Quote :

For 10 solid minutes, the crowd booed and whistled, creating a deafening roar. Hamm, the all-around champion, was forced to sit around and wait, unable to start his routine because of the din.

i agree the booing sucked as well as the scoring(IMO) but they shouldve left it the way it was scored.

Hamm is being treated like [-peep-] for no reason. And the Russian girl is a little [-peep-] too for her bitching. Saying that she got a silver because she's not an american.

Boo [-peep-] Hoo.

I watched that tonight. The booing was completely called for. Those 2 judges totally screwed that guy out of a proper score. No one was booing Hamm, he was only forced to wait because he was to go directly after the guy who got screwed.

And also what about Yang? Perhaps he was so much influenced by all the commotion that he completely fooked up his routine.

What a fu*ked up comment ... even from you. Boorish, bounderish crowd behavior is never appropriate in an Olympic event. It was an anti-American demonstration from a uneducated mob ...

I thought the protests were against the judges after the marking of Alexei Nemov. Unfortunately, Hamm was up next and this delayed his routine. Don't think it was aimed at him.

The guy that really needs to be taken out back and beaten is our boxer, Estrada. Can't believe he said what he said. What a chump. Should have stayed at home and made way for somebody who's going to try.

Quote :

But Estrada fought passively, admitting later that he never pursued Nunez because he figured he would lose anyway and didn't want to take any more punishment.

"If I'm going to lose I'm going to lose getting hit as little as possible," Estrada said. "I'd rather not get hit at all. This is just one part of my life, I've got a lot more to go."

Hardly a winning attitude. Even if you're losing you still have a chance to land a sucker punch and floor your opponent.

What a tosser. Maybe he should have entered a competition more suited to him. Like women's syncronised swimming. He'd fit in perfectly, the big girl.

Hope he gets a warm welcome at the airport, he deserves it.

Tell me about it. We sent one boxer, and he's only 17. We sucked at swimming, and our big big hope for the marathon, Paula Radcliffe pulled up with 3 miles to go.

Still, did I mention we beat the Canadians in the rowing? :evil:
