Apollo Ohno gets hosed

[bionicarm]

So Ohno's in the 500m speed skating final, and gets a DQ for barely touching a Canadian, who in turn falls. When the race was over, Ohno was second, and another Canadian was first. Then an official, WHO WAS CANADIAN, gets to decide if Ohno commited a foul. After he called Ohno for the DQ, another CANADIAN gets the bronze. Nothing like home field advantage, even in the Olympics.

Yep and the canadian who won gold had done the exact thing to the korean that fell (put his hand on his hip but did not push him) Did you see Ohno's interview afterward? I think he got the point across that it was a bad call but didn't cross the line to make himself look bad.

Yea, Ono gave a perfect response.
Not only that, then as the Korean that fell tried to grab the Canadian that one. Should have been 3 DQ's....

They will have to go a long ways to match the travesty from the Korean games or the 72 Basketball finals.

I say we invade Canada and make it state #51 or #58 if your name is Barack.
