we know most jealous foreigners lie about Americans and make stuff but to make their c**p countries look better,

but need need names of these so called complainers, because the only complainer i see here is you and the whiners who cry about the U.S.

Answer 5

Its because reporters and commentators are putting the US on such a high pedestal that when the US competitors dont meet certain expectations viewers want to call foul.  

Answer 6

I agree with AckiLeeZ.  Most of the Americans never go to Asia before, that's for sure.  I don't blame them if they don't understand other cultures at all.  Especially they got so brainwashed by their own media, which they thought they are so democratic.

Answer 7

The US is not getting less golds than in previous years. China has just been getting more. US has had 35 and 37 in the last two Olympics, and they should be just around that number this time.

Answer 8

most countries are getting better esp in sports where US usually get lots of medals but China has no competition in events where its dominant like diving or pingpong

Answer 9

We will get 30-35 gold like we usually do...nothing changes. Just that China dumped billions into their sports programs just for these Olympics.

The US will have 5 or 6 gold coming in from the team sports (basketball, vollyball, etc..) and about 5 or 6 more from track and filed and that gets USA to 35 gold. Which is equal to what USA got in Athens.

Answer 10

Winning gold isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that. Remember, it's not the taking part that counts, it's the winning.

Answer 11

Thanks for having some sense.

I've read way too much c**p on the Internet lately.

"The judges are biased! China's cheating"

It honestly makes me sick.

For those of you that don't believe people are complaining? Try google-ing it. The NBC commentators I think are mostly to blame for putting ideas of unfair judging (particularly gymnastics) into the viewers' minds.

The world is full of cycles. and the Superpower title is one of them. At one point, it was the Romans, and the Portuguese, the Brits, the Soviets. China's on its way up, and many people don't like it.

Answer 12

We still have the most medals! That's something.

Answer 13

Whose complaining?  I want names.

  

Answer 14

some americans are sore losers.  i bet if the olympics were to be held here in the states,  you would hear boos like crazy for the chinese.  chinese fans still appreciate american athletes even though we kill them in sports(basketball, swimming, etc.)

Answer 15

Crybaby

d**n, foreigners are gold medal whiners and criers.

Answer 16

I think they are complaining because some of the USA team are not as good as some other countries and are maybe jealous.....

Some arent complaining as its great to see other countries giving a good fight for Gold

Answer 17

I suppose it is more common than not, Fausto for a nation or its' people to want to be first. Sometimes that becomes so blindly a necessary, or obsessional drive, that if others challenge its' expected success, they can not face the challenge fairly. They must go into some form of denial in order to accept the truth. If the truth IS that other countries, let us say in this case China, is at present more successful at the games, many false reasons may be thought of to make more comfortable a fair, but contradicting truth.

The tendency in most people is to cheer to win for their "own".

Welcome back...how are your drawings progressing? Grecia.

Answer 18

wow finally found someone who got sense. amen to that.

Answer 19

The Usa are sore losers, not really the athletes but the coaches and that bela karalyi guy.
