Who's that guy who won the 50?

Florent Manaudou of France.

 

[HoodWinked]

that shotput took it like a bitch.

 

[RedSwirl]

Anybody else on shotput right now?

 

[mrklaw]

Kids have growth spurts and progress much, much faster than the rest of us. I'd wager similar progress has been seen before now.

Sure. So why the fuss about the Chinese swimmer that improvd by a measly 6 seconds?

Linearers are doing better than spinners.

 

[Dance Inferno]

WTF whenever I use the BBC player I get 2 seconds of video, then the video freezes but I still get audio. What's going on?? I've tried every sport...

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Epic beards.

 

[fuenf]

21.84m ! He's getting closer, his best result.

fucking ZDF who cares about some random german guy in the 1500m, he wont win a medal anyway

 

[PaulLFC]

Heptathlon 200m Heats starting now - neither Jess or KJT are in the first heat.

She beat an American.

 

[Awesome]

Bolt is definitely going to be running right? They said that they are still unsure because of a hamstring injury.

 

[BertramCooper]

Random thought: Those gray jackets the swimmers wear for the medal presentations are AWESOME.

 

[W1SSY]

Anyone know if the Williams sisters will be playing doubles today?

 

[szaromir]

Yes! Poland finally has a gold!

 

[Linkified]

Back at 4th place in medal table. If we lose women football yet another event we can say goodbye in.

 

[Brinbe]

Poland gets gold

 

[giga]

Come on bbc..

"I am proud to get a bronze, there is nothing to be embarrassed about," Adlington, the 2011 world champion, told BBC Sport.

"I hate it when people say it is losing because you have not done my sport. Swimming is one of the hardest events to get a medal at.

"It's not like other sports. Hopefully the public will be proud of me getting that bronze."

Damn right.

I don't think he was going to compete today, Men's 100m or 200m heats are tomorrow..

 

[bud]

le clos' dad again! :3

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

poor Iran

(weightlifting)

 

[Good Job Bob]

Come on bbc..

Haha.

 

[mrklaw]

Anbelievable!

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Come on bbc..

Did Adlington set the WR in 2008 or did I mishear that? If so that is quite a drop in performance in 4 years. If she performed at that level then she'd have beaten Ledecky... but that didn't happen.

 

[luso]

Portugal won against GB in Men's Team Table Tennis 3-0.

 

[paskowitz]

I am just going to leave this here:

 

[inky]

Grats Poland.

 

[Simplet]

Brother of the naked french girl.

You guys know she didn't put those pictures out right? Apparently her boyfriend put those on the net after they broke up. That's kind of disgusting and I'm surprised people even know about that shit outside of France...

 

[mclem]

Well, looks like I'm going back to London. Just snagged tickets for next Satruday's athletics.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Burt!

 

[fuenf]

At least one of our streams has some running competition of (beautiful) women. I'm not too upset.

Fun fact, last Olympics 21.51m were enough to win gold.

I'm usually streaming BBC but watching it on TV is always preferably. The ARD /ZDF streams look like shit though, maybe my settings are screwed but they look worse than 360p Youtube videos. BBC on the other hand is in crystal clear HD.

 

[Simplet]

Nice France/USA boxing fight, french guy won by one point! 19/18

 

[SDBurton]

Come on bbc..

Pfffft hahahaha!

 

[Withnail]

Was that Chef from South Park doing shot put?

 

[RedSwirl]

Grats Poland.

Field Hockey?

 

[Sky Chief]

Anybody else on shotput right now?

So awesome

 

[inky]

Field Hockey?

Weightlifting.

Louise Hazel running in this 200m heat for the heptathlon

She did, but 2008 had those cheat suits did it not? Adlington is kind of old too for a female swimmer.

It was all over the media online.

 

[Xun]

Not sure I've ever seen Murray play better.

So soon after his Wimby heartbreak too, impressive.

His head is certainly in the right place nowadays.

A combination of Lendl coaching, and him reaching the Wimbledon final will be the reason I suspect.

I hope he can win gold, and hopefully win a Grand Slam soon.

Kick-Ass theme song playing in the Olympic Stadium, haha. Awesome.

 

[Lyonaz]

Louise Hazel you so fine!

 

[Awesome]

Yeah not today but they are saying he might not even run at all.

Well at least she has that for the time being.

 

[DemonNite]

loads of new WR were set this year without them.. doesn't matter

 

[sangreal]

wish there was some commentary on shot put

 

[mokeyjoe]

British swimming team in the next olympics:

 

[Devilgunman]

Thai boxr on the fight next

 

[Dance Inferno]

Reposting - anyone have the answer to this??! Driving me nuts!

 

[Koodo]

I know it would be poetic et al for Murray to finally win a major event during the Olympics on home soil, but I'm here for Federer getting his Golden Career Grand Slam on the same court that made him a legend. *.*

 

[Omzz]

Lol christian cantwell

"Fuck"
