The team has nearly tripled in size since then, growing from 10 members at the 2016 Rio Games to 37 in Paris.

10 -> 20 is double

10 -> 30 is double double

10 -> 40 is triple

Lol someone help me understand

The original draft probably said "nearly a 300% increase" and then the editor didn't know the difference between percent increase and basic multiplication.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
