I don't think favoritism had anything to with it and its the reason they won the gold, as a team they were just leagues better than the rest.  The team put the best person for the event on the floor. If you were good at beam, you did beam and so on. Has nothing to do with where you finished in comp or trials.

Irish Olympics.


1 boxer sent home for doping

1 boxer sticks finger up at judges after is robbed of a medal and goes off on a huge tirade against the AIBA

Head of the Irish Olympic council arrested in his bathrobe after huge ticket scandal, charges of forming a cartel and fraud face him in Rio.

The Olympics needs to be USA vs every other country combined.


It's like watching the Florida Gators play Northern Mississippi in week 2.

I knew the second I saw that interview where he was saying the guy put the gun to his forehead and he replied with "Whatever man". Kid has never had a gun to his head and if he did  he would piss himself. He got caught in a blatant lie and that's that. Completely foolish and possibly criminal.

That's because NBC (understandably) only shows the events where the US is almost certain to win a medal. It's a bit of a skewed view

Almost certain? There's nothing certain out there.

I've seen many many many events where the US didn't win medals.  Heck, the NBC company is showing werestling and there isn't a dog in the fight for Greco wrestling.  Numerous athletes in track and field aren't winning.

I agree. I was telling my wife the whole story was weird and made no sense.
