First 2010 olympic medal for Czech republic is gold. Yay!
Martina Sablikova @ Ladies' Speed Skating - 3000m
Am I the only one not upset by Kearney's comments? Besides, who actually reads the Everett Herald?! I live and work right next to Everett and I never pick it up.
It's always possible that she was making a joke that would have made sense in context, it was the last sentence that sounded bad to me in print.
I think it's an AP quote, I believe I saw it a few other places.
Groves winning the Bronze in the 3000 was a real treat. That's not even her real event, really proud of her.
Going back to the womens moguls: How classy was Kristi Richards? I was so disappointed when she crashed, but then she gets back up, looks at the crowd, and then pulls off that huge aerial. That girl's awesome.
GOLD! Fuck you, Begg-Smith.
GOLD! Fuck you, Begg-Smith.
What a good sport you are, not bitter at all.
He brought the "bad guy" image on himself. Him turning his back on Canada after already competing for Canada is one thing, but refusal to acknowledge the country where you grew up is another. He flat out denies Canadian media (as well as most international media) any chance. You refuse to talk, you get the evil image. Sorry, but it's his fault, no one else.
And hopefully this opens up the doors for more golds for us.
Not really. When act like, well, a douchebag towards the country where you grew up, there is going to be a lot of built up anger.
But we as a country also showed we are good sports, we cheered for him where in most places the "bad guy" would get boo'd.
It's ok he left for a better country
No one really like him here either.
