Olympics '08: Liu Xiang Pulls Out

[ZhangtheGreat]

I'd like to see anyone calling him a wuss try to push off with full strength on an injured Achilles and tell me if you can stand the pain.

[siliconsurf]

is he still alive?

[hengyeecheeng]

jealous people will speak everything insane in their mine...

u idiot jianghuabackalive...

zip ur mouth and watch china to rise in the world...

[safehaven11]

I cried when Liu Xiang pulled out.

[siliconsurf]

@safehaven11 you can cry to my cock

[nightowl0721]

that's if you have the ability to do so....if not, your words are as empty as your brain.....commenting on youtube is not getting you anywhere

[nightowl0721]

spitting on the communist party?? then why are you disrespecting liu xiang?? he is an individual, not the communist party

[nightowl0721]

how come i don't see you in the olympics?

[nightowl0721]

Liu Xiang is still the best in my heart!!!

[xiahouyuans]

man there is no way to express how mad, angry, and sad lui xiang feels when he was all ready and shit and that happens like wtf

[LiuXiangLiuXiang]

thats sucks

[jigglyfidda125]

liu do the 100m and be the 1st white skinned man to break under 10 seconds

[brian4480]

Patrick Johnson ran a 9.93 and he is half white half aberiginy (i dont know how to spell it sorry)

[regency08]

isn't this as tragic as tayson gay pulling out too? these athletes are great...they made it to the olympics..but remember they are human beings...i hope to see them at the 2012 olympics. this year at bejing was awesome!

[edersiomoran]

Im tired of seeing and hearing that Liu "dissapointed" or "betrayed" his people. He didnt dissapoint anybody. He still is a great athlete. Anyone who thinks like that is a total asshole and doesnt know anything about standing on the track and going all out. If his government treats him like this just because of an injury... maybe liu should reconsider changing countries. I hope him the best and that he gets back in shape.

[siliconsurf]

@edersiomoran he's a fucking coward

[sk84urlife18]

liu shang?wtf its liu xiang, to make it easier "lyoo shyang". and he made it the olympics in his home country, and he has all those medals from previous races, isnt that good enough? people need to stop dissing liu xiang at least he showed up.

[llamapoop123]

it's not "shang" it's "xiang"...anyway, why does it matter if liu xiang pulled out or not, i mean his record achievement should be enough to satisfy the chinese people and government. Behind it all, every one of the runners is a hardworking athlete, and looking up to anyone of them doesn't mean ur the follower of some political agenda or something.

[trickay444]

BULLSHIT

[mytimeiscoming]

well, at least he wasn't the only dissapointment, Terrence Trammel (110m hurdles silver medalist from Athens) also pulled out of the competition after jumping the first two hurdles. So, I guess we can say that things went well for Robles :)

[babbar187]

pressure probably got to him.

[joyiloveparislol]

liu xiang will still rock no matter whatt

[siliconsurf]

@joyiloveparislol he sucks shit

[naofumi]

i like chicken nuggets

[xModusPwnensx]

Also, on a personal side note, Don't you ever dare call me a brainwashed follower of commie propoganda. Just becuase you are so bent on the how china sucks and just because i dont agree with you doesnt automatically make me a commie supporter. You walk the streets and everyone treats you like royalty, but I walk the streets and blend in seamlessly. I don't feel any more privileged You also have yet to provide any links to websites, I don't claim to know much but I am not closed minded to learn.

[xModusPwnensx]

Robles* beacuse thats bullshit too. Theres no way to know until they race each other, and even then, they are far too close in ability to declare one outright better than the other. If it is your opinion that Robles is better than liu, thats fine, but you need to stop stating it as outright fact. I am sorely dissapointed in the 110 finals beacuse I was hoping David Oliver would have been better competition. Thats why I was dissapointed at Trammell DNF.

[xModusPwnensx]

If you aren't the one starting the conversation of politcs and sports then lets get back on the topic at hand. You still didnt answer my question of why you think robles is better than liu. Yea, Robles is a awesome hurdler. to say his better than liu is baseless. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't think you know anything about hurdling except that who gets first place must be the better hurdler. I hate it when I hear that if liu were in the finals he would have beaten roblies.

