We finished tied for China on 40 golds each. If only that high jumper had been willing to share gold with the Kiwi...

'I'm seeing Facebook/reddit memes suggesting team sports getting only one medal is unfair. They want team sports to give medals for (e.g. basketball) three pointers, assists, free throws, etc.

it's an incredibly stupid idea.

The only sport I have beef with the amount of medal is swimming. There are 35 events. It's ridiculous.

Olympics should go retro: Only sports requiring speed or strength. Oh, and it should be in the nude.

All other sports should have their own world championships.

2/3 of the world is water so swimming is underrepresented
It is still weird though, freestyle is fastest yet we need breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and medley events.
They do have race walking, but would have to add skipping and I suppose either hopping or backwards running to match swimming's 4 disciplines.

I guess swimmers could beef with the hurdles, could be fun though if they put hurdles to swim/jump over or under in the pools.
