We did talk about the Argentina game ;o Although it was only like (edit) 5 messages lol

[Akiyama]

Oh. Hrm. Must've missed it in all of the underage gymnast posts.

[Kang]

Good stuff Tyche.

Watching Argentina vs Nigeria (edit: soccer final)... I have never seen a break in the middle of a match like they're having right now :O

Apparently it's because of the heat...

I wish we had rings like trees, like in our bones or something equally ridiculous. '-'; But no, humans suck and there's no definitive way to test a person's age. It's really pathetic China is so gay hard about gymnastics to do this, and it's even more pathetic that they will get away with it because arbitrary BG posters are more competent than the IOC, FIG, or the FIG's judges.

That's what I had in mind when I made my post, but yeah >_> I bet there is method to tell someone age, but there is probably a large incertitude on them.

As much as I hate china for doing this, I feel bad for the young girl who is stuck with this. Medal removed or not, she is going to be stuck with this lie for the rest of her life probably, which isn't something any kid should have to deal with. If her medal is removed, there is a good chance her career is going to be destroyed by this

At least, she will be able to legally buy alcohol 2 years earlier...unless alcohol is illegal in china >_>

You'd think they could figure it out from school records, but maybe China's school is much different than the U.S.

OMG the final for Baseball was awesome... talk about pulling a win at the last second...

[chellebell]

US vs. Spain for Basketball gold......... lawls

I don't know... they probably do gymnastics all day every day and even if they do go to school, probably some government controlled athletes-onry school anyway.

Saw the soccer gold game last night. Stupid Nigerian keeper came out of the net and allowed Di Maria to easily score with a lob over his head. Good game though.

I'm guessing no one watched the Taekwondo fight with Cuba's Angel Matos kicking the ref in the face?

[Chubbs]

I just now watched it on the NBC website, regardless of whether the call was fair or not you just don't attack an official in any way. I'm not surprised by his ban from the olympics and I also agree that his coach should be banned to for his unapologetic tone. They're lucky the only punishment is being banned.

[Sythe]

Besides the kick to the face which was way over the line, whats up with TKD in general. Now i see why they don't broadcast it on T.V. State and City championships I've been to have been more exciting.

Here's a photo vid for it for those who haven't seen it yet (straight up vids on youtube are being taken down because of copyright issues, seems to happen for stuff that is fresh).

Personally, I think the ref deserves what he got cuz the taekwondo refs have been kinda biased during the olympics. They screwed over a Canadian already.

Just think of this as some personal payback for all of us fed up with th corrupt ways of the IOC and their cronies at these games (hello gymnastic judges!).

Just saw the marathon finale. Was a good race.

The last event is the men's basketball final?

[octopus]

The Chinese diver just got pwned at the end ;o

[Kyo]

Fuckin ref deserved the kick to the face. Men's basketball at 230 am est, lets guu GOLD!

[Xerlic]

China just got denied their sweep. Zhou Luxin really dropped the ball on his very last dive.

[Kang]

Yep, they didn't win the 8th diving gold. Ugh 2:30 am start >.<

[Roranora]

The last event is the men's basketball final?

Gold medal match in Men's Volleyball.. Bronze/Gold medal games in Men's Basketball and Men's Team Handball.. matches 42, 43, 44 (43 and 44 = Bronze/Gold medal matches) in Men's Water Polo.. and 6 different gold medal bouts remaining in Boxing

..all on-tap for Sunday EST. The very last two events are the heaviest 2 gold medal bouts in boxing. It's crazy how boxing has been going from immediately following the opening ceremonies to the last event. There are so many countries competing at so many different weights. @@;
