WTF was that shit I just watched!

That opening ceremony was an absolute horror show.

Embarrassing by Japan.

Likely the budget was curtailed as japan already suffering like massive millions of losses.

If I’m not mistaken it is the first time China has won gold for this category? The coach also deserves a lot of credit. He is a French gold medalist and has trained Sun very hard for this moment.

First time China won this event was in 1984, 栾菊杰，that was also the first time PRC participated the Olympics, Since then China has won several golds in this event.

US women football team is well known as one of the best in the world and of course together with their basketball team.

Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea that China won this in one of the earliest Olympics it participated in.

They deserved a butt kicking against Sweden. They've been so dominant they think they can just walk in and win. Thats not how sports works. Hopefully it will wake them up because its very difficult to win back to back World Cup and Olympics.

Team USA mens indoor volleyball team won 3-0 over France. Looked like a team on a mission!

Yup, the competition is getting tougher, sometimes having better range doesnt mean the Gold medals are already in hand.

For Female single Indonesia only send 1 player, Mariska Tunjung, Word Junior Winner. We have 3 strong female single, but only her is eligible to compete in Olympic.

Doesn't Indonesia have a strong Badminton squad this time around? I always think Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Korea, Japan, etc are good in badminton.
