so far, Rasul Boqiev, a Judo contestant from Tajikistan (???), has more medals than Canada.So far he has...
Go team Canada.
for one thing you should say "i suck." not "we suck." at least they are competing. plus they are doing it drug free and without all the help and hand outs other athletes from other nations get.WE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same applies to the American athletes.for one thing you should say "i suck." not "we suck." at least they are competing. plus they are doing it drug free and without all the help and hand outs other athletes from other nations get.
if more medals is important to you then show support a little more then once every four years.
these athletes work part time or full time jobs and or go to school in some cases and spend most any spare time they have training for their sport with next to no support from the the government and even less from people like you that say "we suck".
i'm sorry to be so harsh with you but i think there are a lot of people out there that need a reality check with this topic.
you have got to be kidding me??????The same applies to the American athletes.
MY point was that it wasnt gov't supported like a lot of other countries like Australia and china for example.you have got to be kidding me??????
they get waaaaaaaaaaaay more funding then canadian athletes get and they also have a population of 300 000 000 to pull talent from whereas we have 32 000 000 to pull talent from.
also i'll say this, i don't admire much about americans but one thing i do admire is they support amateur sport. go to a high school wrestling match in canada and go to a similar match up of high school wrestling in the states.
no comparison period.
i'm not going to sit here and read and hear on the radio today about how embarrassing it is for out athletes to have won no medals when for the next four years after the games are done no one will give a shit and support them zero.
then also listen to people bitch about how they don't want their tax dollars to go towards sport and this and that but bitch about medals.
ROTFLMAO** Just a quick note to those of you in Surrey, fencing is sword fighting NOT stealing, buying or using stolen goods.
TFF.........

It's nice to see some of our athletes coming through and getting rewarded for their hard work.