[xModusPwnensx]

I don't give two shits about China's politial situation. I just think that your opinion of Liu is biased because of your opinion on China. You can preach about how terrible they treat their citizens and what not. You say that China's media makes all sorts of media coverage about him and hints of him winning the gold. Well, duh, who the hell wants to make a ad or comercial of him losing?

[Adamanted]

palladiomc, this is YouTube, not CNN, 'kay?

[palladiomc]

why dont u go through all the comment pages before blaming on me? i wasnt the one starting this conversation on politics vs. sports.

[Adamanted]

I did, and it seemed like you brought in the whole politics thing first. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't want to have an argument with you so... chill and listen to some jazz or something. =D

[palladiomc]

the reporter is not random, her name is Rina Dong, one of the most well-known sport reporters in China.

[palladiomc]

and to say, whether a gov't is responsible depends on how it treats its own citizens not aliens. The harshness of US foreign policies is mainly to do with energy security what benefit domestic industries and oil supplies. Both McCain and Obama focus on this and support the war for this matter and thats how they get the support from the voters. But look at China on the other hand, as a foreigner i enjoy huge amount of privileges, even at times freedom of speech, which the locals can never have.

[palladiomc]

The no.1 American propaganda machine, Voice of America, is banned from broadcasting in the US by federal law for the fear of brainwashing us citizens and has been ruled unconstitutional. By comparison, chinese ppl, despite being active thinkers, are deprived of the right to access anything but gov't media or voice their opinions. Lawyers have even been arrested for speaking out against legal injustice. Just look at the internet censorship if you cant afford freq trips to the Far East n you know

[palladiomc]

and talking abt propaganda, normally you have the option of choosing what you like to watch in the US or Europe. Everyone knows the nature of CNN and they have access to different opinions. Basically the freedom of speech so to speak. How many americans u think actually believed in those claims by the gov't? Not one that i know, (and i was residing in Seattle in 03).

[palladiomc]

and given that he just lost the bid to the IOC seat. Think its abt time for the gov't to relinquish the last hopes. Liu Xiang's name was not mentioned at all at yesterday's final. (both on CCTV and at the scene)

[palladiomc]

and so what, in a communist state, ppl show no respect to a fallen hero (even if he was one), as long as the gov't propaganda abandons him, trust me he will be forgotten by all chinese in no time.

[palladiomc]

Robles won yesterday's gold with 12.93s. Thats when the track was all wet and he didnt try hard (winning by a large margin + no sprint) But whatever, it proves that hes a good runner with stable performance. Liu should compete in the paralympics in Sept. Perhaps there he could achieve sth. xModuspwnensx, you are just a pathetic brainwashed follower of the communist propaganda.

[darkh77]

I think maybe some gambler had blackmailed LX if he loose the race,he will be shot/killed.The acting of pain is just to save his life..

[xModusPwnensx]

Also, in regards to some random nobody reporter explicitly saying that liu ran 12.80, well, i remember G. Dub Bush explicitly saying that Iraq had stockpliles of Weapons of Mass destruction. Opps. All countries piss propaganda to the people. Fox News is pure biased republican bullshit, bent on scaring who ever watches, and this is coming from someone who grew up in a republican household. why pick on China for hyping up some athlete and giving some people something to be proud of?

[xModusPwnensx]

May I also ask why you feel that robles is far better than Liu? In regards to learning about lius technique, what exactly did you learn in comparison to Robles? Liu is actually an amzing runner, fyi, and funny you should mention the chinese being better at technique, like in other sports, becuase the 110 hurdles is perhaps the most technical event in track and field, along with pole vault and discus. Saying that Robles is better than Liu is arbitrary.

[xModusPwnensx]

There used to be some bullshit article about how asians did not have the fast twitch muscles needed for the sprints. Anyways, is the media so bad? I think that he is def an inspiration and the chinese look up to him, and show that they have the capacity to be just as good as anyone else in the world. and why shouldnt they. I personally have not been on any chinese message boards, but i would love to be elightend by some if you would provide some links on how the "true" chinese people feel.

[xModusPwnensx]

Yea, I can agree with you the the Chinese Government would show a lot of media coverage on Liu and make him some sort of national hero, but is that really wrong? I duno about you, but for as long as I can remember, I've always been told that I shouldn't focus too much on sports because I could never beat black people and that I could never compete and their level and should just focus on school.

