I proposed a valid argument. They won based on the fact that they didn't crash(like 2 others in the race who wiped themselves out of medal contention). That's called a logical argument. Thank you, come again.

lol valid arguement that he won out of luck supports my arguement

please reply

24 medals you asian faggot heidtb

7 gold
7 silver
10 bronze

most gold
2nd most silver
most bronze by far

I'd say it's luck if they rolled dice at the beginning of the race. They didn't, they all had the same chances to crash, or not to crash. Yet the two Americans didn't crash, they held their ground and were opporunistic. Maybe the Koreans who were in 2nd and 3rd could've taken note on how to work as a team instead of trying to edge each other out in the last turn, and making a bad pass. Bad decisions lead to bad finishes, and that's what happened. It's not luck, it's part of the sport, and any racing sport as I said before.

Let's take another example. Lindsey Vonn probably could've won the Women's Super Combined, as she won the first portion, and was on pace until she crashed in the second part. But notice how I don't say that? She lost fair and square, because even though she WAS winning, she crashed, causing her to lose. The best advice I can give is to get over it and move on. Crashing, not finishing, getting DQ's are obviously a part of the sport. Otherwise we might as well just make the race a 1 turn race and whoever gets the best start should win, eh?

stfu your asian too or is that the other 1



nobody pushed vonn out, the koreans atleast deserved all the medals, ohno lucked out

dont copy what other writers do, dont make you look any better

First off I'm failing to see what I copied?Second off, it's absolutely no different. let's say the other guy didn't get pushed over, the 3rd Korean still falls(due to...yet again....a stupid pass), Ohno gets third. Does that extra silver make you that much happier with Korea's performance in speed skating(since that's the only event they even medal in)?

I could also make the argument that Ohno should have been in first because he made an awesome pass on the first Korean guy, but that guy pushed him, causing him to lose all speed, and fall into fourth, thus allowing all three Koreans to get into the 1,2,3 spots(a position experienced skaters on the same team shouldn't lose in any situation). Speed Skating is a contact sport, even though it's not supposed to be(as contact is supposed to result in DQ), as such you should expect racers to get knocked out for making stupid decisions, which is exactly what happened in this situation.

TL;DR: Shit happens in racing sports, people get knocked out, if you can't stay in the race, you don't deserve to win. /thread

look at how ohno got his 7 medals


that about sums up america

By being a professional speed skating racer? Like everybody else? Sounds good to me.

lol its k, the korknub needs to go back to owning at a non-olympic sport (starcraft) since the only arguement he has on why america pwns so much is how we manage to get the most medals w/ just pure luck.
