Members wingwalker Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree. Same with Romania, at least the Brits still got a medal, Romania had one than got taken away. While the US....well, should of had the gold, way to blow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 31, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2012 Don't know much about gymnastics but if they are allowed to use replays to correct the calls, how is that considered wrong or being "robbed'? At the end of the day, you want to have the right calls made. It's like a coaches challenge in NFL. That's what the Japan coaches did here. They challenged the ruling, the judges went to replay, they overturned the initial ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 31, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2012 I hope you're right. There's an article about that: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/olympics--missy-franklin-looks-like-she-s-got-the-chops-to-carry-the--female-phelps--label.html She's won me over with the segment they showed about her family and friends, and her staying in Colorado, turning down a ton a money so she can be eligible for university. I hope she'll have some longevity and we'll see her compete, and win, in 2016 and 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted July 31, 2012 Members Share Posted July 31, 2012 Day 4 and the German team has only won one medal so far – in fencing. Worst showing ever for my country. Well, I still have hopes for the equestrians, rowers, canoeists and some athletes (pole vault, discus and hammer throw, and shot put). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted August 1, 2012 Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm shocked NBC actually bothered to cover Women's Synchronized Diving considering the US wasn't in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 1, 2012 Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 I like anything diving. I am glad they showed it. Cant wait to see the women's gymnastics and the male swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted August 1, 2012 Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 NBC's coverage makes me laugh sometimes. Without spoilers, you knew the guy gymnasts blew it cause NBC didn't show them until towards the end of their coverage & cut it down time wise as much as they could. Tonight, they started the girls gymnastic coverage within the first 30 minutes and spreading it out, cause they are doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
