Our last strong weightlifter won Bronze today (that is 5 now) and the female weightlifter who I thought would get a medal didn’t do well at all. This is probably it for us unless one of the boxers wins something (very little hope there).

The sad thing is that there are many good Armenian athletes who represent other countries. Like for instance ironically our wrestler, who has Russian name, Denis Forov lost to Sweden’s Ara Abrahamyan who is originally from Gyumri. Typical Armenian reality.

Anyway, there seem to be more than 25 athletes from Armenia according to http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/index.html . Do you know what happened with those 12 athletes not included in your post?

Anyway, the athletes are trying as hard as they can, and would have done so without money on the table.

Oh, that’s nice. Way to really move relations further. It is always a good idea to stereotype and threaten an entire group.

I’m sure that your deep knowledge how how turks are comes from many years of interacting with them. Thanks for sharing your expertise with the world.

They feel threatened by our intelligence, our power, and our ability to put ourselves above anything they have ever done or will ever do. It is not our fault they feel less of a people because we do everything that they do 10 times more superior. If turks had real men among their population they would step up and admit to what has occurred. Unfortunately they are afraid of the consequences and use the wimpy American base in turkey as leverage. None of them deserve to live!
