[Ohwiseone]

I don't understand what I am watching on NBCSN.


back to fencing.

 

[Pctx]

Jebus. Mr. Subway had better turn up the juice tonight.

 

[questionmark]

For those interested in (women's) handball, I recommend checking out the Norway - France match in one hour and forty minutes. Those are the two teams that met in the world cup final last year. Should be a good match.

Only torso hits are valid on fencing?

There are three different types of fencing, Epee, Foil, and Sabre, and the rules are different among all three of them.

 

[BolognaSoup]

What channel is fencing on??

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

What does it mean when the white light goes on in fencing?

One member of their family has a digit cut off from one of their hands.

Spoiler

I have no idea

 

[shadyspace]

Jesus Christ, Croatia came up real quick in this BB game.

 

[numble]

My region has crappy streams in crappy quality.

 

[Jal]

It's impossible to decide what to watch with 24 olympic channels (until the womens beach volleyball is on).

 

[The Last Wizard]

Table tennis!

Flipping bt table tennis and dressage

 

[Wes]

Thank heavens for slow motion replays because the reflexes in this fencing is crazy quick.

 

[fuenf]

wtf are Lisicki and Kerber doing in the doubles? 0-5 in the first set.

 

[ultron87]

Only torso hits are valid on fencing?

Foil: Just torso.
Saber: Torso + head (I think)
Épée: Anywhere on body.

Épée is best.

 

[Delio]

Finally getting to watch Fencing.

 

[B-Dex]

Current fencing is Ind. Foil. No idea on the rules though.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

And head, I believe.

Hum, they should allow foil hand hits too.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Tennis sports are so fucking awesome. Seriously... Tennis, table tennis, squash, badminton. All are beyond awesome at the highest levels.

Currently watching some Swede against a Nigerian in table tennis. Should be rooting for the Swede but I find myself cheering the Nigerian on.

The Swede (Jörgen Persson) is 46 years old and playing in his seventh olympics!

 

[B-Dex]

According to wikipedia Foil Fencing awards a point for hitting the target area by depressing the point of your foil. So basically stabbing in the torso area. Anywhere else is "off-target".

Apparently the same thing roddick and isner were doing?

The British cycling team were hyped up but they didn't deliver. Simple as that.

I don't think there was anything more GB could have done. No other teams wanted to help out with closing down breakaway attacks. The Germans had good reason to help out Britain with Greipel being such a good sprinter but they wanted to save their energy for the lead out. Problem was there was never going to be a lead out if they, or others didn't work with GB.

If GB was a team of 6 - 8 then the race would have been a different story. 4 men isn't enough to control a race they way they wanted to.

NBC is only allowed to show Olympic competition video on the internet to users in the United States and U.S. Territories.

Thanks, NBC.

not good

 

[Impeccable]

Are there many athletes who compete in both winter and summer Olympics like Clara Hughes?

I was impressed when I found out she's a world class cyclist and speed skater.

 

[Pollux]

What channel is fencing on?

 

[Arcteryx]

Damn, have to wait 3.5 hrs until beach volleyball with May & Walsh.

 

[Perro]

fencing stage is cool

 

[Manp]

What does it mean when the white light goes on in fencing?

i think it means an hit but outside of the allowed target

 

[Angry Fork]

Thanks, NBC.

=( That sucks. It was when Jason Lezak did that clutch come back for the gold.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I keep on getting this bullshit vertical striping error on the bbc iplayer.

 

[Firemind]

Haha, the BBC accuses the other cyclists of conspiring against GB.

 

[Mr Cola]

Lineker: "it must be tought to get a gold medal"

Ian Thorpe: "whys it tough?"

:O

 

[Meadows]

hope GBR wins a gold today. That'd be amazing.

I hope neither Phelps or Lockthe wins

 

[Envelope]

Time for Montenegro vs Great Britain in Handball!

 

[legacyzero]

Watching Ping-Pong

Fuck yeah.

 

[Big-E]

Haha, the BBC accuses the other cyclists of conspiring against GB.

This isn't the tour, its one fucking race. You go for broke. Someone breaks you chase, this isn't a 30 day event for the overall, its one stage. No way to hide the fact that Wiggins and co choked big time.

I understand, but it was just very disappointing.

I keep asking. No one answers.

 

[Leonsito]

[ryutaro's mama]

Damn, have to wait 3.5 hrs until beach volleyball with May & Walsh.

OK ITS TIME

 

[zero_suit]

[Hoo-doo]

I keep asking. No one answers.

It's a worldwide event. Every single poster probably has different methods of watching.

 

[ultron87]

I keep asking. No one answers.

Fencing is stream only in US right now as far as I can tell.

 

[Arcteryx]

Where?

Regular NBC

 

[Meadows]

400m Ind Med final

[Angry Fork]

Swimming time.