[palladiomc]

Fine i take back my saying that human cant achieve 12.80s. But for liu xiang i doubt. i was more angry towards the chinese media's boasting of things and gov't's coverup. Personally i think Liu Xiang is a fine athlete but think Robles is far better. (especially after learning Liu's hurdling technique) Liu is not that good a runner. Chinese are better at techniques, like in other sports.

[palladiomc]

and also, see for urself, Liu said himself after the incident that he was able to run 12.9x during the testing phase, not 12.80s, as stated explicitly by the CCTV reporter.

[palladiomc]

and by chinese i dont mean the gov't. I refer to the opinion of ordinary citizens. Check some uncensored chinese forums and find out yourself.

[palladiomc]

But now all attempts are foiled, they are trying their best to save some face but removing all negative opinions from the people about Liu Xiang's withdrawal. This is why you wouldnt see anything negative on chinese major websites. But you will get a better idea of what the chinese ppl think if you talk to more of them and go on to popular discussion boards. Liu Xiang is a hero of the chinese ppl therefore whether he should be criticized is up to the chinese to decide...

[palladiomc]

Not so much about losing a gold (given the general support given to another 110m hurdler Shi Dongpeng when he failed to make it to the final yesterday, for his efforts of trying) but for the feeling of succumbing their biggest hope for summer 08. If you watch chinese TV a lot, you must know how much media coverage the gov't has given to Liu Xiang promoting him to an almost infallible national hero.

[palladiomc]

xModusPwnensx, i dunno your background but i have access to all stadiums of the Beijing games through connection. all of CCTV channels kept on playing TV commericals with Lu Xiang winning (or hints of him winning). Not until yesterday have they starting removing/replacing these ads from the TV. unfortunately I wasnt at the scene when Liu Xiang withdrew but all the locals i know are very very disappointed at this incident.

[LGelvin]

copy from a person who have reasonable point~not there to said shit or good thing abt him~

关键争执的因该就俩点..

一,为什么赛前 任何渠道.甚至刘翔的教练 和他老爹都说伤没事.前几天还跑过12秒9X左右的成绩呢..

如果这是真的,那今天比赛不是忽悠 全国人民了..

如果是假的,那也太草蛋了.受伤的都快不能走了了还说人家快破记­录..让大家继续 关注他,

二,刘翔以这种方式腿赛,很多人接受不了...

如果刘翔是真的受伤 的话,那我门因该理解,前面已经有人说了.跨栏的规则,那些让刘­翔继续带伤跑完的.完全就是一 满嘴喷粪的

说实在的,我门都支持刘翔,就是第一点.我有点无法接受.感觉纯­粹就是忽悠 我门.如果都伤的这么严重了,医生肯定能判断出来能否参赛..还­一个劲的吹!

These r the reason y we hate him..~~

[xModusPwnensx]

After rereading all my comments, I wish it wasnt so late and/or there was spell check on my laptop to correct all my spelling errors.

[xModusPwnensx]

@ pallidiomc: Any soruces at why its highly unlikely that a human being would be able to run 12.80? People used to think that a sub 4minute mile was impossible, but it's now the standard for any professional Miler.

I think I am done posting for the night.

[xModusPwnensx]

@whoever said Liu will be out of his prime by the next olympics; That was probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. Most hurdlers are at their prime at the age of 28. (Allen Johnson is 37 and has been hurdling consiently well for more over than 10 years) If i recall correctly, liu won the gold when he was 21, and is now 25. He will still be a major threat come London, especially with all the advancements in sports medicine, his injury shouldn't be an issue.

[xModusPwnensx]

@ whoever is talking about the opening ceremonies and lip syncing and whatever; what does it have anything to do with Liu or Track and Field?

@ pallidiomc: Funny story, While I was in Beijing the only thing I ever saw over and over again was Liu pulling out,the same clip from differnt angles, over, and over, and over again,what channel were you watching?

Oh, btw I meant American born Chinese in the above post.

[xModusPwnensx]

Even if he was injured beforehand, no real athlete would use that as an excuse to not try and compete, hence him coming to the stadium and such and such.

As a current 110m and 400m hurdler for a NCAA division I collegiate program, a Chinese born American, as well as someone who was at the Bird's nest watching the prelims and watching Liu DNF, (as well as Trammell DNF in the third heat)I think I am giving a pretty unbiased account of what happened.

