I just wish we were a bit more competitive in general.

We take the piss out of America with their 'must win!' attitude, but I wish some of it would rub off on us.

We're too much of a "taking part that counts" society.

Wait for Rebecca Adlington!

But yes, the swimmers could learn from our rowers and cyclists (except this morning's fuck up) and go for the W rather than just taking part (losing).

 

[Oozer3993]

As bad as NBC's web streams are, their mobile app is fantastic.

 

[Nesotenso]

American medal count so far ?

 

[Peru]

Handball is a fantastic discovery.

I love Handball.

Big match in an hour, everyone should tune in (not too many other events then either).

If I was athletic then I'd be an absolute monster. When I am a part of competitive events I turn into some sort of barbaric viking on a warpath. I'd end up wanting to destroy my rivals for myself rather than the team... but I'm fat and lazy so no one has to endure that.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

The Fencing has been great. Even if it does remind of a game from the Tron Grid.

 

[Ohwiseone]

American medal count so far ?

I think 2

 

[toohectic]

Damn, Fencing is intense yo!

For real! This Nam girl is the ultimate back dasher. Too bad she lost.

 

[Shikoro]

American medal count so far ?

Nonexistent.

EDIT: Also, Lochte might dominate these Olympics for real.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Let that be a lesson to any future athletes thinking about parading those around before the race

ATH or bust

I raise my ATH-M50's to you good sir.

What is it? If it's a big event then it's got to involve Scandanavians, right?

 

[Dark Schala]

Always glad to see medal podium stuff. Everyone looks so darn happy.

GBR will do well in events they usually do well in. Cycling, rowing, sailing, heptathlon, horse stuff and so on. Simply entering people in every event won't make them competitive in every event.

American medal count so far ?

A gold in swimming and a silver in archery.

 

[sangreal]

[GhostWriter24]

A gold in swimming and a silver in archery.

Bronze in 400m Free too.

 

[krishian]

Montenegro leading the first half, yay!

Well, it is against GB, not leading would be pretty embarassing.

Just saw their mens team starts the tournament against France, ugh...

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Stop whining about your country and competitiveness

I am from India, fml

 

[Oozer3993]

I think 2

It's at least three.

Men's Team Archery (Silver)
Lochte 400 IM (Gold)
Vanderkay 400 Free (Bronze)

 

[numble]

A gold in swimming and a silver in archery.

Also a bronze in swimming (400 M freestyle).

 

[Diablohead]

Walk into the room and just see the american flag on the tv, lol what did I miss

[Mecha_Infantry]

US National Anthem sounds awesome today!

 

[MasterShotgun]

Bronze in 400m Free too.

Thanks.

 

[Meadows]

we have a handball team?

99% of GB don't know it's a sport

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

CoD clan meet on XBL after supper. besides that, nothing.

e: these handball replays are amazing

[Hoo-doo]

[Ohwiseone]

Men's Team Archery (Silver)
Lochte 400 IM (Gold)
Vanderkay 400 Free (Bronze)

Didn't know about the bronze, thanks. Again we don't get swimming finals till prime-time.

 

[Stuggernaut]

No TV service (I'm unplugged!) ... no proxy service that I can find to watch streams from outside USA.

Same issue I run into when I want to watch CBC for Hockey Night in Canada.

Can anyone here PM me a way I can watch the BBC stream from USA? I will love you forever!! Even longer if it also works for CBC next hockey season ;P

Lochte putting the hammer down on Phelps in 400IM.

 

[sangreal]

I give up nbc. your coverage is shitty enough to force me to watch it on your website

 

[MasterShotgun]

Ooooh, fencing final might come to a showdown.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

GBR will do well in events they usually do well in. Cycling, rowing, sailing, heptathlon, horse stuff and so on. Simply entering people in every event won't make them competitive in every event.

But that's what I don't understand. Why can't we be good at more events? No one seems to have the desire to properly succeed in the other events which is just bizarre to me.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

This fencing looks like TRON

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Is Fencing a big thing in Italy, or do you just have 3 of the best female Fencers around?

 

[Meadows]

lol Hanah Miley only trains in a crappy community pool (25m, v shallow)

 

[smallios74]

Yeah, i thought it was a probable yellow/red card in the footy?

[Macattk15]

Annnnd the fencing stream freezes with 30 seconds to go.

[Mr. Luchador]

TENSE

 

[Sickboy007]

Sudden death for fencing!

 

[Y2Kev]

NBC pretending it's still 3pm in London.

 

[Meier]

I appreciate the shorts by the Korean women's volleyball team.

Sudden death for fencing!

Was so glad to see the Italian woman win. That Korean girl with her squealing after every point was horribly obnoxious. Huge come from behind win for the Italian.
