USA was fucked over by a New Zealand high jumper who talked the USA high jumper he tied with into not sharing a gold medal and instead jumping off for gold and silver.
USA still wins the medal count because the first tie-breaker is number of silver medals, and the second tie-breaker is number of bronze medals.
The third tie-breaker, however, is alphabetical ranking based on IOC code, in which case, China [CHN] would beat USA [USA].
Picturing China plotting to drive the medal count to the third tie-breaker… And then USA arguing that technically, "United States of" is a modifier, and that its code should be [AME]…
Meanwhile, at the most populous country in the world:
India's best-ever haul at an Olympics is seven medals in 2020.
India has never won a medal at a Winter Olympics.
India has only won three gold medals since 1964.
If India doesn't win the gold medal in men's cricket in 2028…
The organizing committee of an Olympics may propose to the IOC the inclusion of additional events for their edition only.
In addition to cricket, Los Angeles is adding flag football and lacrosse, which just seem like ways to inflate USA's gold medal count against China.
If India ever hosts an Olympics, it should add spelling.
If the Philippines ever hosts? Karaoke.
Yulo was offered lifetime supplies of cookies, ramen, free buffets, baked mac and cheese, and chicken inasal.
A car lights specialist offered him a free set of headlights and fog lights for his vehicle, while another business offered a lifetime supply of phone cases. A gastroenterologist pledged free consultation and endoscopic procedures for Yulo when he turns 45, as well as to any patients in need whom Yulo would like to endorse.
Yulo has also been offered franchises for a lemon drink business.
A lifetime supply of something sounds amazing until it's delivered as a lump sum.
At least the buffet's parent restaurant group doesn't seem to be in danger of going out of business.
Next year, Saudi Arabia will host the inaugural Olympic E-sports Games, because of course.
Idea: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic E-sports Games.
Play as Mario, Sonic, and friends playing Rocket League, Street Fighter 6, NBA 2K…
Alas, the IOC killed its deal with Nintendo and Sega in favor of NFTs, because of course.
