I think maybe Olympic Tennis should be similar to Boxing with only amateurs entering...maybe

 

[mclem]

Hmmm, running a little late at the judo.

 

[Tea and Toast]

What is the Korean Archer doing with her hand? Looks like some sort of salute.

 

[Brazil]

Woot KBB!

 

[Kobalty]

KBB nailed it

 

[Jamie OD]

Stuck in the airport, waiting for my flight home. Watching women's judo on BBC on the lounge TV, USA Vs Brazil. Is this one live?

 

[fuenf]

YES. KBB!

 

[Deadman]

Its a shame they had to play now, i bet Perova would have got a medal otherwise. KKB gold easy.

 

[Majine]

Ki Bo Yea!

 

[ghostmind]

The Queen KBB moves onto the Quarters!

 

[Adamm]

Fuck yeah kbb!

 

[Good Job Bob]

God Ki Bo Bae is a fucking robot.

 

[mclem]

Whoa, after the story about this Brazilian's history, definitely rooting for her in this semi.

 

[Kikujiro]

That was tense, that last 9 was nearly an 8.

 

[Shadow780]

Stringface will not be denied~

In Archery there's a little clip on the bow that always clips down on the arrow about 0.5s before every shot. Does anyone know what it does and how it's triggered?

This Wozniacki vs S. Williams match is pretty great.

 

[ghostmind]

KBB will be facing Lorig in the Quarters.

 

[ag-my001]

Match score was closer than it should have been. Just look at all those hits in the yellow for KBB!

 

[Zaph]

Just got back in time to catch KBB. All is right with the world.

 

[Mr Cola]

no-one watching the Judo? Really good so far, GB in semi v france coming up, USA v Brazil now

Its called "the clicker" and it lets you know you have pulled the arrow back to the correct length. It slides along the side of the arrow until it falls off the front, letting you know you should release now.

Even the boxers aren't really amateur anymore.

 

[John Dunbar]

well, there is one amateur playing.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I really don't get the obsession with the Korean archer to be quite honest.

 

[mclem]

Apparently Cameron and Putin are at the judo. Here's hoping they'll be doing a demonstration match in the interim.

 

[Brazil]

Let's do this Mayra, come on.

 

[ag-my001]

Gonna have to pull for Roman (MEX) in this one. The Mexican flag has that little something extra compared to Italy.

 

[Adamm]

I really don't get the obsession with the Korean archer to be quite honest.

She's sexy and awesome at archery!
The perfect woman...

 

[Brazil]

... What the fuck did she do there. How the fuck do you rush into the opponent falling to the side like that, Mayra?

Meh.

 

[Mr Cola]

USA into the judo final

 

[mclem]

C'mon, Gemma!

 

[NervousXtian]

Kayla Harrison with the armbar.. hell yeah!!

 

[AngryMoth]

What's going on with the shooting, when I turned on bbc1 they were saying we were in with a gold medal shot but it doesn't appear to be on anymore. Is it over? Or not started yet?

 

[fuenf]

I really don't get the obsession with the Korean archer to be quite honest.

well she's the best in the world, nothing more nothing less the "waifu" obsession is starting to get creepy though

 

[Wes]

LET'S GO GEMMA! Judo semis about to start.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Watching the archery makes me wish Darts was in the Olympics.

 

[Good Job Bob]

What time is Archery finals? (EST)

 

[davidsaurus]

Why do I think that the british girl is about to get destroyed?

Shooting is scheduled to start in 20minutes.

 

[Kurtofan]

ALLEZ AUDREY!!

 

[wwlnd]

The DSLR machine-gun shooting must be pretty annoying for the archers, it seems really loud.

Its called "the clicker" and it lets you know you have pulled the arrow back to the correct length. It slides along the side of the arrow until it falls off the front, letting you know you should release now.

cool, thx

 

[ag-my001]

What time is Archery finals? (EST)

Scheduled for 10:30 am est

We're halfway through the quarters, no real breaks from here out.

Final scheduled to start at 3.

 

[LTWheels]

GO GEMMA!!!

 

[Nolan.]

well, there is one amateur playing.

Indeed, Serena is hardly running

 

[Vibri]

Let's go GB Judo! (semis on vs France)

 

[NervousXtian]

Even the boxers aren't really amateur anymore.

Actually they are. A coach can't even be in the corner if they've done a pro match in the last 6 months.

It's strange what sports have to be amateur and which can be pro or semi-pro.

Boxing seems to be one of the last true amateur sports left in the Olympics.

Roman with the perfect set!
