This fluff piece I just saw :(

If I heard right, one of the independent athletes hasn't seen his parents for 20 years :(((

Holy shit, you guys. I was just hoping David wouldn't embarrass himself. :O :O
freckles929 11th-Aug-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
IKR, didn't he just BARELY squeak into the semifinals yesterday? I'm so shocked tbh.
chuk_is_dazzled 11th-Aug-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)

awwww team gb are so cute boohoo china
weruintooeasy 11th-Aug-2012 09:03 pm (UTC)
so the chinese dude cried over silver? why are people so pressed.? they're allowed to be upset about it. he must have felt a ton of pressure to win gold especially since china dominates diving.
agnes_perdita 11th-Aug-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
People in here are pretty anti-China. You just gotta ignore it esp. just after an event finishes when emotions are running high.
catlawyer 11th-Aug-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
ikr.
it's been like this with every other sport.
invisible_cunt 11th-Aug-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
because it's called sportsmanship
he should be happy that he got a medal
not be a sore cunt about it when other people are pleased with even a bronze
weruintooeasy 11th-Aug-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)
i don't consider crying over a silver "bad sportmanship" tho. if he goes around saying he "deserved the gold" and refusing to accept the silver then yeah that's bad sportmanship but these are athletes who train for 4 years for this moment and their ultimate goal is gold. emotions are high and if they're upset then they're allowed to be.

meh it's just exaggerated jingoism with a bit of yellow peril mixed in. i root USA/China and yeah you just have to get used to it here.
rubyboots 11th-Aug-2012 09:10 pm (UTC)
just makes you look like a total asshole tbh. You can be disappointed and manage to look like a grown up at the same time and put on a brave face for a few minutes
sky_ablaze 11th-Aug-2012 09:03 pm (UTC)
Wait we got gold in diving?

Were we favored to win?

buffy_usa 11th-Aug-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
no in fact the guy who won qualified in last place
hazel_belle 11th-Aug-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
I don't think we were favored to get gold, perhaps Bronze.
chuk_is_dazzled 11th-Aug-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
idek but the chinese silver medalist was like #1 for a long time
freckles929 11th-Aug-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
LOL no. China wins like 99% of the diving medals, and the guy who won was in like 16th place going into the semifinals this morning.
sky_ablaze 11th-Aug-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
damn, good job to the guy who was 16th lol
