>An article in France’s Le Monde newspaper was headlined: “Olympics 2016: how the British bought their medals.”
>You kidding me? The country which has never finished above China is about to,” tweeted the Xinhua news agency. The account later deleted the tweet, but China was licking its wounds after a third-placed finish on the medals table below the United States and the United Kingdom

Why is phoneposting so much harder than normal?
When the fuck are you going to leave the EU?
Never. The plan is to stay inside and act retarded like we are now in the hope of bringing the whole tent down.
why don't england, scotland, wales and norn compete separately
Fake asthma
We don't think about you at all.
>how the British bought their medals.
It was just a realistic article
Everybody knows how you give shitloads of money to only the athletes with more potential and throw the rest to the trash
That's just a way to do it
probably never
brexit was always an internal issue. EU27 has been prepared to allow UK to leave whether with a deal or not, but the UK keeps extending it because its an internal issue.

>Destroys the party and rips the country apart
Countries that host the Olympics naturally get a funding boost to Olympic sports and medal counts increase. Australia had their best medal count when they hosted the 2000 Olympics, same as China in 2008
The better question is why would anyone care about Olympic results 3 weeks afterwards let alone 3 fucking years afterwards. No one cares dude. We have one of the highest Olympic golds per capita in the world and even here the only sport people care about outside of the actual Olympics is football even though we suck dick at it. Your government spent billions of taxpayer money so you can feel better about yourself through the accomplishment of others for two weeks. You can jerk off to its memory wrapped in the Union Jack with your fellow brit "Winifred Okocha", but really no one cares.
What's your guys excuses for your piss poor effort when you've hosted summer and winter games?
i still remember the blind judges on cycling track
you can always buy a blindlessness
Sshhh dont tell the toilet flushers.
Why doesnt california, new york, ohio, texas etc. compete separately?
Because people don't like it when those who are usually defined by their self-loathing decides to find some pride in themselves, even when it's meant ironically.
Which is why so many people took "it's coming home" way too seriously.
I want to fuck katinka hozsu
>Spend billions to win amateur sports like rowing
>'Look how good we are'
More like spend billions just to piss you guys off
>you now remember the "round wheels" complaint of 2012
they are states, not countries. why does the uk compete separately in international soccer?
The Scottish and English FAs are older than FIFA itself, so they’re allowed to exist. Wales and NI have their own team because fuck it let’s just give them a team as well
This would be pretty based though.
Have 'state' teams that contribute towards their parent country's total but also have a separate medal table breakdown. eg;
Medal Table
1st USA
2nd China
3rd Russia
4th Great Britain
5th France
State Table
1st Guangdong
2nd Texas
3rd England
4th Catalonia
5th Normandy
