sayang talaga yun France, ang daming chances they had wasted especially the final 20 minutes of the games including that missed penalty kick by their French captain.

Country Gold Silver Bronze Total

Wow! Three hurdlers went down in Liu Xiang's heat (Men's 110m hurdles) including himself.

[mykel14]

He didn't qualify?

[atomicguy]

Much as I hate China due to the Spratlys issue, I think their gymnast got cheated off the gold medal in the rings. Di hamak na mas malinis yung routine niya. Ang advantage lang nung Brazilian? Last siya and sila ang next host country.

[mykel14]

Aruy. Liu Xiang did not finish. Saklap na naman nito for the Chinese.

[mykel14]

Taken out in a wheelchair. He's just so unlucky.

Aruy. Liu Xiang did not finish. Saklap na naman nito for the Chinese.

Very unfortunate indeed. Misfortune for the second straight Olympics.

He hit the first hurdle. Looked like he's still hurt by his Achilles tendon.

[mykel14]

He was doing great early this year and the last. Malas lang talaga tuwing Olympics. Never got past the first hurdle since his win in Athens.

[JeFFSTaR]

Kung minamalas si Liu Xiang, Usain Bolt naman is back winning on the track. He just topped his heat to qualify to the next round of the Men's 200m.

Liu Xiang hits first hurdle

[ceedee]

Kung minamalas si Liu Xiang, Usain Bolt naman is back winning on the track. He just topped his heat to qualify to the next round of the Men's 200m.

Usain Bolt is also chasing Olympic history. if he will be able to defend the 200m and 400m relay. he will be the first runner to achieve this feat.

also Kevin and Jonathan Borlee of Belgium became the first identical twins to advance to the final of an athletic event when they ended up 5th and 6th in the 400m run which was won by Kirami James, Grenada's first Olympic medal.
