Brilliant vault from that Brazilian lad.

 

[numble]

So that whatever Fencing Federation apologized to the poor Shin, blame their cheap clock can only handle 1 second at a time (really? is it sponsor by Omega??).

And now those jokers want to give her a "special medal" for ""aspiration to win and respect for the rules." More like "thanks for coming loser" medal. Not sure if Shin actually accept the medal.

Wow. She was guaranteed at least silver and got nothing.

Gio HAD IT. D:

Fuck the ticketing site... tried like 20 different events and every time nothing. Wouldn't be so bad but I have to wait 3 minutes each time

How much are the tickets?

 

[Kurtofan]

If the Russian guy had faulted on to the other side of the mat he might have Purvis'd

hahahahahahahha

 

[Big-E]

Except you know, they weren't just resting. They were intentionally hitting the net or outside the field. They were making a mockery of the match. Completely deserved.

Well not trying is the same as resting. Even though we say that the Olympics are not for the money, reality says otherwise. There are big money in medals and you shouldn't punish behavior if they were getting away with it before. Beach volleyball does pool play but they do a draw for the matchups in the elimination play to make sure people don't throw it. Badminton Federation just trying to save face for being idiotic.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

How much are the tickets?

A lot... depends on the event. Most of the available tickets are pretty expensive. Like £50-£100, but there are tickets on there for several hundred pounds.

 

[Nolan.]

Damn the Korean guy was just tumbling around

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Holy shit, my mouth dropped

 

[Koodo]

This South Korean guy botched his floor routine right at the end.

 

[Regulus Tera]

This team doesn't know how to free kick. :/

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Just heard about the 8 female badminton player disqualifications.

The Olympics committee has been absolutely on point with these DQs. Love that they're not fucking around.

They gave one of the gymnasts points off for what was basically a perfect jump. I don't get it.

Oh wow, better save up for Brazil...

You've brought shame to my ignorance, sir.

Thank you for admitting my brilliance. It is all I ever wanted.

Really? They said that? They fucked up her chance to win a gold medal and that's their justification, this is some big bullshit.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Time for more fencing.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Did they announce the score for the Korean floor?

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

These are awesome.

 

[Big-E]

Holy shit at the poor Korean fencing situation. Forcing her off the piste when it was your own fault and doing so under the threat of dq is garbage.

 

[Wes]

Did they announce the score for the Korean floor?

12.266

Or as the BBC guy said "Another one bites the dust."

Which is the shame for Kristian now I fear.

 

[dc89]

Savannah Leaf in Team GB's court volleyball team.

HNNNNG!

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Shin should tell them to fuck off, the whole thing is a sick joke. Feel so bad for her

 

[Good Job Bob]

Did they announce the score for the Korean floor?

12.226

 

[AngryMoth]

Kristian . That was the important one

 

[Good Job Bob]

Haha terrible landing for Kristian.

 

[Miles X]

Think it's over for Purvis and Thomas

 

[Wes]

Kristian went for broke. Difficulty was 7 on that vault.

 

[Nolan.]

Orozco recovered well, good stuff

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Think it's over for Purvis and Thomas

Your positivity is infectious.

 

[Big-E]

I don't remember people having so much trouble on the vault before in previous Olympics. Seems its like a 50-50 chance of landing now.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Oh thank goodness the music on the fencing stream changed. That was fucking annoying

 

[LegoArmo]

Japan got this.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

A fight for the bronze then

 

[Koodo]

The male gymnasts are just awfully twitchy today.

 

[la_briola]

was this posted?

whats wrong with those people? :lol

this one is even better

:lol

 

[Psychotext]

Bless them and their geographic knowledge.

 

[elty]

I played Hearts of Iron and Poland has beaches for amphibious assault.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

this one is even better

:lol

Someone should tell Poland that they no longer have beaches.

 

[Dennis]

I wish "Poland has no beach" would become a new meme.

 

[-Kees-]

this one is even better

:lol

They forgot Poland

Spoiler

's beaches.

Did you actually watch the match?

It's not that they weren't trying (hard enough). They were actively scoring for the opponent.

 

[Sealda]

POL got no beaches

 

[nny]

oh snap, that's great. Where are the tweets asking how the Netherlands can perform in non-underwater sports?

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Wtf interruption just as Purvis is about to do the bars

 

[MasterShotgun]

The second Men's Epee fencing semi-final is about to begin.

MARCEL Nguyen showing how it's done on the parallel bars.

Expectations were raised considerably.

 

[Good Job Bob]

HAHAA PURVIS FLOPS AGAIN
