Disgusting result in the women's long jump. That German is clearly doping.    /s

If Cubans won the gold & silver @OlympicsFan would complain they are doped since Cuba as communist country probably has some old DDR stuff still available and so on. @Makedonas needs to ask where did the German jumper finished in the final? :p

No, i wouldn't and obvious trying to argue like that is just plain stupid. How about you stick to the things that were actually said when you try to lead a discussion? I was obviously 100 % right in the point i made (not wanting an olympic final to be decided by injuries), disagreeing is just plain stupid.

Is it only me who are annoyed by @OlympicsFan comments? 
 

He talks trash about everyone except maybe Germans. 
 

Why can’t we support each other? 

Greece deserves the gold in long jump. It’s not their problem if the competitiors can’t stay healthy. It’s part of the game to stay healthy. 
 

Hassan and doping? What the heck? Shall we blame every great sportsman/sportswoman for doping now?? Please.

Every athletes? No. But a Salazar athlete who is trying herself to an out-of-this-word performance during these Olympics, yeah we probably should... 

 

But we should have a sub-section to discuss these topics like 'the clinic' on cycling news.

Agree. Would be interested to know whether he has ever accused German competitors of doping. Just for the sake of consistency
To be fair, at least in the case of long jump he did not imply that the medallists did finish as they did because of doping.

That's a different point about an individual athlete. But in case of the commenter in question, who seems to carpet-bomb with doping accusations throughout the forum.

Yeah I know. That's why a place to talk about these things would be helpful IMO.

But he was so annoyed that competitiors were injured in long jump. He did think the medallists were unfair because of injuries. 
 

The medallists deserve what they won. Not their problem that competitiors can’t stay healthy.

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
