I'm watching the medal ceremony, right now on a Greek channel. Those whining, crying, bitching cunts from Brazil are still pissed they lost. The German girls came out first with smiles, laughing and the attitude their pleased to be there to pick up their medals! Next the Americans still celebrating! Then a big pause, here comes Brazil, pissed off, glares, and they look like their forced to be there. Their getting their right now, and most are acting like they don't give a shit! I have no idea what their so upset about? It's not like they were the defending champs!!

It's funny how the americans seem to own the olympic gold medal while germany hog the world cup. Priorities or just a funny coincidence? Great job at any rate.

True, the US team is without the best MLB players so the matchup will be slightly lopsided.

I wonder if they were nervous because they felt the jamaicans would be running in circles around them?

I find this new jamaican short sprint dominance extremely fishy.

I suppose they expected to blast the US team like they did against germany in the semis. Still no reason to sulk, they didn't play nearly as good as in the semifinals, so they have nobody but themselves to blame.

Matos banned for life after kicking referee following match
Associated Press

BEIJING -- A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after Angel Matos kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.

Cuban coach Leudis Gonzalez offered no apology for Matos' actions.

Matos was declared the loser for taking too much injury time after hurting his leg during the men's over-80 kg (176 pounds) match against Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.

"He was too strict," Gonzalez said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos.

Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out.

Matos won the gold medal in this division at the 2000 Sydney Games, dedicating the victory to his mother, who died on the day of the opening ceremony. At the 2004 Athens Games, he finished 11th.

Cha Dong-min of South Korea won the gold medal in the 80-kg class, defeating Greece's Alexandros Nikolaidis 5-4 in the final.

Matos' tantrum followed a day of confusion on the mats.

Earlier Saturday, China's double gold medalist Chen Zhong crashed out in the quarterfinals after initially being declared the winner.

It was the first time a match result had been overturned since taekwondo became an official Olympic sport in 1990.

What the Cuban did is just...insane! Isn't this kind of sport all about respecting the opponent and others? Not losing your mind like that and harming the innocent. What a shame...

Umm...no.

I was merely pointing out the pairing of Lewis and Page was a tad unusual and the choice of song was rather surreal...considering it was the closing of the Olympics

Hmmm..Lewis, Page, Beckham..a double decker bus...

almost seems like some sort of trend or thread running thru all of that.

Oh well, escapes me