[xModusPwnensx]

@ decoyflag:

I think he knew he was injured. Heck I knew; I read a blurb somewhere about two weeks before the games started, though It said it was his hamstring, not his foot. Need more proof? Try to find some footage of him entering the stadium. When he was being cheered on by the entire stadium when he entered, he did not embrace his crowd, not even so much as a hand wave, and this is an athlete who usually relishes in being a star.

[decoyflag]

lol if he knew he was injured that bad he wouldn't have come into the stadium in the first place for such a see-through act.

i feel sry for those China people who pay so much man to see some guy limp off man

[yandimyandim]

why these assholes are not putting video of his pullout? Why the fuck are putting pics and nigger girl talking? I fucking couldnt find video when he pulls out.fuck fuck fuck

[zhonglingliuchang]

I am a chinese~what we love is the person not the medal. He is always the best. His injury is very serious otherwise he will never quit~hope he will be better soon~

[NBT131313]

That blows, I was hoping Liu could run this way but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

[goushixiong]

I am a Chinese，and I was so ashamed and disappointed to say anything about him.

[isagred]

I think it is a smart way for him.But more people can not agree with me.Liu has too much pressure.But maybe it is no good for him

[chawuciren5781]

now chese are wondering if liu is really injured . some say nike is worried that he can't win so nike prevents him from taking part in the game. what about your oppinion?

[palladiomc]

do ppl have any idea how much hope many ordinary chinese ppl had on their no.1 national hero Liu Xiang? The LX t&f tickets of face value 1000 RMB were sold for 2000 USD on the black market and still highly sought after... Look at how pissed off ppl were when Beckham was injured, 100x that and u gottan idea. C'mon try to understand the chinese ppl before u comment on this incident.

[AsianFuse]

BUT, think of this way, a singer who went to their concert with a sore throat, would you go force them to continue on? If you were a fan, you would wish for their quick recovery above all right?

Then also, why is ppl bringing up Yao Ming? I'm not a fan or supporter of his, but what does he have to do with this? Are you in any way discriminating?

[AsianFuse]

He even missed the openning ceremony just to recover, but he still can't make it in the end. I don't understand why some "supposed" supporters of his would go on tv and say something like "he should at least run the whole thing because i went out of my way to go see this." I understand why you are upset. I would too, if I were in their shoes.

[AsianFuse]

There's alot of things in the back that you don't know and have not experienced. So how can you say that Liu Xiang's injury was just a setup. The Beijing Olympics is almost what all Chinese Athletes wants to participate in. Liu Xiang could have just not went into the stadium, but he went in because he thought that he could do it, that he could race, but it just appears that his body won't let him. That's nothing he can do about.

[syzws]

so many fake "i support liuxiang" videos just popped up in utube like mushrooms over night.

liu's pull out must be a setup.

i long have this feelings you just can't trust liu xiang and yao ming these two bastards.

houston rockets will be much better off without that freak.

[FrACt05]

Who's the person experiencing the injury? You, the media or Liu Xiang? I believe I know the answer to that, let him do what he wants.

[hcn9]

wtf has liu xiang got to do wiv yao ming? u stupid fuck

[palladiomc]

Btw i live in China 6 months a year so dont comment on my knowledge.

[hcn9]

palladiomc, ur just a stupid prick. dont lie u aint been to china. why go to a country where u have no respect for? go suck on gordon browns dick. fool

[palladiomc]

who cares how many medals china wins this summer. The soviets won 55 and east germany 37, comparing America's 34 in 1988. (the last games prior to the collapse of the bloc) But look at them now..... commie spirits kill the natural instincts and basic values of human beings. I was saying b4 the game, even if china wins 100 golds this time, it still doesnt show that its not a country with no public sport facilities in local communities at affordable costs.

[palladiomc]

Whatever, its the same kinda bullshit chinese media have been using to brainwash its ppl and cheating the rest of the world. Btw now they r still showing the many ads with scenes showing liu xiang winning the gold medal, what a shame.

[palladiomc]

thats comparing to the 12.87 WR set by Dayron Robles. So the hidden msg is sth like: even if Robles wins the final at his record time (or better), as long as he doesnt beat 12.80 (which is highly unlikely for human beings to achieve) the chinese media would say fine, you won because our liu xiang didnt compete but because u r better than our national hero, u should call ur lucky that he pulled out!

