chinese athletes questioned; ok because that's never happened before

From article linked above;

Ye was put on the spot after leading British media pounced on her performances, pointing to China's record of state-sponsored doping in the 1980s and 1990s.

Not sure about this one. Either she just saved all of her energy until the very last lap and just beasted it or she probs did take some sort of substances....

:/

Andrew Hoy is a boss and his 9yr old is looking amazing. Keen for the show jumping tonight!

Yeah, i don't know if legit either. Admittedly Ryan Lochte would have slowed a bit considering he was 4 seconds ahead, but its still a freakishly quick time.

So the big question is.... Can 'The Missile' win the mens 100m freestyle? What do you think?

I think yes. I reckon he'll be so pissed off with everyone he'll go nuts and get the WR.

Same. I am disappointed that Kim Jong-un chose to not compete as an Olympian however.

Yes he is, but since then he has qualified fastest for the final. (lol, guess that doesn't mean anything, cause the aussies qualified fastest for the final relay that they lost!)

Go glorious North Korea

Disgusting behavior and sportsmanship; http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...eans-try-to-lose/story-fn9dirj0-1226440181907

Those 4 teams (1 x Chinese, 2 x South Korean, 1 x Indonesian) who all tried to match fix and lose their badminton matches should be disqualified and thrown out of the Olympics.

 

[umm what]

fuck man! CHina sends her entire population to Olympics, no I wonder why they are at the top
