Im not really into Greco Roman cause its freaking weird but the other day I tuned in and it was on and it was a Cuban fighting but I'm not sure who it was so Idk if I seen him lol.

Dude, this shit literally made me laugh my ass off!

But yea, this year I heard US and Japan were the favorites in women's volleyball and it just hit me. I was like wtf where's our team... Times have changed. Not only is the place getting worse but one of the few things we have to pride ourselves in are going downhill, the olympic programs.

Looks that way. The 2012 medal haul was the least since the 1976 Montreal Olympiad, where Cuba won 13. Still, for such a small impoverished country, Cuba does inordinately well. Many larger, more affluent nations aren't as successful. As I pointed out earlier, Hungary (at least this year) is the only comparable nation to better Cuba at this year's Olympics. Let's hope things improve in 2016.
