We are so damn good at riding bikes.

 

[Deadman]

We need pendleton to win the keirin next so we can go 3rd in the table

 

[woolley]

Rogers is just stinking it up right now on beach volleyball. They're about to get eliminated.

 

[Meadows]

BY THE WAY

we were handicapped because there's a limit on the amount of medals you can win in track cycling, so this isn't even our first team that just fucked up Oz and won the WR.

FUCK YES GB

FUCK

YES

 

[Sax Russel]

Who kidnapped Andy Murray and replaced him with this guy?

Pendleton vs Mears will be a challenge. I don't think there is a guarantee that she'll win it.

FUCK YES GB

FUCK

Do you mean as in cyclists? So each person can only win so many medals, and that wasn't even our usual first team?!

Amazing performance.

WOLD REDAL

GORLD MECORD

You watch soccer/football ? Strategic fouls to prevent goals or man advantage is part of the game right ?

Yes, strategic fouls, drawing fouls or charges is a part of basketball.

Link me where I said it wasn't ok to do this. The problem is the double standard people like giga does.

And ensuring you have the best matchup out of pool play is also a part of some sports and resting players and taking it easy when you can't improve position is also a normal part of sport. No one here has a problem with fouls in basketball but the fact that some people in the Olympics are being called disgusting for competing within the rules.

Exactly.

Go Djokovic

 

[Xun]

Absolutely superbly done by GB!

 

[tj hazuki]

Ahhh come on USA.
USA tied!!

I thought it was only one Team GB team in each event, so we can't get Gold AND Silver/Bronze in the same event (like in 2008)

yep, there's a limit on the amount of medals you can win. That's why Hoy/Kenny etc weren't even considered.

 

[Officerrob]

Great beach volleyball game going on

 

[ZZMitch]

Tied!

 

[Empty]

that was so exhilarating. i just wanna get on my bike and cycle really fast now.

[Jeff Albertson]

 

[Alebrije]

Ahhh come on USA.
USA tied!!

Football ?

 

[demigod]

Uh oh...here we go!!!!!!

 

[szaromir]

Come on Andy, time to put the final nail in the coffin of Djokovic domination era.

 

[Brinbe]

Italians prevail

 

[Brazil]

Man, Kobe is everywhere.

 

[PaulLFC]

Wow, that makes this even more amazing then!

Why did this happen in the cycling, but not happen in the swimming where the US are just as dominant (and there are even more events).
Seems unfair to me.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Italy sweeps USA in men's beach volleyball to advance to quarterfinals.

Welp, guess NBC is not going to show any more beach volleyball matches ever again.

 

[demigod]

Ouch, #2 out of Quarterfinals.

 

[killer_clank]

COME ON MURRAY AND PENDLETON

 

[weekend_warrior]

US men suck.

 

[ZZMitch]

First archery and then volleyball... Damn Italians!

Meh they deserved to win.

 

[Omzz]

Italians pull it off.

This has been discussed to death and there is no answer that will satisfy you.

Two women's teams still alive

Oh ok, sorry new to the thread

 

[Brazil]

Holy shit, Rogers and Dalhausser are out?!

Oh, the beautiful glory.

Each individual sport federation makes the rules really. IOC has some minor oversight such as making deals with bringing pros in for example. What people don't realize is that the Olympics take the place of the World Championships in Olympic years.

 

[killer_clank]

I'm pretty sure it's the sport governing body in each individual sport, not the IOC, that decides the rules and tournament format which would explain the disparity between cycling and swimming. Not entirely sure about that though.

 

[krYlon]

Cheers for the answers guys, that makes more sense.

 

[Nesotenso]

Two women's teams still alive

i think the second men's team are still in but they are lower ranked.

 

[Nekki]

Hows the score in murray's match??

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Holy shit, Rogers and Dalhausser are out?!

Oh, the beautiful glory.

I knew it was a bad omen when they lost to that one nation that doesn't have beaches.....

 

[Omzz]

2-2, First set
