Sucks hard. RIP Champion!

Its all done for a great deal more than just the metal. Please remember what the entire Olympics represents. Its about world peace and in healthy competition the atheletes get to represent their country. Its a honor for them to even be there.

Exactly bro!!! Lack of national pride is part of this country's problem. Several of us on this board have risked our lives for this country and gotten a lot less. Shit most of us risk our lives evertime we throw a leg over a bike for nothing more that a grin...

Oh when I saw this video when it happened, you knew right away he had passed. Any number of injuries could have caused an instant death. What a terrible shame for a young man.

Sad...RIP. Looks like NBC has pulled the video finally.

I guess the link to the video is no longer working, anyone have another link? It's probably up on youtube already.
