Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not really a big surprise, can't stand Russians.. Someone feed her some Vodka to shut her up. I've had the misfortune of being in the close company of Russians when on holiday in places like Sri Lanka and Hainan Island; they are very arrogant people.

kurtsimonw Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah, my expereriences of Russians on holiday aren't good either, seem to think they own the place. No manners at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Russia in the media just reeks of corruption, unscrupulousness and arrogance. Also, now that the table tennis events are over, the table tennis arena will cease to be the Olympics' Little Beijing. Thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Bolt vs Blake in the 200m final then. Could possibly be the race of the games. Blake stormed out of the blocks and slowed down to almost a walk as he won his semi. Bolt jogged around and won his semi in a slower time than Blake but didnt look to be trying anywhere near as hard. I predict a ridiculously fast time in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 clarke did brilliant to get 4th there, but **** hell it doesnt half annoy me when the commentators say the likes of "finishing 4th is as good as getting a gold for clarke" they did it last night too "with chris hoy around silver is the equivalent of gold" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Absolute fix there in the boxing. Judges had decided before that there was only one winner. Sometimes boxing really does let itself down with obvious bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 When Nick Skelton says he definitely going to Rio, does that mean he's going to try and qualify ? Or will he have some sort of exemption ? Do gold medalists automatically qualify to defend their medal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do gold medalists automatically qualify to defend their medal ? He has to qualify and earn his place in Rio De Janeiro 2016. There is no direct entry for gold medal winners.
