Worst and Best Olympic Moments

The worst was the women's eight rowing failure and subsuquent actions after the final. I won't even try to pretend what was going on but I saw unprofessional attitudes not only from the instigator, but also the team, coaches and commentators. I was always told that everything should be given a positive attitude, regardless of what happens, I saw it fail miserably this time.
For me, the best and without a doubt was the Morrocan guy winning the Men's 1500m. Not so much the race, nor the final 100m where 2 men fought to win, but the story behind it - how he had failed to previously win it, and the humility he showed while on the dais was something I will remember for a while - great story. While up there, the look on his face that said: Finally, was priceless.

The worst would be that Mark French drop kick...damn i hate him  As if he didnt know wat he was doing. Bak in my swimming days (6months ago) everyone knew the shit you could and couldn't take.
Best would have to be the 200m Free with Thrope beating everyone...again  .
Next would have to be the womens relay team beating the WR...followed by that chikc who won a gold in diving. First Aussie female in like 108years

Hi,
Best moments were watching the big chicks strutting their stuff -weightlifting, shotput and discus - they're all winners to me.
Worse moments, watching any French person win a medal - they're all losers to me. This is followed closely by horse-events. Dunno about you people, but I find something sadly Freudian about horse people.

I reckon the best was the Iranian guy breaking the world record in weight lifting. 263.5kgs
And the worst I reckon was last night when the Australian ladies basket ball were given so many bad calls and lost the game because of the stupid 3rd rate fuckhead referees

One of the best moments for me would have to have been seeing Jana Pittman coming 5th in the 400m hurdles and have the whole media and her carrying on about her knee come to an end. Seeing her on the camera (once AGAIN) after the race and what she had to say about it all THIS time was just gold as she had nothing to blame except the fact that she just plain isn't good enough. SUCH an embaressment!
I think she is sooooo over-rated, corked knee or not, the olympics just showed her ability, and i think she should have a big think about going so public next time
Best moment: Jodie Henry winning 3 Gold, all WR
Worst: Sally Robbins

Worst: jana pittmen, she knew she wasnt gonna win so made up a bunch of bullshit 
Best: the kenyan 1-2-3 in the steeplechase, just the way the 3 worked as a team in a non team event.
