Griff88 1,749 Posted October 28, 2019 #193 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So... 1 bronze medal for us. Better than nothing. Still unable to understand why the host tried so hard to win by all means, many countries just send athletes for the sake of participation lol thiago_simoes and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is totallympics a dictatorship? Jokes aside. Chinese athletes did perform well. Unfortunately, it was at expense of some athletes who performed better in some cases. I mean almost of the all the officials and judges were Chinese, that shouldn’t be the case at an international event like this. A lot of questionable calls favored the Chinese athletes. Also, to be clear, I don’t the blame the athletes. Many of the men have no control over the government “fixing” the results. I do think China did a great job hosting the games, I just can’t respect the way the cheated in multiple case, and how hard they made it find some basic information. I enjoyed the games, but they were far from perfect. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

China can beat India, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Congo, and 4th string European and American athletes with their best athletes! I’m honestly fine with them taking the games seriously, I think it’s a good thing for the longevity and prestige of the games. The fixing, cheating, and lack of foreign top talent isn’t though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

What do you mean? Artistic Gymnastics wasn’t broadcast if that’s what you’re looking for. CCTV only broadcast event finals and a few prelims here and there. “Sport has the power to change the world.

This is my usual way: Use this extension (Firefox): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-videodownloader/ 1. Install 2. Play the video once (10 seconds is enough), refresh it and play it again 3. Download the video using the extension thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
