I am what people call an armchair commentator for the Olympics i.e. I sit on my bean-bag chair and watch TV while making my opinions known to those around me. It is to no surprise that my fellow television-watchers have quickly dwindled due to my utterly bias and LOUD commentatory coupled with my intense impatience for scores to come out, replays

Personally, I don't think He's medal should be stripped so the US team can win. I think it should be stripped because I believe they cheated.

Oh and the medal tally. That's the way the U.S. always calculates it. Even when the U.S. is leading in gold medals it still goes by total medals. It isn't just unique to these games.

I'll give you the medal tally since NBC Olympics does give the ranking by total medals. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080810052304AAmGeO4 is interesting to read though.

Shit I actually went to google it and HE IS GAY. Omo. And I also found some fansite that I feel like joining HAHA.
Anyway this was a good read! As much as I wanted the USA (or anyone, actually) to beat China in the medal tally, I really think USA's behaviour over this just stinks of childishness la. You've lost, accept it! I feel quite bad for them because the pretty gymnast (Sacramone?) really screwed up big time, but I thought it was quite clear China ought to have won anyway.
But anyway, not like it'll make a difference if the medal is awarded to them in the end! They don't deserve it, and the gymnasts will know la.
