LOL. You think I don't know what he's talking about? So Karma started to happen to the this Korean fencer that happen like 24 yrs had nothing to do with her. Do you know what "karma" is? Karma would be if it was a South Korean boxer losing to an American boxer. But that to me is still not even what karma stand for. Karma would be something happen to the idiots who are the bribers and the judges who accepted that bribery.
Yi tearing it up in the Olympics.... Les....I know you want to....You're thinking about it...Lin and Yi...
The last Japanese competitor was on the horse when the crowd erupted at the Great Britain scores for floor were announced. He seemed to either fall off or miss a required handstand, so the score moved Japan off the podium for overall. The Japanese team officials immediately filed for a review (funny, they have to pay for the request... so you saw the guy with money in his hand). After the review the scores were changed, Japan was moved to Silver, Great Britain for bronze, and Ukraine gets pushed off the podium.
I'm only able to see the NBC feed Channel 2 here in Houston and when I do get to see it on the tube it's already 7 prime time.....
In Buddhism, karma (Pāli kamma) is strictly distinguished from vipāka, meaning "fruit" or "result". Karma is categorized within the group or groups of cause (Pāli hetu) in the chain of cause and effect, where it comprises the elements of "volitional activities" (Pali sankhara) and "action" (Pali bhava). Any action is understood as creating "seeds" in the mind that will sprout into the appropriate result (Pāli vipaka) when met with the right conditions. Most types of karmas, with good or bad results, will keep one within the wheel of samsāra, while others will liberate one to nirvāna.[citation needed] Karma is one of five categories of causation, known collectively as niyama dhammas, the first being kamma, and the other four being utu (seasons and weather), bīja (heredity, lit. "seed"), chitta (mind) and dhamma (law, in the sense of nature's tendency to perfect).
Tough training is the same everywhere in the world if you really want to achieve something, especially in gymnastics, you need to start from a very young age. The problem within that system, only the very best few can harvest the fruits, i.e. lucrative rewards from the government and advertisement sponsorship. The vast majority will have a below-average living standard because they rarely go to college thus can't make a decent living in other professions.
Time to leave this kid alone. Like I said, shame on the people who dirtied her accomplishment with nothing but pure speculation.
When someone beats their own time by 5 whole seconds it makes it super suspicious when winning and losing can be .3 seconds.
China slams drug claims as Phelps targets Olympic history http://sports.yahoo.com/news/phelps-bids-put-olympic-gold-hunt-back-track-043318228--oly.html
It's smart to wait for the facts before we crucify and tarnish a 16 year old's accomplishment. This is just my opinion.
It is, and the sad fact is that Chinese swimming has a notorious reputation due to the largest drug scandal in swimming history in the 90's and these questions will automatically arise anytime it has dramatic improvements in performance.
She's only 16 years old. It's not unprecedented for someone so young to make drastic leaps. In fact, yesterday Ruta Meilutyte, the 15-year old who won the 100m breaststroke beat her personal best from last year by 3 seconds (a larger margin than the 5 seconds from Ye) yet no one questions its legitimacy.
