That Sanchez fella from the Dominican Republic was shedding buckets during his medal presentation and anthem. Shows how much winning a gold medal means to a small nation.

both losing semi finalists get a bronze, not sure why they don't have a bronze medal match but parkendmaster's view seems plausable.

USA are gunna win this footy on pens sadly

Did you see USA's pens against Japan? Horrendous.

I've got to admire Canada's sportsmanship. Classy.

"American judo fighter Nick Delpopolo apologized Monday after he was expelled from the Olympics for doping, blaming the disqualification on his unintentional consumption of something baked with marijuana.

The judoka from Westfield, N.J., said his positive test was "caused by my inadvertent consumption of food that I did not realize had been baked with marijuana" before he left for the Olympics.

Seconded. What. A. Finish.
