sad but true - its all politics or the grubby side of the street.

I cannot believe the French accusations about our cyclists. The bikes designs have been public for many months.

And omg the Canadian comment :(

And omg the Canadian comment :(

Yeah, from the Vancouver Post no less. They're just butthurt over Vancouver 2010.

But remember, all these opinions are those of the press. They make their living by either ass kissing or trying to say some of the most outrageous things just to stir up some sort of reaction either way. When it comes to something as big as the Olympics with all the politics and national pride, I take most of it with a grain of salt.

Yes and I guess some of their comments are also influenced on how they are being treated at the Games. If they have a good media centre, lots of free food and drink and stuff etc, it probably influences their opinions.

Honestly, people need to stop caring about how the games look like, and focus on what they're about: worldwide friendship and strengthening international bonds.

I love the Olympics, I think they are going great in London! I've watched everyone of them since 2004 and I think this is my second fav behind Beijing

Makes me feel bad, because it just makes me mad at the Chinese for example when they have more metals than the USA. I guess I'm a bad sport xD
