Highlight - Saori Yoshida winning gold in wrestling, and in taekwondo, the Cuban kicking the referee in the face for comical/shock value.

Lowlight - "One world, one dream", peace, love, respect and all that good stuff that the games seem to promote, just a stupid facade to protect the reality…

Congrats to South Korea, could have gone either way in the end, but a great game!

How can someone hate Japan so much, I don't understand!

Perhaps these feelings have something to do with historical war events (that I won't go into here)... or else I don't really understand either.

In any case, despite the loss, I thought Japan actually played reasonably well, and created some…

The Japanese shouldn't clap in elation when other teams drop or don't pass on their batons

Like I said, it's unfortunate but them's the breaks. The baton change is all part of the event, if you can't pass it on quick enough, or drop it, then too bad. You should…

I really feel sorry for the US team, or really any team that bows out because of a poor baton change, but them's the breaks. Grats to the Japanese team for making it through, but those Jamaican juggernauts are going to be difficult to deny...

I think that just shows the massive gulf in ability between the two

No, the scoreboard shows the difference in ability. Her comments show that she is an arrogant cow. Anyway, I agree with your other points, the media has definately made her up to be something that she…

Err, there was an article written in English linked in another thread you wrote in. But now you don't need to read it, i've summarized it for you! Hooray.

Hey wait a second, admirable loser? Is that a typo, and you meant pitiful loser?

No. I feel she handled the defeat quite well in this game and had much respect for her opposition. However if you're going to sling around personal comments, why stop at Ai? Zhangs comments after…

chibaman, too many comments on the admirable loser and not enough on the arrogant winner.
