This is why Judo and Taekwondo are olympic sports and Wushu is not.

There is a skill level parity of Judo and Taekwondo athletes around the world, where Japanese are not necessarily the best Judo competitors(In fact Japan had no gold in men's division and just one gold in women's division) and Koreans are not necessarily the best Taekwondo competitors. China doesn't even bother to create a skills parity in Wushu, which ensures that Wushu remains a China-only sport with no chance of making it into the Olympics.

The grapes are sour, just congratulate the young athlete and jog on, no need for an assay -

Sorry for my late reply. i just now read the previous pages.... No india BBCI cant force olympic to add cricket.... Only 12 major countries playing cricket. Even after america, china and other countries trying to play cricket cant enter in that 12 countries because cricket alot tough and after defeating well over 40 plus countries a country can join the club.... If you have seen 2nd Fastest Man BLAKE in olympic kept Requesting indian media that he want to join multi million dollars indian premere leaque but IPL not intrested in him.... Even USAIN BOLT loves indian cricket team and his wish is to watch indian Sachin tendulkar playing live in cricket stadium.... Cricket alot tough sport.... Only few countries are allowed to play. America trying to get in and so does china but its not easy.... In olympic u see alot crowd for 15 days.... In cricket u see that everytime whole year.... This is what made indian cricket Board worlds richest cricket board.... Even EPL the english Premere leaque alot jealous of indian premere leaque. Kevin peterson of england openly says that england just too much jealous of india. if alot countries were good at cricket than yes cricket can be part of olympic but only major countries doing good.... The africans are top in olympic in track and field but when they play cricket they give up because cricket needs stamina, skill and luck.... Test match are played 8 hours a day till 5 days.... Its not easy. So i doubt cricket will ever be part of olympic. Not even 20-20....

We are just too good in our own sports. The Olympic committee is too scared to have Wushu enlisted as an official event,
They dont want to give us another opportunity for a massive gold rush.

cricket

if this is official as an Olympic sport, I give you a prediction: the last glory of indian sport will become fast extinct, just like your hockey!

Which is something Koreans should be glad about, or they'll feel left out again.

No one would be learning Taekwondo anymore if China were simplify it down as a sport for everyone, considering Taekwondo is a joke in the first place.

For the Liu Xiang haters take a look at this:

Aries Merritt won the 110m hurdle at 12.92 sec, his personal best. Robles was injured and did not finish the race.

This is Liu Xiang's record in his recent runs before the Olympics:

2012 season

In Liu's first competition of 2012, he was matched up against Dayron Robles at the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix and this time he won cleanly with an Asian record time of 7.41 seconds for the 60 m hurdles. He was the favourite for the title at the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but was beaten into second place by Aries Merritt and left with the silver medal. In the outdoor season he set a 110 m hurdles meet record at the Golden Grand Prix Kawasaki , then ran 12.97 seconds to win at his home nation 2012 IAAF Diamond League meet, the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. This was his first run under 13 seconds since 2007 and he beat Americans David Oliver and Jason Richardson by some distance. He followed this with a run of 12.87 seconds to win at the Prefontaine Classic, matching the world record time albeit with wind-assistance of 2.4 m/s.2012 season

In the 110 metre hurdles at the London Olympics in 2012 he pulled his achilles tendon while taking off and attempted to jump over the first hurdle, but he crashed straight into it. Liu hopped the full 110 metre stretch, was helped by a few of his fellow competitors and was put into a wheel chair and led away. He kissed the last hurdle before he left the track. Colin Jackson described it as a "very sad sight indeed" for the sport. Liu's loss echoed strongly in the Chinese press and public discourses. Some voices expressed support while many others wondered why Liu chose to participate in spite of his injury. Some netizens and journalists even suspected that Liu's fall was 'an act'.

Liu Xiang

He is amongst the best!

Don't be fooled by this so call "korean". All his posts are nothing about Korea but China bashing, and once it does have something to do with Korea it just serve the purpose of China bashing. Someone mentioned before that he is actually from Taiwan, so probably some Pan-Green supporting south Taiwan red neck. Just leave this kesekki alone.

On the side note actually Korea did very well during this olympics.

No, he is not Taiwanese. He can't understand Chinese characters, he thought "中國人" was a derogatory phrase meaning "mainlanders". When in fact, it just means Chinese person.

Even a Korean should understand basic Chinese characters, because they still learn Hanja. So I doubt he is a Korean either.

That person is not "Korean" as flagged. This has been proven many times. People dont be cheated!

The medal count for ROK and DPRK are as follows so far in London:

ROK (S Kor)

London: G 12 S 07 B 06 Total: 25
Beijing : G 13 S 10 B 08 Total: 31

DPRK

London: G 04 S 01 B 00 Total: 05
Beijing : G 02 S 01 B 03 Total: 06

The false flagger doesnt know Chinese; doesnt know about S. Korea and the language. This faker is indian!

Exactly right.

Japanese and Koreans have to learn thousands of Chinese characters in secondary school. Japanese call it Kanji, Koreans call it Hanja.

There is no way they would be unable to read even the most basic characters.

FairandUnbiased tested the false flagger's Korean language. That guy failed to respond.

I tested the faker in this thread and the faker failed again:

Beijing Olympics went well for them as well since it is very close to them. Anyways, they are 4th right now in term of gold medal, let's see how it goes. I guess it is not they outperform themselves but rather outperforming everyone else.
