Aparently he needed a score of 7 for his last and final shot to secure the gold and he made an awsome shot with a score of 8.1...
but on the wrong target.
I think the look on his face says it all.
If that was me I think Id cry on international TV. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
man that sucks!
also sucks is the greek bronze medalist who apparently had too much testosterone and so was disqualified and had to give back his medal.
Plus the story with the 3 suspended judges who messed up scoring and gave the american the gold over the 2 near perfect south koreans in gymnastics.
oh and lets not forget the greek judo competitor who through herself out a window and into the hopsital b/c she had an argument with her boyfirend over who could play solitare on the computer better of all things.
Oh well when the boy friend found he he was so distraught he threw himself out the same window.
grrr. this olympic season seems to be full of mishaps.

But it sucks for that guy. How was the field set up? Anyone have any pictures, I want to see if it was a terrible mistake.
Duhhhh

you mean aaron piersol winning the 200m backstroke getting DQ'ed for 'making an illegal turn' but then it got overturned because the judge didn't submit the DQ in english, and also when they talked to him afterwards he changed his story? I watched the turn, there was nothing wrong with it.

whats the difference betwwen that and the US/south korea issue?
Suppsoidly once a judge says something, they cant take it back?
lol what are you talking about? The chinese team has always been very good, the only one doing drugs is you apparently
It's pretty sad.
Right now on the mens gymnastics, mens high bar
Russian 12 time olympic medalist Alexi Nemov does almost perfect routine except for the landing.
He gets his score and the entire statdium boos at the judges, its been 10 min, and they are still booing. He got a score of 9.7 something.
Commerical break and back too still more booing.
Then what did the judges do?
Omg did they change the score?!?!?!!
I thought that once a judge passed scoring they could not change it, thats how the South korean guys got screwed out of the gold via the faulty scoreing.
Now the American Paul Hamm goes and preforms very well but not as good as the russian imo, (and lots of fans too) now the judges give him a 9.8.
The boo-ing is starting up again. Even the commentators for the US are still like WTH!?!?! Are the judges doing!
Where the hell do they get these judges. AHHHH
Yeah, there are some good looking gals on the USA women's team.. like that short-haired redhead. mmm hmmm.
I mean, two guys go out and do absolutely stunning routines with insane and new moves, and they get the same score as two guys who did less difficult routines and kinda messed up too? And the winner didn't even have that impressive a go - it was solid, but he didn't do anything special?
ARRRRGHHHHHH >B( I thought the Olympic motto was "Higher, faster, stronger" D:

Don't you find that kind of sad that you look at the USA Women's Volleyball team? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Sad? yes.
Do I care? No.
A few of the gymnastics women aren't too bad, either. Well, they're all a bit short for my tastes. I thought that one russian chick must have been at least 6foot to have that much of height difference against the other girls, but no.. she is only 5'5".. the rest of the girls are like 4'9" or so. And that's just weird.
And in the whole Paul Hamm thing. I was disgusted with crowd. I started yelling at my tv when the crowd started booing him. I was shocked that people would do something like that. He had no decision over what the judges gave people and the fact that they blame him for "stealing" the medal from the korean is just wrong.
