so u never know, they just mite re run it if there is enuff presure on teh officials |

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! :whip:
On a happier note - Alexander Despatie won a silver medal in 3m springboard diving YAY :D And our female cyclist won the gold medal in sprint :D:D:D. It's nice to see things picking up :D.
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!!! :D :D :D :D MAN there will be a big party down there tonight :p
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 :p |
