Looking back they will be happy, but after getting so close to getting a gold, almost tasting it...I mean come on, anyone would be devestated. Unless they were a huge underdog or something along those lines, but they weren't. They aren't poor sports at all, they are just passionate. Unless they start complaining about the results, I don't see how they could be considered poor sports in this situation.

Yeah I guess you're right. Thinking back where team's I have been on have come up just short is kind of heartbreaking.

 

[davidsaurus]

Man. Russians arent happy with anything but Gold.

Seems kind of like poor sports.

Ya got beat kiddo.

So what happens cause of the tie for 3rd ... there is no actual tie?

Poor sports? :S
More like passionate.

[masud]

Deliberation at Velodrome.

China may get DQ'd from the Gold for same reason as Pendleton/Varnish.

Meanwhile China getting interviewed by Olympic Broadcasters on their win...

 

[BravesCountry]

Oh my. Nastia with a 16.65 on bars?

Nastia really was incredible in Beijing. Absolutely amazing.

 

[jl4855]

china why

 

[McNei1y]

Media training is the big thing. I wonder how many athletes do go home to their dorm and actually tear up at a silver. I mean, I don't want that to happen because to all of us, being there is an achievement in itself. But we rarely see anyone upset on camera. I do wonder if some athletes go back and show emotions whether its crying or cursing or something else.

Komova was just devastated. It's understandable. She's 16/17 years old and has been training for this shit for quite awhile.

These fab five girls are pretty damn good but it would've been cool to see Nastia and Shawn repeat. Those girls were fantastic.

[masud]

Does Gabby have a chance at gold in any of the individual events?

 

[killer_clank]

[JohnTinker]

[Peru]

Fencing outfits are kinda elegant / hot.

 

[Wes]

Second Chinese rider may have overtook her team partner before they were allowed to.

CHINA RELEGATED. GERMANY TAKE GOLD

 

[AngryMoth]

China relegated to 2nd in team sprint

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Whoa. New judge in fencing after a delay. I wonder what happened?

 

[Kobalty]

China regulated now jesus !!!

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Germany should get the gold, China did the same shit as Team GB.

lol

 

[Officerrob]

2008 scores demolish this years.

The Liukin uneven bar and balance beam scores are insane

 

[3Sixty]

Best 2 teams "relegated"



DRAMA

 

[Biggzy]

China relegated.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Uh oh.

 

[davidsaurus]

Holy shit, that China relegation. Oh man, I'd be furious.

 

[Brinbe]

More terrible FTs, wow Russia.

 

[Levyne]

[LTWheels]

Ha!

 

[masud]

Big Russian men stay chokin'

edit: Or not! Watch this game people!

 

[Hunter S.]

China done the same thing as GB?

For what sport?

 

[Good Job Bob]

I wish Wieber didn't lose out to Aly, I think she could've at least medaled here.

 

[Dark Schala]

What happened wrt DQ?

This fencing is pretty close. :O Edit: well, not close anymore.

 

[killer_clank]

I'm terrified the GB men will somehow do the same. Seems totally savage.

 

[Wes]

For what sport?

Cycling. Women's Team Sprint.

BBC BREAKING THE NEWS TO THE GERMAN TEAM! :lol

 

[AngryMoth]

Not that I know anything about cycling but for the same thing to happen twice at the Olympics makes this rule seem insanely harsh. I suppose it should be up to the riders to not cut it so close, just such a shame, really casts a black shadow over this event

 

[Brinbe]

Oh snap, tied up! 26 secs left... awesome finish incoming

 

[ActStriker]

Congrats to Gabby Douglas, and goddamn oh so close for Raisman

 

[D4Danger]

lol the BBC commentator was the one who told Germany they'd won gold. They were walking past ready to go get their silver when she told them.

 

[Ark]

That embarrassing. The best two teams relegated, but China still got a medal.

 

[Nesotenso]

2008 scores demolish this years.

makes you wonder if you are gonna see these US girls in 4 years time. Will always love Johnson.

 

[jl4855]

china say it aint so

 

[Officerrob]

I wish Wieber didn't lose out to Aly, I think she could've at least medaled here.

I think Wieber would have easily been a lock for at least bronze
