  • Pinch me, I'm dreaming! :cheesy: Kamil is a champion about whom Poland didn't even dare to dream... He is better than the best dreams and fantasies! :rose: My God, can't believe he actually did this! I mean my faith in him was huge, really, but when this finally did happen I couldn't, repeating to myself don't wanna wake up, don't wanna wake up from this beautiful dream. 'Cause it's a kind of dream. A daydream. Kamil, you're LEGEND :obey: A king, lord and master :obey: Now, I'm off to treat my throat 'cause I was screaming worse than Zimoch and Dębowski both during their comments :D Kamil, Poland loves you so much :heart: :flower:


    Btw. I forgive Dębowski every kind of shitty comment during volleyball matches at the Olympics :D because he was simply INSANE when Bródka was gaining gold :thumbsup: I'll never forget this moment partly thanks to him, I mean it. :obey:


    EDIT. Ofc, blame the emotions but I totally forgot that I was insanely happy that Noriaki took silver! I bow down to the ground, "grand-papa" :obey: He's an inspiration. And since I know how close to gold he was and how great crowning achievement of his career this could be, I'm even more touched because of his reaction to silver. Classy guy :thumbup: Even Peter. Mr-So-Much-Disappointed seemed to be more happy from taking brown than silver :D Fantastic podium, I feel a bit sorry for Severin, well, life... But after all, podium looks damn good with Kamil and Noriaki on it :thumbsup:

    Edited once, last by kondzio ().

  • Perfect performance by Sotnikova? I think You didn't watch only looked for score.

    Gold for Russia is big joke. Sotnikova's footwork was average but She got better score than Kim. And Sotnikova landed with 2 foots after jump on ice where Kim program was perfect.

    The best example for corruption here- Kim after triple jump with perfect landing from Russian judge got.. 0 pts !

    Experts demolished by words that contest.

  • Mao Asada short program was tragedy. She took 16th place and automatically was eliminated from podium.

    Yuna Kim and Mao Asada will retire after Olympics.

  • Your comment is a joke here. Have you ever watched figure skating before? Do you know how technical score works? Sotnikova had 2 combinations with triple jumps, she had more difficult spins and steps sequence. Yuna Kim got so heavy and slow, she was barely moving across the ice. She make combinations with double jumps, like skaters did 30 years ago. Of course, she's 100 years old and she has all the Canadian and Korean money behind her, so she thought that she'll get it even without taking risks. Thankfully sports goes ahead and if you lose 6 points in technical difficulty it's very hard to play it back. I'm not Adelina's fan, I like Lena Radionova and wait for her to shine, but all those Canadian histeria - if Russian girl has won, it got to be corrupted is really sick.



  • Well, I'm a fan of figure since many years but sick of this!!!
    I will quit to watch it. Can we say this as sports? What is the difference between this and match fixing?
    Figure has to be eliminated from Olympic Games.
    That is exactly the reason why figure fans are quitting and it becomes less popular year by year.
