Aziz, no offesne, but I highly recommend you get your hand on a dank joint and relax. I'm worried that all this stress is detrimental to your health.

I am talking about you getting your hand on a cigaweed, smoking said delicacy, have some delicious food and relax .

Joking aside, the world isn't fair. When you have as much as pull as USA does, as wealthy as USA is, you can get away with a lot. Sadly our little country, while rich with resources, doesn't have any pull and thus we get shafted on all fronts.

kimia goes up 20.30 local time against a short but strong thai girl. thai only lost with 1p against spain just like kimia. kimia needs to keep her distance and kick

I don't know the English name of the sport, but the running where they hand each other that thing, women's edition. They make an extra race for them with only them having to run better than a certain time..

Imagine if an Iranian had done this...I mean they are talking about fining Salimi's team for their actions after being robbed.

In regards to Lochte's false claims and criminal behaviour including vandalism and destruction of property...

"These kids tried to have fun, they tried to represent their country to the best of their abilities," Rio 2016 spokesman*Mario*Andrada*told reporters.

"They competed under gigantic pressure. Let's give these kids a break. Sometime you take actions that you later regret. They had fun, they made a mistake, life goes on."

So the American 4x100 relay boots China out...but the question is did the Americans interfere with Brazil or vice versa. Note the American who dropped the baton used her left hand to pass it, while all other runners used their right. So in fact the arguement can be made the American drifted from the centre of her lane and encroached on the Brazilians who legally remained in their lane.

Interesting to hear CBC commentator question whether this re-run of the relay would gave taken place for another nation!
