And if he was American then people here would say that he shouldn't get bronze Anyway, I think Arai will be disqualified #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemia 1,259 Posted August 19, 2016 #1233 Share Posted August 19, 2016 It's the first time I watched this event in its entirety and it was worth it! Diniz still managed to finish, 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a much more malicious and intentional bump than the Brazilians yesterday. But we all know there are some rules for some countries, and other rules for other countries.

intoronto 4,201 Posted August 19, 2016 #1235 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I just saw the bump again and I don't think there is any grounds for a dq. Tough luck for Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,217 Posted August 19, 2016 #1238 Share Posted August 19, 2016 well, what to say... I´m speechless, entirely speechless... This is my best and the most beautiful day in my life talking about sport ofc. Matej is absolutely amazing ! I´m so happy he managed to keep all the pressure as he was clearly the biggest favorite for gold here, at least in Slovakia It was a cruel and exciting race, I lost some 10 years today just watching it, even in our TV his coach said : "peoples don´t be afraid, Matej is doing his tactics perfectl, He´ll start the race in 40th kilometer." so we were waiting this and he did it oh dear I do not know what to say more...I´m so happy, so so happy..I wanted this athletics medal so much...and finally we have it and it´s a gold ..I can´t believe it. Absolutely awesome. Congrats Matej, current world champion and olympic champion Our 9th summer olympic gold in history and the first ever non-canoe slalom Gold and finally Thank you all for your congratulations ! Thank a lot Gianlu33, Bohemia and heywoodu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the same kind of thing as the Americans vs Brazilians, with the difference being that the Americans were actually 100% knocked out of the race because of that. Losing a baton is different than having to regain your balance. dcro 1 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!
