wow somebody wrote a book on this

Swimming is a rich people sport because of the infrastructure involved. Not like a dirt field where you can kick a soccer ball or run around.

As China becomes richer, it will naturally 'invade' more high-profile, influential, and popular sports like swimming. It will take time, maybe decade or two... But next generation will pay off, bigly.
time to remove the medley from swimming

Lets not forget that Biles was treated completely like garbage by USA gymanstics in the cover-up of her being sexually assaulted by white convicted sex offender Larry Nasser. The organization is a complete disgrace. Does not deserve any medals.
Agree. USGA is disgrace. Imo They were guilty of not doing enough to protect the gymnasts and either ignored complaints or put too much trust in their "star" doctor. If this was in China, I imagine heads would roll for those at the top in charge

Not might..... she is like 1 body length faster than anyone else. Just like Milak in the men's its her's to lose.
Yeah she is big favourite. No one's PB is close to her. China has tradition in this event with legendary champions like liu zige and jiao liuyang. After her silver in 100m I feel she will more motivated in 200.

Wang jianjiahe just got 4th in 1500m she is young, will be a threat in the future.

HK winning medals is proof even the most nerdy study focused society can win medals. India has no excuse for 'no interest' or 'study-focus' bullshit excuse for not winning medals. India Supa Powah nation in Mental Gymnastics.
