Finish with a 10! Straight sets win!

Miki would be losing her shit.

What a weird schedule for the french basketball team.

They started with USA, then Argentina, then Lithuania and finally Tunisia and Nigeria. Getting easier and easier all the time.
 
how long at does it take to be fairly competent at archery? (let's say on an amateur level)

Depends how often you train I guess. In the beginning you progress rather fast... giving you the feeling you are the next Robin Hood. After a while you notice it is really hard to keep shooting consistent.

Mind you, the distance you shoot is 18-25 meters. On 70 meters I doubt my arrow would even reach the target :P
 
Watching these rowing races right now shows what a huge joke NBC is for dubbing the sound. The chase boats don't matter and quite frankly, I'm not missing anything by not hearing the individual strokes.

That's why I like the side-angle camera, very interesting to see just how high they are aiming.
 
Dressage starts now... hope Germany wins a medal, but i dont know if can force myself to watch it. (and it looks like it'll go on forever, today, tomorrow, 2 days next week..)

edit: i tried my best but just cant take it anymore. call me again when they hand out the medals

You couldn't pay me to watch that

Fancy horse-stepping and top hats? Yeah... no.
 
Watching Mayra Aguiar fight is a completely different experience from watching most of the other Brazilian judokas fight. Aggressive judo is always the best.
 
Judo is much more exciting with the Guile theme playing in the background, heh.

wow you are onto something, the theme works very well for Dressage too, granted it's more laughter than excitement but that's still a million times better than Dressage without it!

I'd argue a ton of Olympic sports benefit, especially when it's a 1v1 situation as well. :) Made that GB/Mongolia Judo match super hype, especially when GB took it back at literally the last second.
 
Women's Field Hockey is quickly becoming one of my favorites to watch. The Dutch are the undisputed hotties, but some of the US and Aussie women playing now are pretty damn cute.
 
Taipei guy won the first set and then gave up on the match in Table Tennis, haha. A shame.

The British Judo girls are tearing it apart!

Her performance is pretty freaking amazing, tbh. She's ranked #100 and managed to beat the world champion.
