If they counted Chinese born athletes or Chinese ethnicity athletes, the Olympics wouldn't even be fair. The Kazakh woman in the weightlifting was born in China too.

1 more for Szilagyi to win.
4 Americans got sent (3 fencing, 1 alternate). I was number 6 at time of qualification.
I wonder if a Gaffer has ever actually competed in the Olympics? You might be the closest.

Yeah, that's the worst feeling, almost qualifying for an event as huge as the Olympics.

It's not international enough and just looks too much like Ice Hockey. I prefer the bigger pitch of hockey.
ps. Nice stuff from GB Hockey, not sure how good Japan are supposed to be.

I think about this alot.
Look at the runners. Your Olympics could literally be 15 seconds if you lose that first qualifying race. How heartbreaking is that?
Two halves of 35 mins
I have no problem with that, it's just funny most table tennis players are naturalized Chinese players.
Though the number of borderline racist comments on twitter is scary.

How old are you, chances for Brazil 2016? A gaffer competing in the Olympics would be amazing.

I wonder if we've ever seen a 1-2 in Hockey. Or is that too difficult?
I see. Thanks. Just wondered why it seems to have been so popular in the last year or so.
Also, Team GB's women are putting the men to shame so far these Olympics.

Having a gaffer to cheer on in the next olympics would be pretty dope
And an insider on village hijinks
Just being there means you're among the very best, even if you don't qualify for the finals or whatever.
It must be heartbreaking at first, though.
Definitely try out for Rio. Never give up on the dream!

Dana Vollmer FTW! Gonna be a very quick first swim. Just there and back!
That's what I thought as well. Floorball is much more fun though, the hockey pitch is too big.

Ian Thorpe seems really nice and likeable. I can't put my finger on it, but there;s something off-putting about Phelps
Would be able to tell us all the goings on at the Olympic orgy.

I'm 28 now, and sabre fencers range from like 20 to 36ish, so it's ok physically. But I'm married*, will have my first kid in December, so I have to focus on my career rather then spend money on training and flying to tournaments.
*can't take part in orgies.
