Now it's a game; USA-ESP 1-1 in beach volleyball. It all comes down to the final set.
am I the only one who thinks Beach Volleyball is boring to watch?!
Indoor Volleyball is so much more fun and strategic IMO.
Oh please. Cycling gets a lot of people caught out because of the amount of testing. Don't think for one minute that something like baseball or basketball is free of doping.Well given China's history of institutional doping in a wide variety of international sports (not even to mention the rampant doping in cycling in general) people will always be skeptical.
Yeah...I was looking forward to a China/GB final.
The fact that athletes don't get an appeal is fucking dumb.
Hey where can I watch the full opening ceremony in HD ?! I missed most of it and my gf and I wish to watch it.
Rules are rules I guess, and i'd love to see how close it truly was.
BBC iPlayer if you're in the UK.
People don't watch beach volley for the game itself, you know...
god
the crowd is FUCKING DEAD
no wonder tbh...
I remember in the 90's when Chinese female swimmers came out of nowhere and started dominating. At the time they claimed it was because they ate caterpillar larvae. Turns out the were all doing steroids and HGH.

This table shows position by population or GDP, which is quite interesting.

But yeah, giant countries like the US and China are always going to win more because they make up about half the world's population between them, but on a per-person basis they're usually pretty poor. Australia is usually really impressive for such a small country.
What happened with GB getting disqualified? What sport and why?
Yeah, 4 years training all gone in a second. What other events is Victoria in?
I agree, it's just serve, set, spike. Every single time, hardly any blocking plus everyone is old and ugly looking. no benefits at all from it.

That's not true at all. Go play a game against someone who plays table tennis and tell me it doesn't require athleticism.

US projected to win 11 golds (and a bunch of silvers and bronzes) according to trackandfieldnews.com.
They are giving the U.S a bit too much credit Blake can beat Bolt and if Bolt and Blake are in the 400 x 4 the U.S is not winning.
Then I demand bowling join the Olympics. Those guys rae known to be very athletic atheltes because they move when playing. :-D
Only medal table that matters, China/USA so bad.

Illegal changeover between two cyclists. They didn't get any advantage, kind of like if a runner ran out of his lane in a relay.

Much larger difference between a 100 sprint and a longer 400 than I think you are crediting.
you are watching the wrong matches then. beachvolleyball is usually extremely exciting and has players like this

The fact it doesn't really give an advantage really makes it an unfair judgement. Should have just warned them and let them compete.
I know this and I stand by what I said.

I suppose some countries have to think of the Olympics like this in order to feel relevant.
