He congratulated Belgium for winning then started complaining about the track. Sounded to me like he was giving excuses. He lost because his chain broke...I think he should've left it at that, instead of trying to explain why he would've lost anyway! No, he didn't blame anything on the other guy (suprise suprise) but he did blame it on the track! I think Hughes is poor sport, a crybaby (look at his behavior during the Nationals!), and one of the people LEAST deserving of the opportunity to represent our Country! You're right, at least he went. Too bad those more deserving passed on the opportunity/were prevented from attending. I didn't expect much from him and made my opinion clear on here days before the race, he didn't disappoint!
And yes, I have whined about this and that too. But I wasn't chosen to represent the US in a race either! AND, I've got the common courtesy and tact to keep it to myself!
Forgive me if I'm coming across as tactless right now. I'm not trying to make enemies here. Flame on!
