heywoodu 13,819 Posted July 8, 2016 #661 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Martina gets told he is DSQ'ed by the journalist interviewing him live on tv Good quote from him though: "We have rules for a reason and if I broke them and have to be disqualified, so be it." If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Churandy Martina? Please no, this would mean that the guy from Azerbaijan won gold? German commentator just said that the two kenyan guys competing for Turkey have never been in Turkey ...

I was so sad when he was disqualified in 2008. That was mostly because of the nation he represented though. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, Shawn Crawford got the silver medal because of that, but the same week Crawford had the silver medal delivered in Martina's hotel room with a little note saying that Martina should be the owner of the medal. Rumours are that Martina didn't really want it anymore and said something like "you can give the medal to the girls who clean our rooms.." The only time ever we saw a non-smiling Martina basically If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
