Just sitting here watching some replays from the Paralympics.
I am currently watching the Men's Little People, or whatever the politically correct term is, javelin throw.
And a couple of them appear to be coping quite the attitudes...
One of the workers of the event was saying something to one of the athletes and it "appeared" as though he just waved her off. :o

Another athlete made an at the time first place throw, and turned around and ran back towards the audience pumping his fists and then made a slashing motion across his throat.
EXCUSE ME???
I don't know about where he comes from, Iran, but to me that's always been a threatening motion. :o

Omg. Why would he make such a gesture??? How odd. :o

[disneydream06]

My first thought was, that is so Iranian.
No respect for anyone else. :o

[madamoiselle_sambuca]

Was the athlete from there?? :o

[disneydream06]

He was.

Dear lawd...

whoa, that is quite dramatic! Iran is a tough country though, hard to know what he was thinking.

It's sad, but my first thought was, I didn't expect anything less from Iran. :(

[kaishin108]

Right! What a messed up country. :-/

Again, sad to say, but religion will do that to you. :(