[palladiomc]

but not*

[palladiomc]

I dunno if his injury was that serious it wasnt mentioned in the media at all before the primary. I would understand if it was actually very serious and was simply converdup 'cause of all the commercial links he has with those big corps - 80% of the chinese olympic ads have got him in them. But what sickens me in the whole matter is the cctv reporter at the stadium liu xiang to have produced a record of 12.80 just days before the competition,

[joannakele1112]

Still love Liu Xiang,he is a hero.

[vincent3006]

Im european and what i read in the papers here i just cant believe. It's obvious some other western ppl are believing what the papers say even tho its total shit or way over exaggrated. Btw, anyone who said china only wins medals in pingpong, check the official site: beijing2008 com China only got TWO medals for pingpong.

[s33thr3w]

wow most of the ppl commenting are just stupid... you guys don't care about the olympics so don't even bother commenting. don't see me commenting on random ballet videos.

[AlexKing0511]

His press is so heavy

[jtalbot01]

he was the one who false started tool..

[FrACt05]

China's star already didn't participate and then they come up with him pretending the whole scene.

So he needed to worsen his injury just to proof his injury to be true? What a world we live in.

[laputaboy2012]

evidence plz?

[FrACt05]

Where's your proof that he wasn't injured that time? Or is it just another assumption?

[takadi]

You can't prove a negative dumbfuck

[FrACt05]

A medical examination that shows he's clean from any injuries would prove my previous reply.

Did you examine him smartass? Do you have his medical records? No? Then stop commenting.

You want me to rephrase my question? Proof me that he was pretending, here's your positive...

[bamboobaba]

Love Liu Xiang

[r1ckyl33]

liu xiang hope u get better soon. China =] 40 gold medals, it would of been 41 if liu xiang wasnt injured :P

[murocks92]

liu xiang is the best hurdler in the world. you western bastards can keep u dam lies to urself because u cant deny it.

[quetou]

He's not the best this year that is for sure. he was the best in 2004. You commie bastards probably put too much pressure on him. You made him a God and he couldn't deliver. he made 23 million in commercial only to go home with nothing!

[syzws]

his pulling out is pretty fishy.

i never undetstood why china has to take a sport game so seriously. i personally don't give a damn how much medals we can get, even zero, so wat? who dare to really come up and get some?

it's not commie that sucks, it's genetic. and its primarily with those bastards living south of the great wall.

i can look into their eyes and see their souls, they are cheaters and cheap with back bones. Even Bush can do better.

[whatup2003]

Do you dare to come up and get some little twat? I dare your sorry white ass.

[casinochang]

HA, you are seriously a self-righteous, immature and arrogant freak. See into their souls? What are you, some slimy, sick soothsayer? Blame it on their genes, but any chinese athlete can easily outrun you. You have obviously no brains or determination, Bush-lover.

[casinochang]

this is directed at user sywzs.

[lujinyueee]

He could have quit the event in the first time, this is already clear enough to explain his injury is not FAKE

[lujinyueee]

This is ridiculous to say he was pretending.

See the first time he was trying to run which someone false started. Then he quited afterward because he knew he was not OK for the event. I bet the runner who false started cant be fake too rite? If he push himself that hard for it his injury may cause him unable to run in his entire life. Pls do not try to point out everything is fake in China, this is quite unfair to us, and to Liu Xiang.

[yinyii]

those hu says he suck..will be punished..he is really injured u know? anyhow say ppl better than say ur self la..u ppl also cannot do de olympic game n u ppl also dont no de 4 yearz hardwork tat he does..saddly, i think most of ur guz may wan 2 no how many awardz he had..BE PREPARED!!n i tell u tat CHINA already get 30+ GOLD liao..then ??

[user2130]

Heard that he also failed the drug test but cause he's China icon, no body dare to report and just submit with fake report. Not sure how true.

[khryl]

cant see the vid :(

sad about liu xiang though 4 years of training and an injury takes him out :(

could happen to any athlete but still so sad hearing of this

my sympathies to the guy and china

next olympics maybe he can join again... but he already did win a gold so... that was a testament of the hard work and talent he has

[Kingsta2000]

This must be the fakist Olympics ever. So determined were the Olympic hosts to project a positive image of a perfect China (bullshit). Officials even the used that adorable child-performer who was miming, not to mention the fake fireworks. Now we have the fiasco wihth Liu Xiang Pulling out. Cause he and the Chinese Officials knew, couldn't take the gold medal so wanted to save face.

