let’s see europeans try to argue this 😂
In my lifetime the only time I've heard people regularly discuss Olympics was when we hosted, otherwise people watch the opening ceremony then stop caring. Speaking for England ofc, some other countries it may be a big deal but it really isn't over here. F1, Rugby and Tennis get way more discussion than Olympics usually, let alone Football which dominates all sports discourse here.
It's not outdoing the whole continent in achievements at all. There's a difference between being happy cause you won something and calling out people. When you call us out like that It just feels like you have something to prove to europeans and that everything you do requires validation from us. Like a complex :)
