I just read the Russian Olympic commentators are saying pretty bad things about other country's athletes such as "show us your crooked legs", "hope she messes up", "we won't bother to listen to the American anthem if they win" and if I remember right they called one athlete full on "ugly. They also said it's "unfortunate" when an American (or others) win. Pretty bad.

Where did you get THAT from?

I would be interested to read more of the article where this information came from.

Eh, if it's true, we shall rise above it and I'm sure our athletes will do us proud. I was so delighted that our Luge team and coaches had "adopted" the sole Indian Luger - they have taken him under their wings so he isn't so alone. THAT'S America.

Where exactly did you read this?

I'm wondering, also.
