Why is USA so dominant in sports. Like in the Olympics, those are not even USAs main sports but they still dominate. Most medals by far with china in second but that’s only because of pure population. I guess USAs genetics r just that much better

Shownu [#2]USA has great athletes but in individual sports like Tennis, Football, Cricket etc... They suck.
no one in the US plays cricket bud
USA does not have one dominant sport like most other countries (soccer), so the US diversifies where the top athletes play and end up with strong athletes in many categories. Additionally, there is a lot of money behind sports and sport success, which allows athletes to be full-time in their niche sports for many sports that can only be hobbies in most other nations.

depends what your definition of domination is, id say historically (maybe less so now) that USA was ABSOLUTELY dominant in boxing, the next best country Mexico being SUPER far behind in raw talent output
wizardbot [#13]USA usually have great players in every sports and in the sports they don't, they export them from other countries lol. Like in chess, their team is one of the strongest in the world however it has only one guy born in America iirc. And thats hikaru who's japanese origin?

"imports" as if they aren't american/canadian because they aren't white. you're racist.

NA has more medals per capita in olympics that actually matter. EU is inferior like always. like who even plays curling.

Yeah out of like the top 5 most popular sports, America is only really good at basketball
Revlo [#30]"imports" as if they aren't american/canadian because they aren't white. you're racist.
Lmfao wtf. Im not even going to reply to the racist part, but let me give you a example. Levon aronian top 10 itw just a while back shifted to the US from Armenia, he was lured there by Rex Siquenfield (owner of a big chess club) because of good opportunities, just like many other good players. Fabiano caruana probably 2nd/3rd in the world used to play for Italy, Leiner Dominguez (from cuba) moved to US when he was 35 yrs old. Wesley So used to play for Phillipines. So out of the 6 top 20 itw players of US chess team, only 2 came from US junior circuit (Hikaru and Fabi) and Fabi developed his chess in Italy not US. These things are very well known and accepted by everyone in chess community. Dont make stupid accusations if you dont know what the other person is talking about
The US high-school/collegiate sports system is pretty big and well-funded, which helps create the notion that sports is a very viable and achievable career compared to other countries, and I believe it was Eisenhower (and JFK who built upon it) who also rolled out a fitness policy for American citizens, urging them to be more fit and healthy.

KssS [#55]its not about genetics its because the US spends more on its athletes. Top talent from across the world migrate to the US because they can earn more than what their home country provides

turkey [#57]a lot of great track programs here in the US idk if there are in other countries
Yeah, in the USA, every school (starting at around age 12) has a track team and students are encouraged to play multiple sports and try out for multiple track events.
Elcatsu [#54]Trying to fit cricket as the popular sports lmao couldn't be more indian
Cricket has more than 2.5 billion followers.
That may be just because of india and pakistan's population but that doesn't mean cricket isnt the second most popular sport by number of fans.
