Time to think of firing the president of the US Olympic committee, Larry Probst, and possibly replacing the whole committee. The results are a total disappointment
By Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ
In 2010 US was number 1 in the total medal count in the winter Olympic games with 36 medals in total.
In 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia, US came second with 28 medals to Russia’s 33.
This year shapes to be the worst year in the total medal standing and total medals for the US. Currently US is sharing the 4th place with Holland with 16 medals total.
Norway, a country of only about 5 million people. so far has 33 medals to US, a country with 326 million and a total 16 medals. Currently, Germany has 24 medals and Canada has 21 medals.
US men’s hockey team failed to advance to the finals.Figure skating has been a disaster. US champions in pair skating came in 16th. Media darling Adam Rippon came in 10th. Two other US men skaters came in fifth and sixth. After the short program US women are in 9th, 10th and 11th places and do not have much chance for medals.
So far, the only individual medal in the figure skating was in ice dancing, brother and sister team, Maia and Alex Shibutani, who came in third and in the team competition US came in third.
While watching multiple falls of the skaters I cannot but help wonder, do they have the best sport psychologists, who would put those skaters in the zone, do they have the best coaches, the best conditions?
More importantly, what happens to all the tax payers moneys and private donations that go to the Olympics?
A big part of the success in Olympics and other competitions, is attracting the top coaches.
As an example, in ice dancing 3 out of 4 top ice dancing pairs are coached by the same coaching team, Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Louzon from Canada.
Three out of four top men skaters are coached by the same coach, Brian Orser from Canada.
Top two women skaters: Evgenia Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova are coached by the same coach, Eteri Tutberidze in Russia. What’s interesting, is that Tutberidze tried her luck coaching in the US. She lived here for a number of years, was married to an American and her daughter, Diana Davis, also a skater, was born right here, in the US. Tutberidze recently gave an interview to Russian TV. She was saying that she did not get good conditions for coaching in the US. She could get only early morning hours of 5 am, had to get up at 4 am to coach the girls and she ended up leaving the US and moving back to Moscow. In Moscow she got the best hours for coaching, best conditions. Now her students are number 1 and 2 in the world competitions and currently number 1 and 2 after the short program in the Olympics and US girls are currently number 9, 10 and 11.
This is very unfortunate.
US is an economic super power with some 19.4 trillion GDP to Russia’s 1.6 trillion. In US GDP per capita is $59,600, in Russia it is only $10,885. US has great resources, we should be able to attract and retain the top coaches, however the leadership of the US Olympic committee is lacking and it is time to replace the Chair of the US Olympic committee, Larry Probst, and possibly the whole committee. US Olympic committee needs new leaders who would attract the best coaches, like Tutberidze, and would keep those coaches in the US.

I don’t know if it’s just the coaching. The best coach in the world can’t help athletes who make the team because of race, sexual orientation or other politically correct reasons. I am sick of all the attention that Rippon, Kenworthy, Vonn and other losers are getting.

Good point, Orly. Thanks for explaining and providing that info.

Trump’s immigration plans won’t admit foreigners from shithole countries. And obviously this isn’t just about money because otherwise the US would win every gold. It’s about skill. And not all of the most skilled athletes are American. Many of them choose to live in nicer countries like Norway and Canada.

Too right Martha. All those gay niggers and the woman like Vonn who have black boyfriends. Must be so upsetting.

Natural laws…gifts from GOD: talents
Equal opportunity but not equal
Outcome.
Funny how NFL stand for « social justice » rather than equal justice. Black people are gifted in sport and music.
Louis Pasteur was white and a genius. He changed the world. He discovered penicillin; a gift tp humanity.

Bob Morris, or Muchelle or Valerie Jarrett, whatever your name is, again just like the lame stream media you are posting information that has not been proven true and that were spread by a confirmed liar in congress. I bet you love CNN.
