  The "big brother Olympics" being too controlling it seems. I was watching weightlifting and one guy had T-shirt under his lifting suit with a couple of words visible, one was "earth" Officials came running over and a put some masking tape across the words, disrupting his preparations to make the…

  Had Uchimura not messed on the pommel, he could have pushed for the gold. Great effort though and sheer brillance on the bar - just stunning. Tomita would have had a medal had he not screwed up, he just missed the bronze. That's how the cookie crumbles.

  last night when the 19yr old judoka won the bronze medal, she said she was very disappointed and that anything but gold isnt worth anything... i think this is very sad- Bronze is an amazing achievement and she should be very proud of how far she got.

  Lots of records went in this race. The World, Olympic and Americas record, the European record (to Cseh) the ASIAN and Japan Record to Matsuda and the Oceania record to Burmester of NZ in 4th equal. Burmester too like Matsuda would have truly cherished a bronze medal in such a…

  Come on people, it's not just Japan and not all Japanese athletes! One Japanese athlete is a sore loser and they all get tarred and feathered. There have been some pretty sore losers on display from all over the world. The US swimmer Hoff, the French Judoka who sat sulking…

  the biggest tragedy perhaps is the Japan will only run with 2 as they didn't submit the name of a reserve, which must be frustrating for the others as the competition for the 3 original spots as incredibly fierce and several great runners missed out.

  I like her a lot, she smiles and celebrates while still being humble and she is one kickass judoka. She was so dominant and never looked like losing, she owned the Frenchwoman in the final. I'd like to get pinned by her. Well done Ayumi! The 'real' Queen of Japanese…
