Okay, that makes some sense.

Perhaps the reason I was defensive is because in the US we have a tendency to stereotype Asians as lacking individuality (which being unable to differentiate names plays into). I was just trying to work against this tendency.

Thats fair. Im not offended if people misinterpret me, as that is often equally my fault. Misunderstanding is also maybe the most human thing.

How many meters did Femke Bol take on the US runner on that final stretch?

Not sure but she was a clear third with 100m to go, and at least 30m behind the US runner who was in the lead.

That was one super human effort.

Yeah, and you'll get closer to two digits eventually. Hello from Finland. We might get nothing. Maybe one, with some luck, two. :sadge:

I guess Norway might get medals in handball both for men (possibly) and women (might be favorites) plus Ingebrigtsen/Norås and Warholm, at least. Nothing in tennis, and doesn't look like golf will be a success. Might be another couple in various track and field.

What about sailing? My bets for Finn's are some sailors that are left, or men's javelin/women's hammer throw and pole vault. We have failed mostly, but never had many clear medal favorites. We should focus to support more sailors and other events with less competition. The support from business world and coaching culture imo are much better condition in our scandinavic compatriats... Maybe one day we'll bounce back.

There might be some more sailing competitions coming up, but the ones who've been competing until now haven't succeeded, at least. I think we've been collecting a serious number of 4th spots so far, though.
 
Man blood sweat and tears out here on center court.

I’ve watched my fair share of grand slam finals, but this match has a little something extra added.

You’re not just playing for yourself, you’re playing for your whole country.
