Unlike true blue Singaporean Nicolette Teo who came last in Heats, beaten by a true blue Malaysian.

Another thing that pisses me off is why sinkees have this LOSER mentality - when we get to the finals of swimming but never win, everyone says WELL DONE. Well, we lost for fuck's sake, so be ashamed! See this in soccer all the time: Lose to some big country's youth team, still have the cheek to say 'good result'. We're the laughing stock of the world. It's high time we stop making excuses like 'we're so small, talent is scarce'. Winners never make any excuses for themselves!!

Exactly, you never hear the All Blacks giving such excuses. If they lose, they are cruxified back home by the press and the people. NZ got what? 3million people?

A lost is a lost, not such thing as a good lost.

He is so full of S***. Just weeks ago he quoted the Lexus IS250 advertisement of having to "UNLEARN and RELEARN" all that he knew when he sought advice from an Italian coach. What the F***? Months before the Olympics and he switched his technique?! He too free or what?!

And can someone teach this teacher that there is no such thing as UNLEARN in English.

Well, this piece of S*** just quoted on News 5 that Ladyluck did not shine on him this time in Beijing. What is incredible in his statement is that as a sportsman, he depend only on luck to win rather than on his personal skillset. He claim he will make a come back in 2012; guess he did not realise his career just ended with his crappy performance.

He change pattern here and there 6 months prior to the GAMES from the Italian coach. His other charges fared better and made it to the finals. For Lee, he fell to the rear. But ironically, He is too free to change here and there and also, he gets paid handsomely to train from SSC.

This teacher teach YINGLISH, don't know how he passed.

I think kudos to Tao Li for trying to integrate into Singapore society. She is still young. All the top 4 girls are about 4-5 years older than her. So, I think Tao Li has got potential for 2012 Olympics. As it is, she has made it to the Top 10 All-Time 100m Butterfly Women Swimmers in the world (btw, she is the only Asian in the Top 10 list):
