After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

This is such a sad thing!!! And it is such a shame!!! 21 years!!! RIP!!!
The thing to me is that some execs of the IOC HAVE to be held accountable for this disaster! I remember already some month ago to have read comments of athlets and coaches from Germany to complain about this track being designed WELL too fast!!!! Everybody knew there was a MAJOR risk that somebody would die and this is NOT normality in this sport! This is just sad!!! |
