Christ..trying to follow the Olympics in the age of multi channel HD streaming and instant news feeds is just downright bewildering and exhausting....used to be so simple, sit in front of the TV and watch what you were given.

No wonder my attention span has been shot to shit since the internet came along...

Yup, it's an insane juggling act of information overload.

Love it though.

Same here, "yay i can watch anything, fuuck im missing everything"
 
It looks as if we'll end up without a medal from the swimming event, which is utterly disappointing. And after each race we hear the same crap, how great the performance was but it wasn't enough and how - of course - anyone who breaks a world record must be doping.
GB already has swimming medals.
 
Come on Adlington!

I thought Adlington is a cheat because her last 50m is faster than RYAN LOTCHE. Considered USA OWN swimming it is clearly impossible without genetic manipulation.
the reason use for accusing is just lame and stupid

For fencing, there should be no chance than Romania catch up when you can get at most 5 points max?
 
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.

Pools are used in tons of sports and we've never had this before.

I think one problem might be that this is an individual sport, so you can't really rest players like you can in team sports

Are you British? Watching the 800m freestyle? :S
 
I wish i had a Smart-TV right now, because the network airing the olympics here in Sweden keeps switching events every 5 minutes. Back and forth. Ugh
