THIS GUY IS SO DEAD Chinese Olympian Zhang Liang showed up ready to compete in the third heat of the singles rowing event on Saturday. Problem was, he was scheduled to be in the second heat, which had already taken place. He was disqualified, which is probably cool with the Chinese government, considering how laid-back they've been about this whole Olympics thing. The Chinese rower Zhang Liang was disqualified in the men’s double sculls event after he failed to show up for his men’s single sculls race Saturday. The double sculls event, in which Zhang was supposed to row with his teammate Su Hui, was held later in the day. The race went off without them. Oh, so he cost his country TWO shots at a medal. Well, I know China can be a little harsh with its ignorance of human rights and maybe a bit too controlling with its Olympic image, but I'm sure Zhang is fine. As long as he slipped over the border under cover of darkness and has done nothing but put distance between himself and his former home country, which he will never see again if he wants to live. I love happy endings.source site
Do they need another gold medal? I think they have enough already, time to share some around. But that is pretty funny how you could forget when you had a olympic race on.
Yeah, how do you forget to finally do the thing you've been training you're whole life to do? That's crazy. You're right though; I'm sure The People will go easy on him. They are oh so caring and humanitarian in Communist China.
Yeah, he just has to cross international borders, but china will be to caught up in winning, so he'll be assasinated after the Olympics, giving him time to escape. I guess he can make it, right? Probably there will be something in the news about "missing" chinese olympians who didn't get medals. Sad.
I think he'll live a nice life untill he accidently has his car blown off the side of a cliff by a "land slide" that contained explosives lol. IO think they might let him live though he is an athletee they just don't respect him anymore oh and they took away his food privalages ; ]
Lulz! This is funny! hes all getting ready for the 3rd heat and all and then he realizes...OH F*CK! THE SECOND HEAT!
It's mighty bad that we can all see this happening, joke about it, and never once bat an eye. Not one of us.
Rofl. I row. I'm a lightweight. Me and the other guys in my boat came home with a silver at the chicago sprints. We lost to ohio state. They're like amazing. However, we did beat a group of grown men. It was pretty funny. EDIT: Sculling is so hard. I always hit my hands together when I try to take another stroke.
I love the header. Probably the funniest thing I've seen all day. I guess this is sort of like the US boxer who was really down one point but thought he was winning so he kept dodging his opponent.
