Why is Russia doing so bad at the olympics?

Question

Usually they are in the top 3 but this year their position is waaaaaaaaaay down.

Is it because they are too busy killing Georgians

Answer 1

Don't attack a group of people because of what's going on between it's government and another country's government. That just makes you look bad. I don't agree with that conflict or any conflict in the least bit, but the Olympians have nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

Chinese cheating. The other night should have been US gold, US silver and Russia bronze. The Russians are right under the Americans and they're doing a great job in gymnastics. But the Chinese girl who was the only one to fall on her behind got the bronze because of a massively inflated score.  

Answer 3

No it's not because they are busy killing Georgians, it's because other counties have better athletes this year.

Answer 4

Must be.

Answer 5

Haha. Is it weird that they're winning in these sports: shooting, archery, fencing, wrestling - among others, of course?

Answer 6

Russia should of gotten bronze in the individual gymnastics.

I'm glad for China though. They've really proved themselves this year. I respect them dearly.

Other than that maybe it's just a bad year for Russia..
