Man, this match is not going well for NK at all. Just got red-carded.

 

[ag-my001]

Both of these fencers are tired of this ref.

 

[John Dunbar]

Everything about the Olympics and sports is arbitrary. Not sure what you are getting at.

I must say I am equally confused by your argument.

 

[Kikujiro]

How do you know he's american?

Because it's always them who make a big about the medal table?
I really don't understand why people care so much, enjoy the Olympics and what these amazing athletes can achieve.

Damn Choi's style is so strange yet so fascinating.

 

[Brazil]

Both of these fencers are tired of this ref.

Every single fencer is tired of every referee ever, haha.

 

[Wafflecakes]

While we are at it, should also make team sport with more than 2 players a multiplier of # in team/2. So team gymnastic = x2.5, football = x5.5 etc.

Disagree with that.

All gold medals should be equal since team events really are not more sought after in general. I mean.....in the winter Olympics the Woman's singles figure skating is by far the most sought after medal.

Don't forget to incorporate the # of golds : # of athletes ratio for each country! A country that sends 9 athletes and they all win gold is fuck awesome. A country that sends 500 athletes and 9 win gold is LOSER!!

lol.......(Britain would come in last)

 

[fuenf]

Koreans are awesome at fencing, they might not win but they sure deliver all the drama!

 

[Sky Chief]

Glad USA won the gymnastics.

What happened China? Couldn't fake the birth certificates in time again? LOL

 

[Sianos]

Every single fencer is tired of every referee ever, haha.

Every single athlete ever is tired of every referee ever.

Ever.

 

[DrM]

That ref must be a commie, he likes red cards

:lol You're an ignorant ass if that's your reasoning for him being american. SMH

 

[MasterShotgun]

A third red card. Those are killing Choi.

 

[Dark Schala]

So many red cards (not referring to football)

Every single athlete ever is tired of every referee ever.

Ever.

Especially footballers.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

This is the most aggressive fencing I've ever seen. This Korean guy is so upfront.

SMH.

Man, this match is not going well for NK at all. Just got red-carded.

Sweet freedom, liberty and crying eagles!!

USA!USA!

 

[fuenf]

holy shit, Korea will quit the sport of fencing!

 

[Wafflecakes]

:lol You're an ignorant ass if that's your reasoning for him being american. SMH

Well I am actually multinational. American/Canadian

Winter Olympics are glorious.

 

[Impeccable]

Glad USA won the gymnastics.

No, the US just manage to cycle well.

Spoiler

Am I doing this right?!

 

[MasterShotgun]

The Egyptian goes to the gold medal match.

When you assume it makes an ASS out of U and ME. Please don't do it.

 

[Yen]

I had tickets to USA vs NK. Didn't go. £400 for a boat purely to see Hope Solo and Alex Morgan? Nah.

 

[Subitai]

Oh, I just noticed the wall of shame in the OP.

Hey, you're prolific lol.

Anywho, I thought of you when I stumbled upon this fan girl's tumblr of Nathan Adrian.

Enjoy if you haven't yet =P

Uh.... Did you not read his post or something?

 

[Wafflecakes]

Uh.... Did you not read his post or something?

I know. I am avoiding direct confrontation lol.

Survival instincts and all that as a junior.

 

[MaritalWheat]

Fencers don't take losing well huh.

 

[DrM]

Animator on fencing is awesome

 

[Sarcastic Response]

Is fencing on BBC?

 

[Dark Schala]

This fencing is bruuuutal.

here's what the game stats looks like in North Korea

This made me laugh harder than it should have.

 

[B-Dex]

Koreans whining about fencing again. Not surprised.

 

[Threi]

The athletes will be happy if they get a medal, the nationalistic cheerleaders and media will use whatever metric makes their nation look better. How it has been and will continue to be.



That being said GO CANABRONZE

 

[Tea and Toast]

Why are all the the Olympic kits so ugly. Most of them look straight out of the 80's. Team Gb have the nicest one by far.

 

[Dr.Acula]

That point was great. :lol

This fencing match is pretty good.


Hahaha, wonder if they're going to run into this situation like they did in Vancouver?

14 per person!

Quick, GAF, what's the easiest sport to pick up for the next Olympics. Hold on, let me look up where the next Olympics are.

Brazil!?

Shit GAF, let's form a country.

 

[Macattk15]

Gotta love the salty Americans, it's the official IOC table, why so salty? And you shouldn't really care, it's not that important.

Quit being a dick. He clearly commented about the Kazakhstan / Japan medal rankings.

 

[Shadow780]

Damn those 'roid PRKs needs to lay off my Morgan D:

 

[Hunter S.]

I cannot believe you would be proud to admit that you bought tickets for nothing. lulz derp

 

[fuenf]

They will declare international conspiracy

most definitely. here's a picture of Kim Jong-Un showing the referee how to hold the red card

North Korea is best Korea! (but not in Archery, Glasses is too cool)

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Wow, US destroying in 4x200M relay.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Why are all the the Olympic kits so ugly. Most of them look straight out of the 80's. Team Gb have the nicest one by far.

Can't link to it now, on mobile, but look up Jamaica's official uniform. It features stylish military jackets, skinny ties, and Bob Marley t-shirts. For real. I honestly would wear the uniform out about town.

 

[Wafflecakes]

How long after an event has aired does it usually become available on BBC to catch up on?

 

[tino]

I personally think

Gold 5
Silver 2
Copper 1

is better.

While we are at it, should also make team sport with more than 2 players a multiplier of # in team/2. So team gymnastic = x2.5, football = x5.5 etc.

Interesting theory. Can you make a google doc to tally up the total points?

 

[Branduil]

In the way it's done now, and the best way, the other medals aren't meaningless.

Silvers are used to place nations who are tied on Golds. Same with Bronze for Gold AND Silver ties.

Yes, but by that system a country with 1 gold, 2 silver, and 0 bronze would be ranked higher than a team with 1 gold, 1 silver, and 45 bronze medals.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

I wonder if more people agree gold is the only way to rank things after USA over take china once more swimming is done and track and field starts

We top the overhyped table by miles anyway

GB GB GB GB GB

first time watching fencing now for me the arena thingy is badass

 

[cubicle47b]

Wow, US destroying in 4x200M relay.

I'm confused, NBC doesn't have a swimming stream up.
