Where's Wellwood Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Cried after the infamous US vs Canada semi, but only out of frustration and anger at the injustice of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yes I'm petty. I think every time Hope Solo has the ball in the Gold Medal game the Japanese team should be counting in front of the refs. Turnabout is fair play right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm pretty sure I was dehydrated for all 17 days of the Vancouver Olympics. Couldn't believe how I was crying over sports like skeleton that I knew nothing about. And yesterday I got teary over Carol Huynh's bronze medal. Had to find a rule book to fully understand the whole "blue balls" thing but was emotional nonetheless. Guess that's the beauty of sport - you don't need to know it, u just gotta love it!

avelanch Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Watching synchronized swimming. it never fails to impress me how they can take a bunch of girls ranging from average to hot and make them look like the most unattractive girls in the world.

avelanch Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think the whole crowd should count aloud as well. If a bunch of fans started putting up red flags, do you think the ref would follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SISU Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 i definitely cried at the end of the 2010 Olympics while watching Mark Donnelly singing O Canada while they played highlights from the games. That was such a memorable 2 weeks. And this pic makes me teary eyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_hope Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 So Verbeek with a chance to get Canada's second gold.. but she is against a very tough opponent. Here is what wiki says: Saori Yoshida (吉田 沙保里 Yoshida Saori?, born October 5, 1982 in Tsu, Mie, Japan) is a wrestler who won the gold medal in the Women's Freestyle 55 kg at both the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2008 Summer Olympics. Since her debut in 2002, she has won every world- and international-level tournament she has entered. In September 2006, she surpassed a 100-match winning streak. Until January 20th, 2008, Yoshida had never lost an international match at the Senior level and held a streak of 119 consecutive victories, when American Marcie Van Dusen defeated her, 2–0 during the Team World Cup series in Beijing, China. Yoshida's 58-match win streak was snapped on 27 May 2012, when she lost to Russian Valeria Zholobova at the World Cup in Tokyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Silver! It's all good. An Olympic medal is an Olympic medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_hope Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Valiant effort by Verbeek but the Japanese just dominates women's wrestling. Still, good job on the silver! And Meaghan over rotates on her first dive.. comes back with a decent second dive but is still in 11th, while Filion is in 7th.. still 3 dives left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
