Love how the BBC commentators are saying that the crowd is well into it because of the mexican wave. Stark contrast to when in a football match one starts up and the commentators are disgusted.

I took part in what I believe may have been my first ever mexican wave at the opening ceremony while we were waiting for things to start.

Hey, if you're going to start a career in mexican waving, you might as well start big.

 

[GimMick]

Poor Matt Baker trying so hard with this interview!

 

[Kjellson]

It's going slow but doesn't seem to be dead.

Opening up CTV regardless, just for backup. *.*

It's working now for me. Thank God.

Track cycling is such a weird sport. It's one of those sports that I only watch during the Olympics.

For those familiar with Roger Federer, how accurate is this impersonation by Jimmy Fallon?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjGiG5xi18w

I've never heard Federer speak but Jimmy is usually spot on with his impersonations.

 

[Hunter S.]

Just discovered Artistic Women's gymnastics. Wow, now that is the true sport that shows off the vagina.

Edit: lol, that is supposed too be rhythmic gymnastics.

 

[Speevy]

Isner playing Federer right now guys, IT'S ALL THAT MATTERS

 

[Dance Inferno]

Oh snap USA vs ESP in beach volleyball, both undefeated so far.

 

[nny]

(Table Tennis)

The player that already lost 2 finals in past Olympics wins his first set: 1-3; you can do it!

 

[Diprosalic]

not good at all.

 

[Fëanor]

That Spanish girl, damn. Soo good.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Jesus, china take the WR straight away again

I suppose this is what happens when you can get away with adopting old East German-like training camps where people are treated like machines.

 

[Monroeski]

Neogaf pls... Pls confirm lochte Phelps for about noonish pst

Is that backstroke? ESPN is showing 2:48 pm eastern, so I guess that would be 12:48 pst?

:;edit::
Nope, just checked start list, no Phelps.

It's one of the worst impersonations that i've ever heard.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

The tramp stamp too on that Polish gymnast lol

How come there isn't a Mens Rhythmatic gymnastics??

Spain v USA in Beach Volleyball

Spain already won ass battle.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Women's All Around Gymnastics starting.

 

[numble]

First time watching cycling sprints. Pretty crazy sport.

 

[Doomshine]

You're not going to let this go are you?

 

[Field]

Kinda depressed woman's archery is over

Can't be depressed since your favorite won.

 

[Diprosalic]

It's one of the worst impersonations that i've ever heard.

It's terrible

yeah it's like he took no time "learning" him at all. he speaks nothing alike.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

[masud]

Gymnastics time. Gabby and Ally lets get it!

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

You're not going to let this go are you?

No I'm not. I have a very strong feeling of ill will toward the super-rich Chinese that I used to see flashing around their wealth whilst I struggled at University. They used to get courted by everyone because they spent the money whilst I got no help at all.

 

[Wes]

France with a new Olympic Record in the Men's Team Sprint.

 

[Speevy]

Del Potro beating Nishikori. I can feel it, this olympic games are Del Potro's time.

 

[Empty]

is this velodrome the polyurethane suit of cycling? records falling everywhere

 

[Hypnotoad]

USA will probably win the most medals, but for Gold its still all open, alot of events with strong chinese athletes are still to come. Nothing decided yet, some people here sound like they expect China not to win anything after today. Even in athletics, there is more than one Chinese Gold contender. Then there is badminton, beach volley, different gymnastics and team sports, where they can go strong.

 

[Hunter S.]

It was supposed to say rhythmic.

 

[LTWheels]

I suppose this is what happens when you can get away with adopting old East German-like training camps where people are treated like machines.

At least we have the Commonwealth Games. They can't compete in that.

 

[TylerD]

Records being broken all over the place in cycling.

 

[Simplet]

France with a new Olympic Record in the Men's Team Sprint.

What is going on in that velodrome?

 

[MIMIC]

Let's go, Gabby! 15.9 for her vault

What an amusingly bizarre initiative. It seems to be one postbox per person (and one stamp per medal), so here's hoping that a sport with a really large team gets a gold!

It'd be hard for the rowing gold from yesterday to have two postboxes further apart.

Everything has been built in mind of breaking records. Climate controlled (it's usually really hot in there), location of crowd, materials, overall shape.
