Our scores are always < China this year.
Especially in Gymnastics, where even when Shawn Johnson sticks the landing, a Chinese bitch can fall on her ass and still get a better score
(except in swimming, USA is owning)

I just heard the Chinese Olympic gymnastics team had several underage competitors. I guess it was brought to the attention of the Olympic judges by one of the local factory owners. It seems some of his best workers didn?t make it to work because they had to compete in the games. I guess when it come to cheap goods the Olypics take a back seat.
sorryI never try anything I just do it!

08-14-2008, 08:57 PM #11Im not afraid to die on a treadmill. I wont be outworked. I will run.Period.You may be more talented than me, you may be smarter than me and all those things, but if we get on the treadmill, your goin to get off first or Im goin to die. Its that simple. The commodity that I see in most people that arent getting to the places they want or arent achieving the things they want is strictly based on hustle, based on being outworked, strictly based on missing the right opportunities.

I made a similar post about this...something is ****ed up and even the commentator notices it.
When the USA girls take a step, they get deductions.
But when a chinese girl does it they somehow just dont deduct it, or not as much.
edit: Yeah, I cant wait until there is no judges sports.Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

here in australia, the commentators aren't biased. while america does really well, china does fantastic. that's the gist of it. basically, the chinese go into the event with higher levels of difficulty so their max score is potentially much higher than the americans. oh, and the americans had a chance to catch up in the female team event. they blew it when that 20y/o chick fell off the beam though.
in the end, it was still relatively close but china really killed it in the final round compared to america who blew it in the final round.

Look at it this way.....
After the Olympics our athletes get to go back home, go to college, get a good job, date, get married, have kids, and live the rest of their lives however they want.
The Chinese athletes get to stay in China, make the national average of a couple thousand dollars a year, have their one allotted child, and live out the rest of their days knowing only the information the government allows them to.
Who's the real winner?
