Sad Olympic Moment

Jul 31, 2012 20:56

So...I'm still looking to find out what started my archery love, but I'm thinking it might have started with Greek myth. Artemis is still my favorite Greek goddess and she's an archer. I'm wondering if that's where it started.

Now...this made me so sad. There was a huge controversy in fencing yesterday. South Korean fencer Shin A Lam lost a match that would have sent her to compete for the gold medal. However, the reason why she lost caused what I thought was an incredibly upsetting scene.

And these scenes...gosh...so sad.










There's also an gif of someone coming and placing a blanket over her shoulders. The last two images I think are the saddest, but also seems to be a defining, striking, image of the Olympics. NBC usually has this video clip of all the Olympic moments that occurred during the games, which airs once they conclude their coverage at the very end of the games. The song has a sad moment where they air all the sad, upsetting, moments before it builds up again.

I really hope this is one of those moments, preferable the very last image showing up before the music builds up again.

moments, upset, images, games
