U.S. Men Reclaim Relay Record
Loading...
Uploaded by sportsnetwork on Mar 30, 2007
Michael Phelps collected his fifth gold medal of the world championships as the United States set a world record of seven minutes, 3.24 seconds in the men's 4x200-meter freestyle relay final on Friday. Phelps combined with Ryan Lochte, Klete Keller and Peter Vanderkaay to wipe 1.42 off the previous record of 7:04.66 set by Australia at the 2001 world championships in Fukuoka, Japan. Australia finished a distant second in 7:10.05 and Canada grabbed the bronze in 7:10.70. (WCSN, WCSN.com)

@Niiiiization you yourself say the numbers you make up are exactly that, made up.
your assumptions are just theory and observations do not create correlation or causation.
I will accept that their are certain inequalities such as funding in certain area of sports. (most nations opt to focus in several certain games that they can do well in) and etc. The implications of what you say suggest that the medals of certain people are worth-less if you are from America.

@RimfireOmega but people from say Australia have many many many fewer people to choose their olympic team for, so there might be say only 500,000 people (just pulling that number out of nowhere) competitive swimmers at all ages in Australia, whereas America or another country with a greater populattion might have 7-8 million.

@cypbq thats an unfair and a logically flawed comparison because the ratio medal to people is invalid - each country sends the same amount of olympic competitors to an event.
If you are claiming their population is smaller, therefore theres less eligible people for the olympics then you are mistaken.
