Oh, I'll tell you what I want what I really really want.
Give me a moment to think about what I really really want.
I'm pretty sure I don't wanna be your lover though...so we can take that out of the list of options.

By the way, there don't seem to have been many athletics world records this time around - I wonder why.

Its been the trend in recent games. Better drug-testing!

Is it true that NBC doesn't show some important events like 100 meter final, because they "doesn't fit american audience"?

...cool,and the swiss guys (un-)checking the length of the hammer throws probably robbed Betty Heidler a medal.
what a farce.
Edit : now they´re checking the length with the good old rope...´cause they´ve found an unverified one in their system.
respect.
Edit 2 : now she´s ranked after the competition on rank 3.
that´s true olympic spirit.

Quite bizarre,the system checking those lenghts failed with scoring Heidlers 5th attempt correctly.
It was clearly seen on the screen that this attempt was over 75m...the board showed 72somewhat m.
After a certain time of complete confusion they figured out that they´ve stored a length which at first couldn´t be scored to her exactly.
Therefore they used that rope like in former times after the competition.
The 5th attempt has been scored finally with 77 somewhat m and the bronze medal.
Really fair.
That girl was happy...
Edit : protest by China,because their athlete dropped to 4th place...understandable.

I wasn't aware of the new rules in Boxing.It's the guy who don't fight who win ?
Pitiful referees yesterday night and some days ago...
Mazaheri (Iran) should have been the winner
Savon (Cuba) should have been the winner
Oubaali and Vastine (France) same as above
I'm really
You are correct.
I no longer follow boxing. I havent folowing it since "that one fight"... "years ago"... "which disgusted me away from the rigged BS nature at the heart of it"...
but I have peeked in on this Olympics boxing a couple of time this year, just to see whats up... and every time the commentators themselves were ranting about how rigged it was... no kidding.... every time I switched over to boxing, the guys themselves were complaining that something was wrong... rules had been changed.... payoffs may have been made.... boxers who were knocked down several times wininng bogus matches... they were admitting that it seemed rigged.... so I turned it off and did not go back..... I did not even bother to make a post about it, in an effort to keep this thread on a positive track, but being it was brought up.... Yeah boxing is as rigged as it gets.... and facts be known, I no longer trust ANY event that is "judged".
There are now just too many proven/admitted examples of rigged jurys in history. imuho, if it is not won on the track, field, court, water, pitch, table,etc etc... then it was probably rigged... and you can trust me, this is not sour grapes, facts be known I have been of the happy/"winning" end of it more times than not (but there is no glory in "winning" like that) Fk judged sporting events, they are nothing but glorified beauty contests.
