That's surely enough to expect dominance, right?
Who exactly is expecting dominance?

I think that is enough to expect better than the embarrassing results we have seen so far. I don't see anyone here bemoaning the fact we can't keep up with China and the US.

Heck at this point a bronze would be nice
