He got disqualified for a false start.
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
I didn't say that. There are however lots of athletes barred from playing, medalists in these Olympics who have recently cheated and then you've got crooked federations like the boxing one.
Congratulations to the British women's hockey team!
GB women win 3-0 and go into their first ever Olympic final. Lots of bumps, bruises and cuts sustained but they're there.

What's gone on here then?

I thought the USA basketball team was almost unbeatable?
Yeah, they'll probably win this one too but the competition has been far from comfortable so far.
It's still the first quarter. But it's not as good as the 08-12 teams - no LeBron, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant who are 3 of the best ever (at least in their respective positions).
Not as good but they're up by more than 20 late in the second quarter.
this is easy for the USA now.
Playing well now but they had a big lead against France and went to sleep in their last game.
Duncan's retirement has hit Ginobli hard. It's all gone now
It was never that close though. In the end it was a 3-point gap but I don't think they went below 4 before Diot's final shot and were 6-8 points ahead all the time.
Australia and Serbia gave them their toughest games.
She was drunk and only you were happy, this does not sound good at all
True but they should be putting these teams away and winning by double digits without a problem.
Duncan's retirement has hit Ginobli hard. It's all gone now
They should but I guess they find it hard to focus in the groups. They've been different class to Argentina tonight as expected and will win the whole tournament but it's kind of boring. Everyone's basically competing for silver or bronze depending on whether they get USA earlier than final or not.
Isn't Kyrie Irving Australian BTW? I'm pretty sure he was born there.
Yeah they play too much as individuals at times. I didn't realize Kyrie was born in Australia. Just looked it up. He was born in Melbourne. Grew up in New Jersey though. His parents are American. Dad played pro ball for a team in Oz.
Yet I saw some other boxers still wearing them
That Argentinian chant is great. I've always loved it in football matches, too.
Waited all game for the commentators to say "don't cry for me Argentina". Did not disappoint.
This generation of Argentina has won everyhitng.
There's nothing more than proud to feel for them.

Dont the women still wear them? Hmmm.Yet I saw some other boxers still wearing them
Kemboi DQ for stepping one foot outside the track , OK that's the rules but FFS that is harsh and loses his bronze medal.
There was a protest 1 hour after the race finished by the French.

Why would you even want a bronze medal you know you didn't earn?
19.78 and eased off again. How does he do it?
That smile from bolt
Gemili seems like a really nice lad, De Grasse should take Bolt's mantle when he retires.
Waheyy
WOW that's a shock , Gatlin not even in the Final.
So Merritt vs. Bolt with De Grasse as a joker, got a sneaky feeling Bolt can break his WR.
The cheat won't make the final. Good stuff.
GatlinA bit sad not to see the fastest runners in the final
Honestly think Gatlin was spooked by Bolt's run prior, looked tense on the start line.
Great article on ESPN about them (Zach Lowe wrote it)
Wow Thompson beats Schippers
Thompson wins the women's 200m beating the World Champion.
she was not even close really.
