THE eight badminton players at the centre of allegations of throwing matches have been disqualified from the Olympics.

Good. It also means the Australian team (who were knocked out earlier in the day) have been recalled to play in a semi final now.

Isn't he the guy who bragged on twitter about how he was going to win and then... his relay team lost?

...and he has lost again in his best event.

Give the guy a break... only 0.01 seconds in it. But seriously, Aussies just can't seem to pull off a gold! We're down to 15th now.

I don't think the Australian team's last minute prep has been as good as it could be.

watup chinese nationalist

also my hypothesis is that all the chinese athletes are on drugs developed by some communist chinese superlab, can't wait in 10 years when China get's stripped of all it's medals

Because it's not like Steph Rice got 8 seconds off her 2007 World Championship time in the Olympics in 2008, and ending up smashing the world record before that by 2 seconds?

from Sydney Morning Herald

Britain's Eilish McColgan has been declared fit to compete in the 3000m steeplechase at the London Olympics, despite being hit by a car on a training run.

I read that and was like... WHATTT!

No you didn't.

That is too be expected though.

 

[Dr_Fresh]

yes i did

 

[soloooooo]

Magnussen didn't tank it. If you really did have inside info for the race (unlikely) you would have put more than 20 on it.

Only a mug wages on an individual anyway.

It is possible to get inside info on some sports, no denying that.

u sound mad.

I don't particularly like Magnussen although I am not mad. I guarantee I know a lot more about sports investing than you do.
