The Chinese rower made an oops of medal-losing proportions: He showed up at the third race (instead of his scheduled one, the second race) in singles. Missing the singles heat also nixed his chances at doubles.

Any guesses as to how many F-bombs his would-be partner dropped?

The good news is that the faux pas still puts China in gold medal contention for Biggest Understatement of the Beijing Olympics thanks to Wei Di, China’s director of water sports programs, who concluded: “This shows we still have some problems in team organization.”

Um . . .  yeah. Something like that.
