Rio Olympics 2016

[Scrumpet]

I don't watch the Olympics, but considering how well we did in 2012, we're a bit disappointing here aren't we? Only 1 gold so far. Like I said, I know very little about it though.

Better off after 3 days than last time apparently

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Cheers for posting those.

Forgot to mention as before, but those are CET times, so, deduct an hour for UK time.

 

[bosnian_red]

Brilliant. A brush with fame!

Also used to train in the same swim team as her like 10 years ago (just a different age group) so think thats pretty cool too!

 

[We'veGotDeleAlli]

Ahh yeah, thought I remembered us having a slow start last time too! Just wasn't certain. Maybe all the sports we're good at come later?

 

[K2K]

Fell asleep and missed the 200m freestyle final as well as the Pogba announcenent.

Definitely setting an alarm for Phelps v Le Clos. Their 2012 race was one of the best I've ever seen. Here is hoping the result is the same.

My brush with Olympic Fame

She was a couple of years behind me in school, I was friends with her brother.

 

[Madthinker]

Craig Joubert trying to ruin sevens as well as 15-aside.

 

[GloryHunter07]

So why was that Judo player disqualified today?

Edit - it seems for an illegal arm lock:

Time Trial tomorrow, super excited for it. Hope my man Dumoulin can take the gold!

Well at least he apologized to the Brazilian fans of the sport...is that an error in the report or did he just forget which country he was representing?

I dont imagine there were many Lebanese Judo fans in the crowd!

 

[JustAFan]

True, but still would they really be bothered about what he did?

 

[Bubz27]

Just had a little boob slip in the women's synchronised diving. And I mean little.

How many times did you replay it?

 

[Bubz27]

How many times did you replay it?

Twice. That's all it took.

 

[JustAFan]

Twice. That's all it took.

Dayum you got stamina

 

[Bubz27]

Dayum you got stamina

3rd one today so was just procedural really.

 

[Rado_N]

I love how after a few hours of watching any given event I feel qualified to discuss it like I know what I'm on about.

 

[villain]

The women's American gymnastics team are on another level

Simone Biles what an athlete

 

[Rado_N]

Why is the pool green?!

 

[eggwithsideburns]

Some of the swimsuits are very revealing. I'm not complaining though.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Why is the pool green?!

Can only be lack of chlorine. Apparently they tested it and it's "safe".

[Twisted_Woody]

Canada beats Germany in Women's Football!

First time in 13 attempts.

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

So...I started the day with the final round of Eventing, and cooked dinner whilst trying to follow both the women's 10m diving final and the gymnastics. The Olympics is a great time.

Now just catching up on the highlights from GB's 9-1 win over Brazil in the hockey.



ETA: They'll be adding some piranha to that green pool tomorrow.

 

[jojojo]

Anybody watching the weightlifting?

 

[Cheesy]

Serena Williams out in straight sets. Been a number of shocks in the tennis so far...not a good tournament at all for the Williams sisters either.

 

[Cheesy]

Christ, the physique of the weightlifters is absurd.

 

[VeevaVee]

Just waiting for one of their arses to fall out

 

[RobinLFC]

Feck yes, Pieters with a new national record and goes to the final as sixth seed, on the 100m free no less

 

[RobinLFC]

PHELPS! Most likely the best race of this year's swimming, unreal tension and ending.

What a boss he is.

 

[Cooksen]

Why is the pool green?!

Sun yang peed in it

The women's American gymnastics team are on another level

Simone Biles what an athlete

Was sitting in the livingroom watching the olympics with my mother, and the gymnastics were on, which is a sport i never pay any attention to.
But damn, the americans were ridicolous!
Couldn't stop watching.
Have no idea how the point system is, but could easily see the were atleast a level over everyone else.
Biles is fantastic.... And i'd easily let their team captain have me, twice!

What's crazy to me is each one individually could be the top performer in any other nation. They're amazing!

I think the points system is based on level of difficulty X 10. So if you perform a 5.8 difficult routine, the most amount of points you can get is 15.8 and reductions are made from there.

I have to go back and watch them again, I'm still in awe

 

[Sigma]

21 gold medals for Phelps, what a legend

 

[jojojo]

Looks like sewage!

Well, I don't think you can blame the divers, it must be pretty scary coming down from 10m up.

Bronze for van Breggen in the Woman's time trial. Another Dutch rider could have challenged for the gold I think, but she fecked up halfway through. Hoping for more Dutch gold today!