[xxxlovexheartsxxx]

how do YOU know? how can you say something when it is not for certain. if you think the beijing olmpics are so crap then lets just sit back and watch london coz nothing's happening-better to be detemined i think

[angiepangie12]

obviously you've been brainwashed by the western media and sucked into this political bs. I'm sick of western countries nitpicking at everything we do or don't do. china didn't say they are 'perfect' however with entire world watching, which country doesn't want to portray a positive image??? LIU XIANG pulled out because of an injury, what part of that can't u comprehend? It could've happened to any athlete. How shallow to say such things!

[chinawanker]

劉翔輸不起, 臨陣退縮, 姚明在偷笑.

[tenchu1314]

diam la so hai!劉翔輸不起， 臨陣退縮??真是可笑！劉翔是因为有伤才退出的啊！你不知道就别­乱乱说啦！垃圾

[maori1010]

those fireworks actually happened!,

dae just had to do em electronically cause it was to dangerous to film them...

fair enough about da lip syncing thou, yea itsstink, but i mean...hu actually cares?

besides from dat lil chik, but she got recognition:)

GO NZXXD

[dirknorwitzki]

bullshit liuxiang , china gabage!!!

[RehMyz]

Hey now!Liuxiang's only human too. So what if he pulls out because of injury,there will always be next olympic ^.^

[ZhangtheGreat]

Boy, AP ought to disable comments on this video now. It's turning into a typical childish never-ending internet name-calling flame war.

[juutjuut123]

Why do u hire a coach from China to coach in Volleyball? Is this cheating too? Cheaters!

[Deekkkzz]

well said. lol

[juutjuut123]

Even the US "Profession" singers lip sync at their concert too! Yeah, what goes around comes around! hahaha...making such a big deal of this little thing...do you guys have better things to do? This is sport, no politics! What a pity, jealous of China getting the most gold. Can't win in the real competition and needs to try to steal it...how funny!

[juutjuut123]

Don't get mad. The only reasona why they pick on China is because they're scared that China will become one of the biggest and strongest country in the world. I don't see them picking on other smaller asian countries? :)

Liu Xiang, don't feel down. Just be patient. Wait til you are fully recovered, we'll all come out to support you again! No matter when or where! We love you! :)

[sulynsin]

I highly doubt just the events "ping pong" and "weightlifting" makes up 35 gold medals china has won.

[chinesez123]

its not just ping pong and weightlifting noob it was also other stuff Gymnastics they smacked that completly both men and lady team, Aquatics, Archery,Badminton, Fencing, Judo, Rowing, Shooting, Table tennis and Wrestling get you facts right and its 39 gold now not 35 jackass

[sulynsin]

hey piece of shit that's what i was saying. check your english dude. and mind you you replied waayyyy after i did. so yeah. it was 39 when you replied and 35 when i typed.

[cemson]

jealousness from the western, they are picky to china. Beijing now has no pollution issue.

[chinesez123]

oh them and there moanin about that with the pollution in china thats why chinas doing so gd

[ximetmongrut]

How do you know they cheated in gymnastics?I mean is there any REAL evidence? Like an article, bbc video or something I can trust? Or it's just a sore loser rumor?

[LacosTacosPacos]

i feel bad for him, and some of the chinese, but they cheat in gymnastics, and faked the opening ceremonies. What goes around comes around

[MudRat02]

Cheat at gymnastics and faked the opening ceremony? You're pathetic

[Deekkkzz]

wtf are you talking about? Cheat in gymnastic and ceremony are you fucking retarded? There was no evidence that we cheated or faked anything.

Dumb americans getting a bit too jealous over Chinese?

[LacosTacosPacos]

one of the chinese gymnasts is 13 instead of 16 the required age limit. The opening ceremony had fake fireworks and lip syncing. And im not an american you dumb chink, im canadian.

[DDavidDVD]

you are a disgrace to the canadians for saying all this. Honestly, just shut up and try to play the game, instep of talking trash to back up your incompetencies. Im a Canadian too and i felt ashame of our atheletes performances in Beijing..

[AnaheimSucksAss]

fagget we're not a strong summer olympic team, look at our winter team though you dyke.

