    Hello guys,

    Most of you probably don't care about this post, but the Japanese 7 player rugby team has kicked the All Black team (and the French team this night) during the olympic championship. This team is a very good surprise !

    The last world cup also shown a very good Japanese team !

    I wonder how many professionnal Japanese Rugby player there are, but probably not many ! Which is pretty impressive !

    Out of Topic, MICHAEL PHELPS IS DAMN AWESOME ! :)

    The only sport I'm watching is judo, this olympics have been really good so far for judo, quite a lot of surprises and very high skill in general.

    For the moment, French judokas didn't shown a nice judo. They most of the time criticize the referee decisions. It is not a good attitude. But I am waiting for Teddy Riner !

    Before this Olympics, I had never watched Rugby 7s. It is fast, and the player needs other skills, which is very interesting ! As you say, it is amazing to watch.

    I bet on England on this one (even if I am French haha), we'll see what will happen :)

    Teddy Riner did it again! This dude is a machine! My favorite quote from his interview: " I said I would do it, I did it. When I say something I do it."

    Yes Skarpo, Teddy did it again ! This guy is amazing ! And his state of mind is great ! This is truly a great sportman ! Nothing to be compared to the French swimmers, trying to justify there poor results with stupid interviews....

    Been great to watch so many of the sports. Caught a lot of weightlifting, strangely compelling viewing.

    Poor Lutalo Muhammad, he was awesome, so sad in that interview, my heart went out to him, but that's the magic of sport!

    The prime minister himself dressed as mario.
    That was a nice touch at the end of the closing ceremony.

    There are a lot of professional rugby player in Japan. They regularly poach ANZ also ran or past their prime players. The sevens team always puts in a strong performance but this olympics was just amazing. I hope they can field a team this strong for the 7's series.
    That Fiji won is no shock. At the 7's here in HK they win so much they should be sick and tired of winning.
