The Olympiad - Page 4

elSicomoro · 02-26-2006, 10:53 AM

Yesterday, April and I were talking about the race where Ohno got bronze behind the Koreans the other night. He handled that with grace...it was like, "Yeah, I couldn't get past them...shit happens." Compare that to Ahn Hyun-Soo in 2002, when he was disqualified and the gold went to Ohno...he threw his country's flag down and made a scene, and Ohno got death threats. People like Ohno, Shaun White and the men's curling team (Bronze, baby!) make up for asses like Chad Hedrick and Bode Miller.

I didn't watch the Olympics as much this week as I did last week, but they were good games. Maybe April and I will have enough $$$ to go to Vancouver in 4 years.

Dick Button is a crotchety old bastard. Look what happened when Ohno was given the gold in 2002...the flag-throwing idiot kept it on the front pages for a LONG time to the point where they contemplated giving a double gold. Just like the canucks when the ice-skating duo was ripped off. Give me a break!
