Canada at Olympics?

Why do you think it is that Canada (population 30 million) had so many fewer medals than Australia (population 20 million)?
Or USA vs China? 290 million vs 1.5 billion but many more medals for the USA.

The reason being, is that they have no fucking money. Thank you liberal government for causing such an embarassment.

My thoughts on Canada's Performance at the olympics:

While we didnt get an extremely high medal count in this games, I dont think anyone was the right to be upset with the athletes. Having watched several events I feel we put up an impresive effort and all our athletes deserve recognition. The competion in these games was extremely tight with most of the medal winners seperated by hundredths of points. looking at the number of our athletes who placed in the top 5 or qualified in each event for the finals we placed very well overall. We dont focus our training as much on the summer sports which is well known in the olympic comunity, even the heads of the olympic commitee made a comment on how we need to support our summer athletes as much as our winter ones. But forgetting that I give each and every one of our athletes congradulations for giving great efforts in every event. The competetion from the world is getting fierce but we can still compete.

On a side note I think Canada still has one of the best displays of patriotism at the games. No matter when you saw an athlete on TV they always displayed a flag somewhere on themselves. And in the closing ceremony they were all extatic to be there and were wearing every possible flag they could, as well as doing laps oround the stadium proudly waving the giant canadian flag. I was proud to have such a great group of athletes representing us.

Are you some sort of coach? that sounded like a post game pep talk. and no offense but it sounds like a speech you give to a team that just got their asses kicked.

ya, the government puts no money in to olympic sports and training, look at the u.s and there training facility, also look at how many more black people there are in the u.s, for the track events you want black people they're good at it, and the u.s is full of them thanx to slavery and all

dont sterotype about black people. great britain's sprint team had black people also, can we blame them for slavery also? i dont even know where im going with this but all i know is that you were correct in saying that the US puts more money into trainning and facilities. it also helps that our collegiate programs are the best in the world. dont just say its cuz we have black people.

But of course, like all great plans, this one has its hitches. I know there are going to be some bleeding heart sissies that are going to think it's wrong to launch old people into the sun. But don't worry, I've got a plan to deal with them too.

I too blame the government for spending more money on health care and education than they do on athletes. Regarless, that arguement is void because Australia is just as liberal as Canada is. I don't want to turn this thread into another political thread, but I think that more emphasis should be placed on business sponsorship than on government sponsorship. Selling out is WAY underrated.

I dont think that it is just a lack of funding. It may also be due to a lack of determination.

BC- everyones high. Alberta- everyones working the oilfield or being broke farmers. Saskatchewan- driving Chevys. Manitoba- staying dry and preparing for winter. Ontario- adoring Martin and Toronto. Quebec- trying to learn English or getting ready to seperate. NB,PEI,Nova Scotia- fishing and making Alexander Keiths commercials. NFLD- learning English. The Yukon and NWT- being cold, mining diamonds and sometimes huffing gas. Nunavut- what's that?

Yea the american public eats that shit up we love our AMERICAN HEROES!! SO most of our athletes just make sponsorship money from nike and shit like that!
Im not positive but it doesnt seem like that big of a deal in canada for summer so no will to be a competitor!




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

Yeah go Australia. We have these two comedians called Roy and HG that did a show every night from Greece. Apparently if we had the same population as USA we would win something like 300 Golds or something stupid. But yeah China will dominate next time, their govt will make sure they do well with full strict training and shit.

Speaking of that diving guy did you see the 14 yr old Malaysian. He looked way younger than 14

people need sports, cuz we have to watch on the top. If there are no 'top' people, mankind will go down. there are so less kings and princess. So people in a democracy need the view to the top.

it couldn't have been a 14 year old, you need to be at least 16 by the end of the year in order to go to the olympics.

i think it's because the usa is expected to win. when we get silver we're bummed. we're #1 and we better fuckin show it...at everything!

if we don't place, the athletes get beaten as well.


[ Slug ]

You look like you were built for me; You talk like you want to steal my drink
You kiss like you already came; And that's a lift to pull a line for those with out any game

It's like damn baby; You know you can't save me
But you should still tell your people that your leaving with the band; Maybe you can show me your hustle
Neither one of us would be so lonely; If only you would come over here and hold me
I caught you trying to hide your smile behind your glass; But all of your secrets become a swing set when you laugh
And all of your regrets that you're carrying a burying; Don't mean a damn thing if there's nobody to share them with

We've been following each other all night now; We ought to be all over each other like right now
I don't like crowds lets take flight now; Cause that face that you make
Reminds me of my life now.
