brits did better this olympics than they have previously. so there was improvement.
american football is a good point, though. it's extremely popular in the USA. it's basically the #1 sport here. that means a great many of our top athletes grow up practicing the sport and going into it either at a college or professional level.
american football is obviously not very popular around the world. there's no reason for it to be an olympic sport. unfortunately for us that means a great many of our best athletes will never compete in the olympics. if american football wasn't popular that means those athletes would be doing something else.
it's very possible that american football popularity in the USA takes away 10-20 golds each olympics.