[cabbagemintor]

Don't be. Canadians are great guys. Funding has a lot to do with it. The British poured millions into cycing, swimming and aquatic events. I am sooo bored with their hysteria.

[Platformer]

lol. "I-AM-CANADIAN"? i'd rather hear you say you weren't. now your stupidity just shamed Canada. boo-hoo. canada needed IMMIGRANTS to help win gold medals. you should really get out of your village and watch some real news.

everybody lip syncs. it's a way to avoid mistakes. what's wrong with that? and "fake fireworks"? how did you know that? cus so dumbass said so when he screwed your mother yesterday?

[chinesez123]

oh they lipsyncs boofuckinhoo ppl need to find better things to do like watch china kick americas ass with the golds lol

[bboykaysun]

WHAT IS UP WITH YOU?! CALLING US A "DUMB CHINK?!" The Olympics are supposed to be about unity among the countries, you little jerk! And if you wanna go at racial slurs, Canada's got a lot more coming at them than the Chinese! Yea, you heard me, you hockey-playing, maplesyrup-drinking, igloo-living, donut-dunking Canadian! Go wipe your own ass before you try to wipe ours!

[Deekkkzz]

get your fucking facts right dum ass. News reported that their was a mistake in the listing and that she was actually 13, which FIG and IOC had confirmed already DUM ASS and you should thank the immigrants for helping Canada win that gold medal.

Dum white cracker shit.

[cabbagemintor]

If she were l3, more power to her elbow! Fu Mingxia won double diving Gold at Barcelona at l3. Do you have a problem with that too. Tom Daley of Britain is l4. What were you doing at l3? Heck, what are you doing NOW!!! Probably unemployed.

[zurichsususu]

then go to hell, u canadian! are you the mother of that gymnast? how can you prove she is 13 not 16? american team can not win, who really cares about age?

[zurichsususu]

sorry about the harsh words...

[Deekkkzz]

plus dum ass.

just to let you know, all the judges that are judging at beijing are from all over the world and not chinese only. There's Canadians and American judges, judging in the gymnastic so are u saying the canadian judges helped China to cheat to win gold?

fucking dum ass.

[zurichsususu]

how much do you know about China? how much you know about the effort that Chinese people have made on the Olympic? You idiot! everything you know is from stupid US media!

[LacosTacosPacos]

i realize that they made a big effort, even far enough to cheat.

[sk84urlife18]

ur right, china has tried to lower the pollution in the air, theyve cleaned up the streets, theyve done everything to make there country better and to prove to everyone that we can manage our country, we can host the olympic games. im chinese american, both my parents are from china, and i am proud to be like that. i hate it when people diss both of my home countries. but u r right about the US media saying shit about chinas air.

[BigRed3117]

when he recovers

hes going to take back the world record.

see u guys in the 2012

where he will get gold once again.

[LacosTacosPacos]

oh please, he won 1 gold woop de doo. and idk 2012? thats along time 3 olympics hell be out of his prime.

[xshawnyxboyx]

liu xiang is a beast though. i think his injury is a result of training too hard. he has been a record holder for almost 3 years. i think he'll come back

[rebisdead]

I am so gutted that Liu Xiang was unable to compete. The Chinese nation had been waiting for this for 4 years; but at least they have 40 other gold medalists to console themselves with :)

[typhonsentra]

Yeah, but they only won in crap like Ping Pong and Weightlifting.

[cabbagemintor]

You try weightlifting yourself and see it is not so easy. A German weightlifter nearly truncated his own neck this afternoon at the heavyweight division. His arms went backwards under the weight and the bar went over his head and nearly came down on his neck!! Phew. I really enjoy watching those brave guys and dolls!!

[chinawanker]

劉翔輸不起, 臨陣退縮, 姚明在偷笑.

[SETAIL]

无需放屁污染环境，环保组织提醒您为了减少大气污染，请你少说点­话

[wtianjia]

刘翔真的是有病，不是退缩

[andthesunrises]

I agree. He has another chance at it. Nobody should criticize him for not running.

[vicz200]

if Liu Xiang was there... there is no way that america would won becuz he beat the shit out of them at Athens... he wiill succeed in the next olympics

[ecuzetamom]

u r an indiot

[AniphicProductionz]

Yanks can't run

[jakeyism]

Was this needed?

[CJumpman23]
