So long and thank you Laura :'(

Fencing has to be more complicated than it looks...right?

...it's like the two people just kind of pose at each other and twirl their sticks around, then one of them makes a lunging attack while waving around the stick like a crazy person and one of them scores a point.

Every. Fucking. Time.

I'm pretty sure you can boil down any sport to sound ridiculous like that

 

[killer_clank]

BBC and their montages always ramp up the damn tension.

 

[Gandie]

Just when I want to leave to actually get something done today, there's synchronized diving on. First medal for Germany incoming, hopefully.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Daley has to win gold.

We need it.

Come on Tom and the other guy.

Any french Gaffer using FranceTV.fr player ( which is awesome, with 12 feeds and a way to watch 4 feeds at the same time ) can tell me if it's kind of sloppy in full screen in a 1080p resolution ?
Watching this on my TV, and it has microcuts every 2 seconds, like not sufficient hardware, since the buffering is waaaaay up.
Turned my resolution to 720p and everything is butter smooth.
No idea what's the feed resolution though.

It works well on my computer.

My favorite non-US player at the moment. Best Korea's Kim Yeon Koung. 6'3", pretty cute, but has an arm like a Howlitzer. She scores like every other point for her team.

She bad.

Same here. It feels like she's carrying that team on her back. Shit is crazy.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I saw that Tom Daley doco the other night. The story with his dad is so tragic.

 

[Mr Cola]

BBC and their montages always ramp up the damn tension.

Im completely torn, on the one hand Tom has come across as a bit of a tool, full of himself, on the other hand i cant imagine his life and losing a dad at his age.

 

[killer_clank]

COME ON TIM

*tom

 

[Koodo]

YAS, more diving! What a sight. *.*

 

[Peru]

Can't help but feel I could save as many as the keepers in Handball. They save about 1 in 15 shots

They can get to 50% on a good day.

 

[Deadman]

Trying to watch 4 things at once, this is too much

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I just read that the Olympics were on tape delay. How long a delay?

 

[xptoxyz]

49er Sailing was cooler to watch than I knew, might check it out more over the week.

I'm going to ignore the dad thing so I can still consider him a bit of a tool.

 

[Koodo]

Lord, the Chinese enter so cleanly.

 

[davidsaurus]

Lin Dan is about to massacre some poor Irish man at Badminton in 5minutes.

He's a tool, but he is our tool.

Are those divers chilling in a jacuzzi?

 

[fuenf]

god damnit, (as expected) Radwanska lost to Serena. Maybe she and her sister can do something in the doubles at least.

 

[killer_clank]

Are those divers chilling in a jacuzzi?

yeah, it keeps their muscles warm while waiting about.

 

[Kjellson]

Diving is really scary. One mistake and it can end up really badly.

[Mr Cola]

I think out of most Olympians divers have some of the best looking bodies, dat toning

 

[Deadman]

Nice, robson serving for the match

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Watching the Olympics makes me annoyed at how they tried to force me - and everyone else - into traditional sports like track & field and swimming. I hated them all but would've loved things like archery.

It's mostly a low body fat percentage. Anyone can physically look like that if they wanted to.

 

[dc89]

Come on Tom!!!

 

[killer_clank]

/limited knowledge

 

[Vivalaraza]

They just jumped straight in...

Our school taught archery as part of the physical education curriculum. It wasn't something they offered as a competitive team sport or anything, but at least they exposed everyone to it.

Not at all sure if schools are willing to do that kind of stuff now that everyone's afraid of murders, though.

 

[dc89]

What is this?

Not as good as Suarez and A.Young.

 

[Psychotext]

I was under the impression that the Chinese were the favourites. That not right?

They are. Very tight and equal looking though.

 

[Mr Cola]

[Deadman]

1 arrow shootoff in the archery, thats brutal

 

[Peru]

Nice to see the stands for all the handball matches packed.

 

[Pacbois]

Watching the olympics reminds me that almost every sport except football is using Video reffering...

 

[Koodo]

Tom Daley is turning me into a BELIEVER.

 

[Miles X]

Hope Team GB get a medal in this!

 

[killer_clank]
