[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, sure there's soccer and basketball. But like 99.9% of the olympic sports arent even offered at schools around here. How is America supposed to compete on a level playing field when 9 out of the 10 sports we don't even give our kids a chance to try out in school? [/quote] There's 32 Olympic sports. Lots of high schools offer: Soccer Basketball Swimming Track and field Tennis Wrestling Golf Volleyball That's a minimum of 1/4 being offered at a typical high school, and lot more than a quarter of the medals. Some also offer field hockey and water polo. Also we do pretty well at the Olympics if you haven't noticed.[/quote] Isn’t Track and Field like 10 sports…all the running, discus, high jump, long jump, javelin, etc? Baseball and flag football will be at 2028 so that’s two more. [/quote]
