Yeah but that was a judging controversy...you can't tell how well the Russian girl would have finished.... It's really sad though.
Well there'll be no re-run of the race...that's for sure now...too bad really I feel really horrible for both the women, and even more for the Russian girl cause it just wasn't her fault Perdita will be back you know it!
On a happier note - Alexander Despatie won a silver medal in 3m springboard diving YAY And our female cyclist won the gold medal in sprint . It's nice to see things picking up .
I'm totally extatic now too because Gal Friedman, the Israeli "sailor" - it's windsurfing actually - in mistral class just won Israel's first ever gold medal at the Olympic games!!! MAN there will be a big party down there tonight
Oh...and Iraq's superstar run in soccer is almost over They were defeated 3:1 in the semis and will now play for the bronze. Gotta give them credit though those guys are the real dream team
13 golds and 53 total for russia so far... catch them yanks!
