What do you remember of Olympics 2008 in Beijing for your country?

There's something wrong if Belgium is 4th in football.
And for me, how ridiculously China presented the olympics

Graecos 24 Aug 2008, 20:05

No, and I have nothing against Belgium, they just arent in the top 4 of football.
The olympics football is nonsense, like what all players of the team must be under 23 or something ?

yes, all most be 23 years old or younger, except for 1 or 2, not sure how many , where they can be any age (like ronaldinho)
and beligum were great, they obviously have future in football
they deserved more than brazil

Basketball final

Spain vs United States of America

was very nice.

The dutch did pretty well for such a small country. 7 gold medals.
▼
Fizmo 24 Aug 2008, 20:18
Only 2 medals for a country of 10million...

Compare that to countries like Netherlands or Norway or Switzerland or just any other country (percentage wise ofc) and it's an absolute embarassment.

What's the story behind the protest?
Parent

Bitmap 25 Aug 2008, 10:09
Corruption. CAS reviewed the case and "demands that the rules are changed prior to the next Olympics"

If I check only the results, I have to say this was the worst Olympics for Hungary ever, but I'm sure I will not forget these memorable moments:

Attila Vajda won our long-waited first gold

Total: 3 gold, 5 silver, 2 bronze
