What? Finnish national record for 100M is 10,12, set in 2023.
Under 10 in legal conditions is a big deal.
I think it's because US audience sees players as primarily NBA players (with the cultural encouragement to pick favorites and non-favorites). We rarely think of them as national team members -- or at least that's a far, far secondary consideration in the way we form opinions about them. Their Team USA participation is seen more as a novelty than as a feature of who they really are.
This cultural inclination may change with the greater international competition, though probably slowly if it ever happens.

My uncle run it under ten as well
On a good day, under ten minutes. But if he was drunk, he settled for under ten hours.

Finnish are great athletes.
Not really, since it’s just an under 21 team.
Under 23 with 3 overage players.
Bogut was saying on his podcast today that FIBA want to pull basketball from the Olympic schedule and just leave 3v3 basketball as an Olympic sport. They are apparently dissatisfied with the commercial impact the Olympics has on the World Championships and the IOC doesn't do any profit sharing.
