2008 Olympics: Notes, Stories & Observations


Men's basketball:
Wade and Delfino, tit for tat scores ? is there an echo in here? 96-81 USA.

2 from Bosh. Oberto fouls out after keeping Wade from laying one in. Wade misses the first, hits the second. 99-81 USA.

A little one on one from Wade on the break, nice fake right, cut left to the hoop. 101-81. Unless argentina can score three touchdowns in the last minute, this one?s over.

We didn't try to diminish what they did............because they aint done isht to diminish. LOL. They won the same ole stuff they always win except for the 12 medals they got on their project 119 (123) list. They fell 107 (111) short. The US will still have dominated the Olympics even with Boxing, Track and Field and the softball teams not being up to par like normal. Oh well poor China. When they get a Michael Phelps like athlete then come talk to us. They about to kill poor Yao Ming......he needs to defect so he don't have to play with that sad arse team of his. I know Les Alexander cringed everytime it looked like Yao was tweaking that injury.

They may catch up with us by 2020.........lol.

I think some folks from the hood could have won a medal.

During the Los Angeles Olympics, my father and some other older relatives were talking about the Black athletes who were dominating the track and field events. They talked about how they added ?sports? like synchronized swimming. (We do not think it is a sport.) At the medal ceremony after the men?s 400 meter relay, my father pointed out the number of Black medalists on the medal stand (or podium). First place went to the U.S., second place was won by Jamaica while the Canadians won the bronze. Every medalist was a person of African decent-a dark skinned brother. In other words 12 Black men won medals from the relay race. My father basically laughed.

We still have the most medals in a down year in Track for us.........Wait until we get to London. I bet all that will change. You worry to much about the wrong isht. China aint coming. They aint taking over.......... As Shaw said.........they are winning in events we don't care about and never will be great at.
 
Kicked out: Cuban banned for life

BEIJING (AP) -- A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after the athlete, Angel Matos, kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.

Cuban coach Leudis Gonzalez offered no apology for Matos' actions during the men's over-80 kg (176 pounds) match.

Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. He was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.

Yea...I saw the replay on that. Not good...:smh:

Right after they showed that clip...they went to boxing, and a Cuban fighter was showing his arse in the ring. It was more subdued...but, you can see he wasn't being a good sport.

What's up with the Cubans?
 
I saw him on the Today show this morning and wondered about his ethnicity?

Half Japanese and half African-American

Congratulations on his victory!

Decathlon?s new king takes throne

BEIJING ? Bryan Clay was doubled over and gasping for air. Roman Sebrle was sprawled on his back and writhing in pain.

The 1,500-meter run, the final event of the decathlon, had come to a grueling end. NBC could not have choreographed any better what happened next.

Sebrle, the two-time defending Olympic champion, looked in urgent need of help despite waving off track officials who scurried out with a stretcher. Clay, the new Olympic champion, extended his left hand.

Sebrle pulled himself to his feet. Then he lifted Clay?s hand high into the air as one would a new champion.

?He?s king now,?? Sebrle said later.

Wrestler who dropped medal was right
BEIJING (AP)?It turns out that the Greco-Roman wrestler who was stripped of his bronze medal for dropping it in disgust on the mat had reason for being angry, according to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Ara Abrahamian of Sweden complained to CAS that a penalty in the second round of his 84-kilogram bout on Aug. 14 against Italian Andrea Minguzzi wasn?t assessed until after the round ended. Once factored in, Abrahamian automatically lost the match. Minguzzi went on to win the gold medal.

Abrahamian?s coach was then denied a request for a video review, then the wrestling federation?the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles, or FILA?refused to consider a protest.
