Impressive shooting but all the BBC commentators kept saying was the Nigerian defence were not making it hard for them at all.

I thought the Spain v GB match was more exciting as it was tense to the final moments.

My favorite kind of matches are the ones where one side blows the other out of the water. But close matches are very good also.

Germany wins in the third set 15-13! And that concludes Olympic action for the day. See you all in 8 hours. *Olympic theme plays*

 

[Diprosalic]

Usa beasting on gold front now. Does china have a chance?

 

[Sealda]

I hate to bring this up, but in the second game set, the chinese and korean duos both plays normal badminton. Although the chinese, looses a few easy balls. However, they are clearly playing and there is no way to see they are trying to loose.

It looks just a bit, relaxed.

Tomorrow, China will get around 5-7 medals in Badminton.

 

[zero_suit]

Nigeria....

 

[Draconian]

Holy crap at that boxing clip. I've seen a lot of stuff where I thought the fix was in, but never anything as blatant as that. Unbelievable.

At least one of the Chinese teams were DQ'd

How many teams did China have? I know 2 were disqualified.

Tomorrow, they're supposed to rake in several more.

US had to push in the basketball, if Nigeria caught the snitch they could have still won.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

The boxing referee from the Azerbaijan Japan match has been suspended. good riddance.

What about the crooked judges?

Holy shit at this video. Wow I've never seen such blatant cheating by the officials.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Making an offering for Kobe?

she looks under 18.
heck she can pass for a 12yr old.
konex, thats your neck of the woods.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Any other Nigerians watch this shit?

Yep, i was expecting a 60 point lead but 80 point is a bit too much. oh well, am not even mad.

 

[Soyongdori]

New day tomorrow for judo, fencing, and archery.

 

[BravesCountry]

This is why quidditch isn't an olympic sport. For real though, the snitch is such bullshit.

[Shadow780]

Woot, nice early soccer match tomorrow.

Let's go Morgan! <3

 

[Draconian]

What about the crooked judges?

No kidding. They scored the fight 22-17 in favor of Azerbaijan. I mean let's not make it obvious at all what's really going on guys. Just about everyone involved in that fight other than the boxers need to be shown the door.

I'm pretty sure refs can tell what they are doing just like the commentators and everyone else saw. Just because they tried to make it less than crystal clear what they were doing after being warned doesn't mean they were fooling anyone.

 

[BravesCountry]

What about the crooked judges?

They haven't made a statement on the judges yet, they are probably looking into it right now. Either way they should be banned.

Why don't the Olympics just get rid of Boxing altogether, if it's not a real sport?

 

[evilhomer]

How many teams did China have? I know 2 were disqualified.

Two teams per country max I think. It was two Korean teams dq'd with one Chinese, they were trying to avoid the other Chinese team that had already advanced.

 

[theignoramus]

does Olympic boxing even have much credibility anymore? It's been a cesspool of dirt for decades.

Off to Wimbledon tomorrow. I get to see:

Federer v Del Potro
Azarenka v Serena
Djokovic v Murray
Williams Sisters v Kirilenko/Petrova

All on centre court. Should be a good day but I'm annoyed I'll be missing velodrome action, rowing drama and Jessica Ennis in Day 1 of the Heptathlon.

 

[Chumly]

Tomorrow, China will get around 5-7 medals in Badminton.

Badminton medals will be over the next 3 days. Should be offset by swimming medals for USA in the next two along with start of track and field.

Let's go, Del Po!!!

 

[mrklaw]

Apparently there are still tickets for tomorrow in the athletics, and the morning at eton (I could walk there, tempted)

 

[perfectchaos007]

Why don't the Olympics just get rid of Boxing altogether, if it's not a real sport?

Also, there are plenty of "subjective" sports in the Olypics that rely on judge scoring. I don't understand why Boxing is always the sport riddled with controversial rulings. I know there have been historical cases of Americans getting slighted in rulings at the Olympics

 

[weekend_warrior]

Is it strange that I find this womens judo match erotic?

Nice, those should all be great matches.

Odds against Del Potro, but i can only wish he plays well and wins!

 

[Xun]

I really regret not attempting to get tickets for the Olympics.

I didn't realise I'd enjoy it this much.

 

[BravesCountry]

I don't know, I'm watching it right now too and I just find it kind of awkward.

Boxing has had multiple actual bribing scandals though. Obviously thats significantly worse than the controversial slights in stuff like gymnastics. Boxing is also GLARING obviously. It would be like a judge in gymnastics giving a great routine a 12 for no reason.

I hear there are a lot of tickets in most of sports due to the cost, also in alot of sports they reduced the cost this week. If you live in GB still have chance to go.

 

[Psychotext]

Djokovic v Murray

Welp, that's Murray out then.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It's not too late!

I bought some tickets a few hours ago for Handball tomorrow!

Welp, that's Murray out then.

I figure he's in the mixed doubles as a safety net for when he's out of the mens.

Boxing is the most corrupted "sport" , "Professional" box is more a gambling game than a sport. Amateur used to be clean but now is spoiled by Professional box.

Because the entire sport is corrupt at every level.

 

[Nekki]

I'm too lazy to read the convoluted website of the olympics for this info, but how are tickets managed??

Is it per-event or per-day??? Like, does the ticket give you entry to any event or you have to buy them separately?

Ugh. Federer with a bye to the finals from the word go. :-/ Neishikori might as well have made the semis....wouldn't have made a bit of a difference.

Olympic boxing has always been corrupted, and that is amateur.

 

[linsivvi]

Joker vs Murray shall be a great match.

 

[Koodo]

Archery left me so sleep deprived that I slept through most of the Women's Gymnastics. *o*

Bless Gabby for winning, she is amazing.

 

[Korey]

That's what I'm saying. Seems like a simple decision to get rid of it.

I'll take a look tomorrow then! It would be cool to go to an event.

Welp, that's Murray out then.

He's a much better player now than he used to be, so who knows?

I'm not getting my hopes up though...

It's not too late!

I bought some tickets a few hours ago for Handball tomorrow!

How much?

I'll have to take a gander tomorrow.

 

[tino]

Thats very easy. 4 years ago I was in China but I couldn't get any ticket. You have to have a citizen id number to apply for the ticket raffle ahead of time.

 

[Big-E]

Ya boxing is beyond redemption. Didn't see it as I was not even 2 years old but Roy Jones got fucked over in 88 landed like 800 shots to the face and losing. The athletes must love their sport as I would be so discouraged to know that at any moment I can lose for no reason.
