Daley and Waterfield should pull out the John Smiths 'Running Bomb' dive for the final round.

It's 2012. And yes, It's an ugly logo and does look like that. get over it.

No man, it's "ruining my enjoyment of the games." *dramatic eyeroll*

It works well on my computer.

I'd like to recommend the Beach Volleyball match between Brazil and Germany. Brazil will probably win but the German team is absolutely stunning!

I sometimes wish I didn't turn on Judo so I could watch other events. But Judo is too much fun.

 

[Brazil]

I have to say, I don't fucking understand competitive judo. How do they score points? Nobody is scoring shit.

There are three "levels" of points. Yuko, waza-ari, and ippon. The first is when the fighter throws the opponent and he lands on his side; the second is when the opponent lands partially on his back; and the final, which is basically a knock-out, is the perfect move that makes the opponent land completely on his back.

It's also possible to score an ippon by strangling the opponent.

And then there are the shidous, which are penalties given out to fighters who are avoiding conflict or faking attacks. When a fighter gets two penalties, the opponent gets a yuko. Three penalties, he gets a waza-ari. Finally, the fourth penalty ends the fight in favor of the opponent.

There are also multiple rules the fighters can't break, like not grabbing the opponent's leg to initiate an attack, and stuff like that.

[masud]

The US has to have a shot at gold Archery right? We have the #1 ranked guy.

Alright up until that last dive. Execution was a bit sloppy and it resulted in poor entry.

The Chinese will be all over that now, they are at the top of their game so it seems!

 

[Deadman]

welp, china wins

 

[Xun]

Ah shit.

 

[Kobalty]

Anyone know what the weight lifters are sniffing before going out on stage???

 

[Shadow780]

they fucked up.

 

[Koodo]

#oops

No errors allowed when competing against China in diving.

 

[LTWheels]

Typical. Knew we would blow it.

 

[Miles X]

How many dives left????

 

[Deadman]

[killer_clank]

It didn't help them in the team competition.

 

[dc89]

How many dives left????

Do they do 6 dives each?

 

[swordfishtrombones]

For anyone watching Judo, what's that track (synthy, mid-tempo) that they play during the introduction of the participants?

Shame for Dex Elmont - the guy was exhausted during the golden score. He looked like he had given up already after the first minute or so.

could be ammonia

e: it gets you EXTREMELY focused and ready to kick some ass

I always cheer for the better looking weightlifting chicks/the ones who don't look juiced to the point where they dicks. tehy're all juicing to some extent, but I root for the chubbier ones vs the ones with negative 5% body fat.

 

[pappe]

Fucking hell! These Chinese are good at everything!

 

[killer_clank]

this is too fucking tense.

 

[Soyongdori]

Fucking hell! These Chinese are good at everything!

Except soccer.

 

[Miles X]

I knew somehow we'd stuff it up! :-(

 

[Vivalaraza]

Why do we always mess up

 

[killer_clank]

I knew somehow we'd stuff it up! :-(

[Brazil]

Except soccer.

For now.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Suddenly this sport is making sense to me.

I'm pretty sure my ISP is throttling my connection right now so I can't get a live feed. Thanks!

¡Echele, venga!

 

[John Dunbar]

let's just say they're doping and we can feel better.

 

[Pacbois]

1080p resolution ( your screen resolution ) ?

Yup, smooth 3450 kbps, sometimes drop to 720p for a few seconds but then comes back to 1080p

 

[dc89]

BBC with the slow-mo replay of the coach falling over?!

HAHA!

 

[MasterShotgun]

Just woke up. Time to watch some more archery.

USA can pull through with a medal, just gotta keep it up.
