You mean Ohno tried to push his way through, maybe even trip up the other skater, then fell himself. He is a cheater, he will cheat anyway he can to win.


Yeah, well Dokdo is Japanese territory, and Hwang is a sa-gi-ggun.

It sounds like JinJu understands and believes what the Korean media is saying. That's a real unbiased group when it comes to these things.


Theres a certain truth to the fact that Ohno did intentionally try to trick the judges via his now infamous "Hollywood Action". Ive see replays of it and to me it looks like he simply tried to cheat. The flipside of your argument is that you dismiss anything the Korean media says because you are yourelf biased agaisnt them. Personally I dont like Ohno and Im glad he failed to medal.

Yes, that's true. I said it incorrectly because I had a bunch of little kids running around. I meant that they are very biased when it comes to matters like this. I'm sure most of the time they are not, but maybe they are. I don't really know for sure.

As much as I try to approve of Korea, the whole Ohno thing just went to show how much of a joke this country can be.

So close to being respectable, than they have moments like that.


Yep, that's pretty right on for a newbie.


Confused Sarcasm?

If yes, cheers.

If you're taking a poke at me ... I have been here 4 years.

If you read my other posts in this thread, you can tell (or should be able to) that I am agreeing with you.

Oh no no. Not now! Now is when it will pick up leading up to the world cup. Then, if the Koreans fall flat on their faces (Not that I'm hoping that - just a real possibility.), they'll have to go back to all those '02 highlights to wash that horrible taste out of their mouths. Not really sure when it will end. Maybe the next time they do well at the world cup. Oh lord!
