LOL! China has a medal boom today.

I'm very disappointed in American track & field. Maybe we should start to blame our president ... BTW, that is how the people love democracy, and be fooled therefore.

Or, maybe we should go on street...

Guys don't get so arrogant, we must stay humble because we could curse things for tomorrow. This medal race ain't over by a long shot. The Americans will fight back.

Australia failed to steal gold from the Yanks cause China stole the gold they tried to steal.

Just found this comparison video of China vs Brazil on men's rings on youtube.

Rate and comment, gotta help spreading the words that China deserved that gold, and how it got robbed by those dirty judges.

This is crazy! There was a clear error in the Brazillian's landing! No penalty for that!

He was a hero, but he has wasted too much Chinese emotions.
It is good that he quits and let the others come and under spotlights.

Yes he was but he is no longer who he was a long time ago. He should not have taken the slot and give it to someone else more able to participate for the duration of the event instead. I'm deeply disappointed seeing him pull out twice now, on the world's biggest sporting event.

I had this gut feeling that he will pull out again because of his delay coming into the UK and his constant talk about his injury. Hope he recovers well from his injury though.

Australia failed to steal gold from the Yanks cause China stole the gold they tried to steal.

Australia managed to nick one against the Brits on the women sprint cycling though.

We carry forward from yesterday's position:
Gold 31 Silver 19 Bronze 14

Today so far we have added:
3 Gold medals: 2 in gymnastics ( men's parallel bar and women's beam); and 1 in table tennis women team
1 Silver medal in gymnastics women's beam
3 Bronze medals in gymnastics men's horizontal bar, women's synchronised duet swimming and cycling - sprint women ( our 17th bronze from Guo Shuang)

Until now our medal tally is:
Gold 34
Silver 20
Bronze 17
Total 71



A really tight competition in men's 3m springboard diving now:

A fierce challenge from the Russian Zakharov in no 2 behind Qin Kai by just 1.25 point. He Chong is in 4th. Only one more dive to go!

Go Go China! Come On

18th Bronze to He Chong
21st Silver to Qin Kai


Zakharov had an almost perfect execution and a very difficult dive. He got the Gold!

Well done boys!

Lost the diving gold, but got silver and bronze

A little sad, but still love our divers.

Btw, is this event fairly judged?

 

[ChinaToday]

if we can get close to 100 medals we are proving them wrong we had home advantage in last olympics

A little sad, but still love our divers.

Btw, is this event fairly judged?

we play it safe but the gold medalist went for broke and it worked out for him

Don't know about that but the last jump earned the Russian diver 2 x 10 mark so that's why he got a very high score plus the difficulty is also very high. Congrats to Russia
