We? 'em?
Something wrong with affiliating yourself with an athlete?
Yes. It's bad enough to do it with a team that you basically have no physical affiliation with but an athlete?
You must feel the same way about having idols?
That athlete is representing the same country as the poster lives in(?). That's enough of a bond to share and affiliate yourself with.
Heck I'm a passionate person and I fist pump and yell at home watching the TV rooting for my team/athlete/country/idol. Maybe not everyone feels the same way but I don't think its something worth rolling eyes over.
Or maybe itis and myself (and others) just don't care to be embarrassed over it
Robbie Grabarz came fourth but had the same score as third, how do they decide splits?
Ashton Eaton down to his last attempt at 2.01 as he knocks it down again. And third time lucky.
