  Yeah, Dong Dong was in utter shock... it's been reported in various other media, but screw him. If he's not content with what he deserved, he doesn't deserve it.

  As to the Japanese athlete... sorry, mean. Fourth is the loneliest position you can get. Better luck next time.

  "Hoshino’s team, which squeaked by Canada 1-0 on Monday..."

  Now THAT's more like it! I think they can say they 'mowed down' China and it wouldn't be far off.

  Anyway, Japan's still got a chance, though I doubt they'll pull it off. Korea is PERFECT so far (which must make…

  People like boobug are just on here stirring up trouble for fun. Seriously, if the US were winning all the judged sports and someone suggested it was because of bribery, etc., he'd be jumping up and down with steam coming out of his ears, saying how unfair timed events are.…

  What Russia is doing is atrocious, and inexcusable, but it's funny to watch the one or two remaining bush supporters on this site jump in and start saying how terrible Russia is, forgetting that the US has been and is doing the exact same thing in many different places. Putin…

  As I said before... there have been injuries and disappointments with every country, in every event. It's always said, and it HAS to suck to work so hard and wait so long, but them's the breaks. Chin up, my friend, and work hard for the next time.

  I wonder about the people who actually voted 'yes', that they thought the Olympics would 'bring change' to China.

  Must have been an awful experience, despite the Japanese camera lady claiming it was a 'cake-walk' and being unable to figure out what all the fuss was. I hope this guy has found something better where he is now.

  Well, it WAS a good game, in the first half, but part-way through the second those Americans just 'mowed' down the Japanese players. Still, they did far better than the men; in fact, the women have dominated the men in just about EVERY sport... guess the Japanese women are just…

  No kidding, eh! Like the 'Japan's pitcher Naruse MOWES DOWN Canada' crap! They never just win, they DESTROY!

  Admittedly, though, in this case, they did do a hell of a lot more damage than the men did. They played very well. The Canadians blew it when they lost their first…

  Now that Judo's done, Japan is out of medals.... they won't get one in baseball, though they might hit bronze in softball. That's about it, really.
