Seriously. It's been a great Olympics for Canada in terms of medal count. Could we have gotten more? Of course.

Not only do we already have our most golds ever, but we're guaranteed at least 22 medals, which would put us just 2 shy of our highest ever. And I think we're getting more than 2 more.

Wasn't he in 2nd when the Korean fell?

Here's what I remember. I switched back to hockey, and they're on to the relay now so aren't showing replays, so I don't guarantee I'm right, because this all happened really fast. But I'm pretty sure Hamelin can't have been in second because Ohno touched the Korean attempting to pass him and that's where the two of them stumbled.

- Ohno passed Hamelin
- Hamelin passed Ohno
- Korean attempted outside pass of Ohno
- Ohno touched Korean and dug in behind him
- Korean wiped out
- Ohno wiped out.

Edit: Apparently I'm wrong about the sequence of events, but not about Hamelin being first. Ohno was last when he wiped out, and it was Tremblay he pushed.

You better hope someone ties you in gold and silver so that those bronze's count.

This isnt right.

The Korean passed Hamelin
Hamelin tried to pass the Korean
Ohno touched Tremblay, who wiped out
Tremblay then wiped out the Korean/Canadian version OR Hamelin wiped out the Korean/American version
Hamelin finishes first, Ohno second, Korean third, Tremblay fourth'
Ohno gets DQed
 
See my edit. You guys are seriously completely off if you think Ohno was in lead when he wiped out. Are you confusing Hamelin with Tremblay?

Link again, with quote this time:
http://www.columbustelegram.com/articles/2010/02/26/ap/sports/oly_sho_ohno_s_finale.txt

Ohno was last when he tried to go inside of Canadian Francois-Louis Tremblay on the final turn. The American's right leg appeared to hit Tremblay and sent him crashing into the padding.

South Korea's Sung Si-bak also went down, although it appeared he lost his balance.

Here we go. Relay final. Get ready.

Ohno is pissed. Better not fuck things up and go mental.

Well, it should be at himself for being the shittiest most decorated winter games athlete of all time.

You can get away with poor starts in the longer races but in this one, the seas aren't going to part at the last second for you when you are in last or close to it.

Agreed. Canada and US needs to unite to ensure Russia doesn't fuck up 2014 for us.

Sure. After Canada gets the lead in gold and beats the U.S in men's hockey.

Wow. How many people are in this 5000m final?
 
Solo said:
Ohno NEVER passed Hamelin, who was only passed by the Korean
Click to expand...

Er. Ok? I already admitted my version was wrong. Twice.

The other version (where Hamelin 'stole' gold from Ohno) is still just as wrong.

I see, I misread. All my bad. Thought people were saying Hamelin knocked Ohno out. Give it a rest now, I was wrong.

You would have to be a complete idiot to actually believe this if you watch the replays. Seriously go watch them.

Nobody has EVER claimed this. You misread all the conversations.

The US really has nothing to complain about; they're leading the charge.

I'm a happy camper:D
