GB might go up to silver :O

 

[Brinbe]

And the US up two sets now... they got this.

 

[Nesotenso]

Well US Men's Gymnastics can't do it but at least we can take solace knowing Women's Gymnastics are going to crush everyone at Finals.

what about all around and individual for the men ?

 

[Victory Red]

And the US up two sets now... they got this.

That Hooker is a beast

 

[Wes]

oh man its so close between 3rd and 5th

surely surely we cant dick another event up D:

Unlike the diving the Men's gymnasts weren't expected to get anywhere close to the medals before the competition.

 

[szaromir]

Destiny Hooker, that's a badass name.

 

[Mr Cola]

Unlike the diving the Men's gymnasts weren't expected to get anywhere close to the medals before the competition.

Also unlike the divers the gymnasts seem nice blokes

 

[Meadows]

shit one of the GB gymnasts fell

shit shit shit

 

[Big-E]

Team GB falls, oh no. Was hoping they could get that medal. Love seeing long shots medal.

 

[Psychotext]

Sounds like one of the brits fucked up.

Edit - Fuck.

 

[Shadow780]

Kobe knows indoor volley tights are superior.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Epee fencing is kind of boring. It's too slow for my liking. I think I've settled on Foil being my favorite style. Lots of crazy foot movement going on, but hits aren't occurring every 3 seconds like in Sabre.

For now, Foil > Sabre > Epee.

 

[bgbball31]

Kobe gif from the volleyball game. I missed it, so happy someone did this.

 

[Miles X]

Ugh, come on GB don't lose this!!

 

[Deadman]

GB saw japan starting to choke so they had to do the same to keep it fair

 

[smiggyRT]

Team GB falls, oh no. Was hoping they could get that medal. Love seeing long shots medal.

Massive shame

 

[Nesotenso]

The BBC commentators are so fixated on the British. Glad to see it's not all that different from the US.

lol awesome

 

[Pacbois]

Lol, French TV hyping the Cross-Country like a Youtube Blooper video.

 

[Meadows]

still in 3rd though

COME ON FUCK UP UKRAINE

fucking people shouting USA USA USA

they're in last, let people who have a chance concentrate

 

[Xun]

It's annoying how the BBC aren't showing Team GB much.

 

[LTWheels]

GB chock time.
Probably come last now.

We'll happily support other countries... but we don't give a shit about anyone else when our boys / girls are around.

 

[elty]

Because this is China we're talking about here. Their meddling with the records to push one of their female gymnasts into the 2008 Olympics is the one thing (as well as the opening ceremony stuff) that springs to mind (even if they were cleared of wrongdoing - other people heavily doubt the IOC's decision on that matter). That alone makes me distrust them even if it is just a small amount.

I just randomly google and found there are 28 athletes in track and field suspended in US from 2004-2008 for doping.

But wait they are American so if they lose it must be the bias judge or their opponent dope!

USA would have really benefited if they could have pushed in Katlyn Ohashi, who is 1 year too young but probably top in the world.

Yeah well this time, all the chinese girls are 20 years old. (if they cheated in Beijing, they would be 19 right now), meanwhile USAs team are 16-17 yo. So i guess, this time, no one can complain.

Regarding the record Sarah Sjöström beated at the age of 15, it was a 9 year old record, made by Dutch Ingji De Brun, a woman, who i always found, a lil bit shady.

That's because the British people pay for that coverage, and people who illegally access it are not their target audience.

they can't, they don't control the feed

UGH GUYS! THIS BRITISH FEED I'M STEALING ISN'T FOCUSING ON THE NON BRITS ENOUGH!

 

[davidsaurus]

It's annoying how the BBC aren't showing Team GB much.

As they said, the pictures aren't in their hands.

 

[elseanio]

It's annoying how the BBC aren't showing Team GB much.

They're not in control of the pictures

 

[Jensen]

I know.

I was referring to the feed.

I'm not American, so I don't care about how they stack up against China.

 

[Maleficence]

Was really hoping our boys would get that bronze.

Huge props to them for a great attempt though.

 

[Kobalty]

As always our athletes choke when it matters c'mon lads win some medals

 

[Sarcastic Response]

I'm not American and so I don't care.

Well that's obvious.

 

[Mr Cola]

this is way too fucking close, my poor nerves

 

[numble]

GB Clutch.

 

[Psychotext]

Nice!

The Chinese girls team sucks this time around compared to 2008 because they can't cheat away from home

 

[Miles X]

GB trying to claw back tha Bronze

 

[LTWheels]

4th place GB here we come

 

[Meadows]

[Mr Cola]

I don't know if it's different commentators, but there are some BBC streams available on eurovisionsports for EBU members.

 

[Brinbe]

Wow, stuck that landing.

 

[owlbeak]

Go GB!!

 

[Nesotenso]

We'll happily support other countries... but we don't give a shit about anyone else when our boys / girls are around.

it's amusing because people give US commentators a lot of shit. The BBC are just as bad.

 

[elty]

I thought UK still has a chance at the bronze? They are only behind Ukraine right?

 

[Koodo]

Kristian Thomas is a big guy for a gymnast. 5'11". *.*
