Things That Have Annoyed You In The Games
Dodgey officiating has really annoyed me, where do these people get their licences to judge at the olympic games.

Drug cheats, surely they know they are going to get caught, why bother turning up to disgrace themselves, their country and tarnish the olympic name.

And finally, in water polo it really Sh!ts me when they baulk so much. hy dont they just have a shot, they waste so much time!

Agree about drug cheats. Also the huge number of empty seats in the stands, these are the Olympics, everything should be packed!
