CBC apologized online and on-air late Wednesday night after one of its commentators said a defeated Chinese swimmer “died like a pig” during a race.
The incident occurred after the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay final, when it seems colour commentator Byron MacDonald thought he wasn’t on-air and said: “The little 14-year-old from China dropped the ball, baby. Too excited, went out like stink, died like a pig. Thanks for that.”
Bolt, Gatlin, then De Grasse. De Grasse is amazing, but he's clearly trying much harder to keep up with the big boys (dopers, probably). Just look at the difference in size. Gatlin is short (and a doper) but he's a tank. De Grasse needs a few more years to develop muscle mass. Sprinters tend to peak around 24-25.
The guy who won bronze like I said he would. He's a very young Canadian (21) who just burst onto the scene last year but has been getting decent press up here. He was running for USC I think, with that other young American guy (Trayvon something?).
He should be the best sprinter in the world at the next Olympics. The current batch of Jamaicans will be too old by then, and the American youngsters aren't as good as De Grasse.
The Chinese and Brazilian women just put on a hell of a volleyball match
Congrats to the Chinese women for winning.
I swear, if I was 6'11" and not 5'11", I would have tried my best to be a professional volleyball player. I loved playing it in school and love watching it being played.
I played a lot of it as a kid...stopped in HS because football was the same season.... wouldn't have mattered my HS is the best volleyball school in the country...tons of Olympians from there I never would have made varsity....fun story..my first HS fight as a freshman was broken up by the girls volleyball team ( one got a gold)
Lots of weird shit going on at this olympics- officials selling scalper tickets, the fake hold-up story, the chinese pole vaulter who loses because his penis got in the way..
