GAAAABBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

The Russians really want to win a gold medal.

 

[Macattk15]

They don't have the upper body strength to lift their own body weight?

Have you ever watched the men do the rings?

You honestly think the women can do that easily? :40 second mark in particular.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Mens Gymnastics are a lot more interesting to watch I think. Just look at the difference in Floor, half the time the girls just seem to be dancing and prancing where as the guys are flipping, jumping and handstanding all over the place

 

[killer_clank]

Cameron is there.

Welp, we're fucked In everything

 

[MIMIC]

Gabby back in 1st (obviously) with a couple more gymnasts to go, including her teammate

 

[Macattk15]

The other russian needs like a 15.3 to win ..... too bad Jordyn was bumped. I think she could have done better than Aly.

I don't see nothing wrong in that ...

 

[giga]

Raisman is amazing on the floor. Hope she can medal.

 

[Dark Schala]

Let's go fencing.

Man, I can't watch gymnastics at all. Plus I don't really understand it much in terms of what people do or the scoring or whatever, lol.

It sucks I have to wait until primetime to watch the Olympic gymnastics. How are you Americans watching it?

It's important to show the basic stuff aswell as all the fancy flips.

Need a ton of upper body strength for rings. I just don't think the girls have it.

I was half joking but I do wonder if they could actually do some form of it

Online. The network with the broadcasting rights (NBC) has all of the sports streaming

NBC streams it live but won't put the replay up until well after it airs.

You can also use unblock-us.com or expatshield and watch the bbc cast.

Raisman is amazing on the floor. Hope she can medal.

Looking at the numbers Ally needs something like a 15.2 to medal. She got a 15.3 on the floor during the team final.

edit: She got a 15.133, she's TIED with the Russian.

 

[Pacbois]

Wooo France ! OR !

Judging from the strain on the men's faces I don't think it's easy for them at all. Muscle is also not free. It is heavy and the men have much more mass to lift.

The women could lift their own body weight like that if they trained accordingly but then they'd look like women and not prepubescent girls.

 

[davidsaurus]

Here comes Komova to crush US dreams?

 

[Officerrob]

15.133 for Ally

 

[Bo-Locks]

[Brinbe]

Wow, what a routine by Komova... daaamn, this is gonna be close

 

[giga]

Fuck that was good :|

 

[Bo-Locks]

France breaks the OR...

GB breaks the WR...

 

[Hoo-doo]

Russian girl killed it on the floor routine.

 

[Nesotenso]

Raisman out of medal contention.

Gabby can get silver or gold.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Damn, that routine

 

[BadWolf]

Holy shit, Russian nailed it.

 

[Macattk15]

Komova nailed her routine. Gabby, Komova, Mustafina. 1,2,3. I think.

 

[LTWheels]

[giga]

Congrats to Gabby though. Both those girls were worthy of gold.

 

[Nolan.]
