because they qualify and partake in any kind of sport in this world. Not we looking for drawing books

Another Gold for China.. Javelin

Because the US has

1.The kind of funding that many nations can only dream of.

2.Enough talent in most (not all) sports to form a good enough team

3.Enough interest from the local population in most sports...once there is interest, funding and expertise follow.

4.Strong competitive structures from cradle to grave....literally (yes, there are athletic competitions for the elderly in the USA)

5.Enough facilities in 1) schools ..the school one is crucial 2) municipal sports grounds 3) private sport grounds.

Not just that...most Nigerians don't have interest in most sports.

Apart from football.

Once there is sufficient interest in a sport...the sponsors, and expertise, and competitions would follow.

Canada wins the gold medal for women's football. Definition of luck.

Serbia vs France...half tine...43-40 women's basketball, first half scores.

Looks like it is over for Team Nigeria.

France win women's basketball bronze.

Modern pentathlon won by a Brit, second by an Egyptian, and third by a South korean.

10000m women...

Sifan Hassan looking for gold number 2 (got bronze in 1500m)

And now she has gotten the gold...at 10000m.

Hard hard hard race.

KENYA not doing well at all

Lose 1500m men
Lose 10000m women.

Okay.

India takes gold...in the javelin.

Strange...

US wins 4 x 400m women.

Athing Mu...MIA for South sudan and the Sudan....doing it for the USA.

US wins 4 x 400m men's relays. Botswana gets bronze, Netherlands silver

High jump women

Gold to Russia, silver to Australia, bronze to Ukraine.

76th minute of the World Cup Olympics football final...1-1 Brazil-Spain.

1-1 at full time for spain and brazil...

Brazil and Spain into extra time...

Brazil leading 2-1

And now for some football history

Every country that wins a world cup is allowed to add a star to their jersey.

Uruguay has 4 stars despite winning the world cup twice...because they won the Olympics football event twice...in 1924 and 28...when the Olympics football event was the only global association football tournament.(no world cup till 1930)

Brazil defend their Olympic football title. 2-1 after extra time. Silver for spain.

So, the remaining event for me, is the marathon.

France took gold in handball.

Austrailia got the bronze in men's basketball.

JAPAN beat the USA at baseball...

Right...

And they won the softball too.
