the 60 minutes interview from last week made it really seem like he is doing for his mom

The Brits had the silver, but the judges upheld a Japanese protest which gave Japan the silver and GB had to settle for the bronze in men's team gymnastics.

A tweet from James Duthie:

A second athlete (Swiss soccer player) sent home from Olympics for offensive tweet

apparently she called the Koreans retards.




to be fair, my neighbours are Korean, and they mow their lawn with a weed-whacker when it gets knee-high.
small sample-size, I know.
