1500m men is the same scenario then the women, seriously, how can a race can be 25 second behind a world record, I know there is race strategy but if your strategy make you run a 3:55 when you can run under 3:30 maybe it's not a good strategy.

True... but in that particular case the players stopped playing u know. No offense but i cant understand that attitude, its sports, its olympia, its in ur home country and the biggest stadium in the world is filled with almost only fans of ur national team and ur team is playing good. What has to go wrong in ur mind if u think : WOW thats a good situation to boo the enemy team out. I guess i will never ever understand it

Still waiting for your example of a German top team stopping a home-match because their opposition got booed... Should be easy to provide since you claimed it has happened and such an event would most certainly make the headlines worldwide.

I think everyone agree that in the best world no one would ever boo and just applause both team, but I realy don't see what is your particular problem with the final. A close game between the home team, and a team who humiliated them at home in the last work cup, is a normal time to boo.

Strychnine - that it some old school style doping o.0


I was watching the weightlifting competition with a Canadian, where the commentators said that she should have a medal if she is able to finish 5-6.

It's clearly the worst sport in term of doping (at least known doping)

Yeah, when I first started to watch distance running on tv I thought the athletes looked really, really slow. Then I looked at their actual speed and realized these men are endurance gods.

Gonna start running tomorrow, I wanted to start swimming again but it takes too much time

Yes maybe i was too harsh in that particular case since it seems to be "normal" for most of you.Buti still dont understand it and to be honest i lost alot of respect for Brazil during this Olympia even if it sounds stupid..wtf is that attitude..do all people there do it on their own ? do they just follow some hardcore fans who start it ? Don´t they do any sports themselfs ? Did they watch any Olympics before ?

I'll go so far as to agree that it is the sport in which they are most often getting caught. I personally think the 100 m dash is the benchmark sport though. By simply skimming through the Mens list of top 25 all-time I think it is only Maurice Greene and Usain Bolt who have yet to be caught.

From reading that article, is that thing really beneficial or is it one of those athletic superstitions? It's classified as a "stimulant" but the article gives the impression that it may be of questionable efficacy.

My takeaway from these Olympics is that Europe has the most bipolar sporting culture in the world. You have pitched battles between hooligans in the streets of France in the Euro Cup and all sorts of fan violence in football. But a little booing just causes some of you guys to totally wimp out and cry. Do you not follow normal football over there?
