In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, why do the Ukrainian woman always have to yell and pout when they win or loose?

Question

I was watching the olympics in Fencing just now and I like was just wondering if the screaming and pouting is necessary if they happen to get the other opponent or when the opponent gets them. ITS ANNOYING LOLZ

Answer 1

Think they learned it from the Americans, who are world leaders in yelling and pouting. h**l, even presidents do it.

Answer 2

Cause they were originally men...hahah...

Answer 3

the shouting is a psychological edge over their opponent, its to intimidate them, and as for the pout wouldnt you be dissapointed if you trained for 4 years and then lost a point and were therefore closer to loosing the match that you have trained so hard for.

Answer 4

...and if they were russian, they'd be taking their shoes off and banging them on the judges' table?  (a la Nikita, for the youngsters viewing).

Anyhow, I admire your courage for criticizing a woman with a long sharp hunk of metal in her hands.  I never did that to any of my three ex-wives, and I can still sing baritone.

Answer 5

Probably they want to ANNOY their opponents??
