Maybe because they would drown. You know. Water and all...

 

You mean they would drown?

 

I don't see the chest thumping going in most other sports like track and field. It is alright to exciting but give me a break doing it while the race is still going on.

No. I don't. That's the point.

 

So you have a problem with people who are proud that they are representing their country well. That's pretty much what the olympics is all about...pride for yourself and country.

I'm not sure of the exact event you are speaking of...but I don't see the difference between what you are talking about and simply slowing down to save energy. Seems to me like what this person was doing, just showing some pride while doing it.

Has Pujols ever admired a bomb before it cleared the wall? We both know the answer...

Clearly talking about Bolt setting a WR in 80 meters...

It's called showboating and I see enough of it in America with the NFL and NBA.

That crazy Chinese guy in Badminton... :lol:

Does he chest thump the crowd at Wrigley rounding the bases? Didn't think so.

Havent been watching much olympics lately, so I haven't see that yet.

Say the guy recently divorced from Manny. This should be fun...

Never seen him thumping his chest after doing it.

 

 

By the way I don't like it when hitters admire their HR either, Pujols included. Drop the bat and take your stroll around the bases.

Are you serious? Sitting there staring at a Home Run is showing up the pitcher just as much as a chest thump is.

Ran a 9.69 100 even though he was showboating at the 80 mark. Sickest sprint race ever...

There is difference in pride and the way some of them act.

There are celebrations like this all over the olympics. Watch the highlights. These athletes have a lot of pride in being the best in the World and emotions will get the best of anyone after winning a Gold Medal
