How is VN doing in the Olympics? will we win some medals??

um... Okay! LOlz i haven't heard of any news

i saw the vietnam ppl in the march of nations or whatever......

$hit we suck at the olympics. oh well, we gonna get better soon when VN gets a little richer in resources for its athletes. lol. im proud of the vnese guys in the 200m freestyle swimming . he got the 3rd worst time of all the 8 heats. at least he didnt come in last. .

Damn how sad.. we killed the aseans only to lose to the world ....sadddd

Dude we are a poor country, we don't have the money to waste like investing it for the best sports medicine and the hiring expensive international coaches. At least we won one medal in the olympics which was last year.

I mean we did outrank India last year and they are a wannabe Super power, so we aren't THAT bad since we are pretty poor you know.

There's a viet dude competing in olympic badminton and he's paired with a chinese dude that immigrated to america when he was 17, and the viet was 3. now they're both together representin the USA WHOO FREEDOM BABY!!! and this badminton ain't no backyard barbecue type badminton. it's fast and furious. like a car. : ) i think their names were kevin and howard

Badminton is freaking TIITE, i just started playing a few weeks ago with my cousin, THIS STUFF IS WAYY MORE FUN THEN TENNIS, and im talking inside badminton(real stuff) not some backyard lamo boring badminton. So much technique, u can even use ur kung fu skills, it scares me when my cousin smashes the birdie, he did it once and it hit my thigh, ouch, its like as fast as an airsoft gun lol.

Isn't he Chinese? His name is Kevin Qi Han right?

Oh well, maybe in 10 or 20 years,, still is sad though

hey....what event/events is Viet Nam participating in??

i dunno which one was the chinese and which one was viet but the thing is they's in it together and the birdie they gotta hit weighs no more than 2 pennies but man they were playing against the news reporter and the guy was like "yeah check me out i can hit this baby" and he hit it then the chinese or viet guy he hit it back and the reporter ducked lol

Well?? any medals yet??

nope. don't hope

Wow, even Canada has a bronze medal

are you surprised that Canada got a medal and Vietnam didn't? I am not simply because canadian athletic program is much much better than vietnam's.

my prediction: vietnam gonna get 2 medals. and they'll be the purest of gold. with delicious chocolate inside... at the dollar store.. on their way home.

Vietnam is still a long way from getting medals at the Olympics. They were lucky to get one silver medal back in Sydney 2000.

I guess they are both crap, cause I heard on the radio today, they said Canadain amateur sports funding was really sad...

a silver??! LEET LEET i wonder if it was filled with chocolate

if the funding for the Canadian delegates was that sad then that makes the funding for vietnam even worse.

But VN killed the Aseans in the SEA games 2003..

what what???!!

WE are in the olympics hell yea.... haha imma start watching then...
so far i've been voting for the asian not america lol... they seem too confident and brag about it.

How the heck can you cheer for a team that has soo far won no medals at all??

vietnam will win at least one medal this year

there are more vietnamese competing for america than the entire team from VN. VN typically competes in events like badmiton, table tennis, and taekwondo.

because vn competed against a bunch of weak countries from southeast asia.

Yes, lets hope it's the mens 100 M sprint .. the only medal that really matters


yes agreed those Aseans are weak!

lol, you think vietnam will beat those black guys from america?

who said i was cheering for them, i just wanna see them in the olypics lol...
i was cheering for south korea and china only, too bad they both lost yesterday in the all around..

vietnam was predicted to not win any medal at this olympics. i think they all got eliminated already.

You never know, they may just pull it off as a big miracle... ---

i wanna see the badminton tournaments, when do they start.?

I don't think vietnam is even participating in the 100 m sprint event. Vietnam sent 11 athletes to participate in 8 events: shooting, track and field (hight jump and 800 m race), canoeing, weightlifting, table tennis, swimming, rowing, and taekwondo. out of those 8 events, shooting, canoeing, weightlifting, swimming, rowing, and table tennis got eliminated. i don't think vietnam can out jump anyone in the high jump event nor can they out run anyone in the 800 m event. the only chance vietnam will get any medal is from taekwondo. their only silver medal won in Sydney 2000 was from taekwondo.

Taekwondo is the sport that Vietnam hope to win medal this time. Our best candidate Nguyen Van Hung was scheduled to fight on August 29. Bad thing that he haven't fully recovered from his hurt which he got while training in Iran. The Taekwondo competition hasn't started yet, so just wait a little longer. Hung said Spanish would be one of his strongest opponents.
Our Taekwondo team has arrived at Athen this morning.

Its too bad Vn didn't spend more money and send more athletes, what do you think they are doing with the money??

umm, uhh, buy big houses, nice cars and other luxury things for themselves. those corrupted officials/bastards commies.

Vietnamest govn't doesn't want to spend a large amount on sports. Vietnam is still poor, the national budget isn't big enough to cover all the expenses. There are many other reasons as well, one of those is the corruption of Vnmese government.

Exactly, that was the answer I was seeking , --

so have we won any thing yet?

Nope, by the look of things I don't think we will

I think Khao Nguyen from the San Jose area is playing table tennis for the United States. I like to know how well he is doing at the olympics but can't find sh$t on him. I heard table tennis is playing friday/today so I might get a chance to check his game out.

He played already and was eliminated by an Aussie. His name is Khoa Nguyen.

thinks and darn. Man, we need to start repping at the olympics.
