Andriitsev destroyed Boltukaev! 8-5 final score after 0-4 at the end of first period

MHSN, please tell me if Saritov does stand a chance vs Snyder.

It was a fukin' disgrace; all spectators and fellow boxers were shocked. This is not sport any more and I won't ever watch this mafia playground

Thank you

Me too, I will never understand it

What do you mean?

You definitely have some issues; we lead from start to finish https://www.rio2016.com/en/fencing-womens-epee-team-gold-medal-match

Thank you! Did you watch the final?

Ana Branza had an astonishing comeback; I also thought it's all over when trailing 20-23 with one minute to go

And now we are in the final after crushing Russia 45-31. We will face China in gold metal match

I know they have a common cultural heritage and I understand why they cheered for Angola, but BOOING your partner's attacks at Olympic Games? I've never seen it before. Then wtf will they do at Brazil - Romania direct game?

Unfortunately I'm not very optimistic in this matter; the old corrupted dinosaurs from IOC will keep on giving the Olympics to third world mobsters who know how to...oil the engine, if you know what I mean

Man, these are exactly my thoughts, just like you were my twin brother

I completely agree; they're the worst Olympics since Moscova 1980

Maybe thiago simoes or another brazilian user can tell us why the crowd was booing us right from the start; did we do something wrong and offended the mighty brazilian nation? I've never seen this at a handball game on a neutral venue.

If we play like in '76 we qualify to next Olympics

Very poor performance from Simona, she could't contain her emotions. Anyway, our hopes for a medal were related to Popescu and Gherman

This is great draw for Andreea! Can I give you a big sloppy kiss?

Pls, pls, I want a good draw for Andreea Chitu. No Nakamura in her path Where are you watching the draw?

The fact I'm Romanian does mean that I have access to lots of competitions, papers, TV news and inner gossip that you don't have a clue about

OK Being Romanian, I probably know the Romanian gymnasts far less than you do...

That was the opinion of Romanian Gymnastics Federation officials; personally I rate Iordache better, even in these circumstances, and I think she had chances to win a medal (probably in AA). Ponor won't get any medal, you'll see

I've been following fencing since 1996, man (remember Badea-Trillini and Badea-Vezzali bouts in Atlanta?). I disagree with everything you said, but I don't wanna argue with you, so let's respect each other opinion, OK?
