Did you even watch it? Your girl got knocked down. No contest.

Our girl was slipped and fell. She was not knocked down! Ren beat Adams before!

Ren Cancan did a great job getting our 23rd Silver!

[Chinese-Dragon]

also up by 1 gold, what other gold medal chances are there for China and the US?

Well, we had a good run anyway.

I'm so proud of all our athletes for participating. They did really well.

Go China !

The London Olympic Games is like a half hometurf playground for US, so the Rio Olympic Games will be a more neutral and unbiased place to determine the gold medal race.

Our 37th Gold goes to Chen Ruolin and our 200th GOLD in the Summer Olympic History!

Chen Ruolin successfully defended her women's 10m Platform title in tonight's final at the Aquatics Centre.

You need to get out of Chinatown and travel around the world. I have yet to see a Kung Fu dojo outside of Chinatowns. A Kung Fu dojo outside of Chinatowns is as rare as a snow white unicorn.

I just found some snow white unicorns here in Germany, some even in my city and we don't have one Chinatown in Germany.

I have the feeling that the Brits will try to rob this gold medal from us at any cost.

If a white guy from France can run under 9 seconds I know a Chinese can do that too.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

lol, Jones is ahead in score right now.

This is the best way i wanna describe the London Olympics.

 

[ChinaToday]

OUCH, this man should get an honorary medal as it is, the pain must have been excruciating.

Its an understatement to say the man is a team player.

'It hurt so bad': Sprinter breaks his LEG during relay heat - and finishes anyway to help the US advance to the finals

Read more: Manteo Mitchell breaks his LEG during relay heat - and finishes anyway to help the US advance to the finals | Mail Online safe passage into the men's 4x400 meter Olympic relay final on Thursday morning was not as painless as it had first appeared after Manteo Mitchell revealed he broke his leg half way round the track but still managed to finish.
The 25-year-old 200 and 400 meter runner ran the first leg of America's heat on a blazing hot day inside London's Olympic stadium and although he finished with a limp there was no obvious sign of the pain he was feeling.
'I got out pretty slow, but I picked it up and when I got to the 100-metre mark it felt weird. As soon as I took the first step past the 200-meter mark, I felt it break. I heard it.

US sprinter Manteo Mitchell led off the men's 4X400m relay in the heats on Thursday morning in London, seen here. But just 100 meters in he felt something funny in his leg

Two hundred meters into the race Mitchell, seen here about to hand off to Joshua Mance, says he heard something pop, felt it break and let out a 'little war cry'

'I even put out a little war cry, but the crowd was so loud you couldn't hear it,' Mitchell said.
'I knew if I finished strong we could still get it (the baton) around. I saw Josh Mance motioning me in for me to hand it off to him, which lifted me.

'I didn't want to let those three guys down, or the team down, so I just ran on it. It hurt so bad.'
Mitchell's decision to go through the pain barrier allowed his U.S. team mates to sprint to a joint finish with the Bahamas in identical times of 2 minutes 58.87 seconds, the fastest ever run in the first round of the relay at the Olympic Games.

After the race an x-ray revealed that Mitchell, who ran his leg in 46.1 seconds, had broken his left fibula bone

Mitchell, who ran his leg in 46.1 seconds, said that he had slipped on a stairway this week in the Olympic village but had completed workouts since, including a warm-up for Thursday's race.
After the race an x-ray revealed he had broken his left fibula bone.
The U.S. team was already without 2008 Olympic 400m champion LaShawn Merritt, whose title defence lasted only moments last Saturday when he pulled up with hamstring problems.
The U.S., one of the favourites for gold, will name their final line-up on Friday.

Unlucky, we get our 24th Silver from Hou Yuzhuo in Women Taekwondo 57kg!

In the post match interview Hou was exhausted and during the match she appeared to have injuries in her leg! Anyway A GOOD FIGHT GIRL! We lost only by 2 points!

Go go China!

I dint see the whole match but start with 2n round she was handicapped on her leg. What happend? Also there are very rare video slomotions, which should prove the hits. A bit weird that match.
