Alright, Spence. Come on, buddy.

Hell yeah! 1 round left and he's got a good lead. Just got to be careful now.

Also, I laughed out loud on the one punch thrown by the Brazilian that seriously looked like an uppercut straight out of Mortal Kombat. Also, his attempt at bouncing off the ropes was comical.

 

[Dark Schala]

Listening to boxing without the commentary is pretty nice because you can hear what the coaches are saying to the boxers.

 

[Brazil]

Brazil x Tunisia closing the day for me.

 

[linsivvi]

is there a step by step guide on how to watch the bbc stream??

1. Buy a ticket to the UK, preferably somewhere outside London.
2. Find the cheapest hotel that has free internet.
3. Profit.

Dear Americans/Canadians.

What do you think of field hockey? Given ice hockey is popular there - if you're a NHL fan are you digging this?

Nope. Really bored watching it.

Best Korea is making some noise in the snatch, clean and jerk competition. That a biathletic competition, not triathletic because I'm all about the Oxford commas.

Another medal for The Glorious Peoples!

Boo, this happened like an hour ago.

That round was a bit more exciting. But Spence is too quick. Unless he chokes, he'll win handily.

Hockey game is quite good. Should be even better now that the US got one back.

 

[nny]

[ElectricBlue187]

I've never watched much Volleyball but other than that great match against Worst Korea (women's indoor) the US just seems to murder everyone we play

 

[Dark Schala]

Good work, Spence.

 

[Jamie OD]

Irish guy about to compete in boxing. Let's make it 3 for 3.

North Korean lifter said that Kim Jong Il gave him the power. Best Korea leader still getting it done beyond the grave.

Did he actually? Lol, that's brilliant.

 

[Jackson50]

Good work, Spence.

Yeah. He looked exceptional. Defense was superlative. And his footwork was great.

 

[Wes]

Damn it hit her foot!

 

[ElectricBlue187]

North Korean lifter said that Kim Jong Il gave him the power. Best Korea leader still getting it done beyond the grave.

Maybe that's why he died, he sacrificed his amazing sports prowess for the good of the NK Olympic team

 

[twofold]

is there a step by step guide on how to watch the bbc stream??

Could get a VPN. I use Overplay.net and it works really well. Costs $10 a month, though.

 

[flippedb]

Ana Gomez qualified in spot 16, for Women's Gymnastics. So proud to see a girl representing the country up there.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

North Korean lifter said that Kim Jong Il gave him the power. Best Korea leader still getting it done beyond the grave.

well, at least actually Kim Jong Il existed

 

[Big-E]

Did he actually? Lol, that's brilliant.

James Duthie on TSN in Canada mentioned that he said something like "my parents weren't here with me but I had my coach and Kim Jong Il to help me"

 

[theignoramus]

Lithuania ball team doin work.

 

[Jackson50]

The American fighters have finished for today. Murray has a bye tomorrow. But Browne vs Hooper should be an exciting bout.

 

[elty]

Uh. CTV just posted this. :x

Pretty resourceful.

I guess even etch and Sktech is better than a playbook.

lol at Spain, don't they also win U21 last year?

 

[Alebrije]

Spian`s football olimpic team is the EPIC FAIL of this day and maybe of all olympics games it only could be surpased if U.S. Basketball team does note get the gold medal.

Good for Honduras !!!!

 

[Koodo]

Uh. CTV just posted this. :x

LOL. How adorable.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

The US beach volleyball team know it's 2012, not 1992, right?

[Wafflecakes]

Feel so sorry for Jordan Weiber. The system is so lame....ho can you rationalize that the 4th highest qualifier shouldn't get in the individual final which is supposed to be the top 24. So much for the best of the best.

-.-

 

[Levyne]

Is there a limit to the amount of times you can bump the ball? Just noticed that it always seems to be 3 hits (dig, set , spike?). Can you deviate from that?

 

[2Crisis]

Rogers and Dalhausser doin work. Seems so weird out of all sports Beach Volleyball is the one the US is pretty much the best at.

 

[fuenf]

Field Hockey: Germay 2 USA 1

that wasnt too bad actually and the German team seems to be genuinely exicted!

 

[Nista]

If only they were made of Denim. Oh man.

With the backwards baseball cap and the safety glasses he looks like a redneck from the 80s.

But they have giant Billy Corgan, so they cannot lose!

 

[Wes]

Is there a limit to the amount of times you can bump the ball? Just noticed that it always seems to be 3 hits (dig, set , spike?). Can you deviate from that?

Three is the max and the typical amount but you can send it straight back or if you see a space send it back on the second.

Good for Honduras !!!!

While it is embarassing there are far more superstars on the Brazil team.

 

[fuenf]

While it is embarassing there are far more superstars on the Brazil team.

but you shouldnt need superstars to beat Honduras

 

[Diprosalic]

Is there a limit to the amount of times you can bump the ball? Just noticed that it always seems to be 3 hits (dig, set , spike?). Can you deviate from that?

of course you can. you try to block the others team ball coming over the net resulting in sending the ball back after just one touch. 3 is the limit though.

 

[Jamie OD]

Irish guy won but the nerves got to him in the third round. Not sure of his chances in the later rounds.

 

[Majine]

Badminton mixed doubles: Japan vs Canada. GANBATTENE NIPPON!

 

[Shogmaster]

well, at least actually Kim Jong Il existed

Heyo~

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Cricket is only popular worldwide because of disgusting imperialism

Yeah, that disgusting imperialism forcing people to enjoy sports.

 

[Levyne]

of course you can. you try to block the others team ball coming over the net resulting in sending the ball back after just one touch. 3 is the limit though.

I was thinking maybe it was different if the ball didn't fully cross the net

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Is there a limit to the amount of times you can bump the ball? Just noticed that it always seems to be 3 hits (dig, set , spike?). Can you deviate from that?

Yes 3 is the limit unless it hits the net I think. There isnt a minimum

 

[Shantom]

but you shouldnt need superstars to beat Honduras

Of course, it's a huge upset but I just mean that Spain weren't expected to cruise to Gold here.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Yeah, that disgusting imperialism forcing people to enjoy sports.

8 of the top 10 sports in the world originate in Britain and countless others are descended from those sports. Why does he single out Cricket?

Because he's an idiot, as was the whole Basketball vs XYZ argument.

 

[Wiggum2007]

It's sad you can't see the Olympic flame from outside the stadium
